Waters is in the John Bowe club.

Flashes of brilliance punctuated by crashes and letdowns by the team on every front.

Too busy whingeing about parity to deal with the genuine issues.

Supercars confirms trigger of parity review

Welcome to the beginning of the end..

Supercar Kicks off Contracted Parity Review

And asking the homologation teams for recommendations.

Really?

Is it aero? Is it engine?
Does anybody know?

The team owners don’t seem to..

I didn't get to see the Darwin races apart from high lights.

With the 12+ seconds of full throttle and 4 up shifts were the Chevs able to easily pass the Fords down the main straight and drive away?

Put the Chev engine in a Tickford Mustang and do back to back tests.... it will show if it is car, aero or engine.... problem solved!

Parity review opened by supercars.

It's a great idea but it's probably a bit complicated for geniuses at supercars to consider.

Put simply, no. Overtakes into turn 1 were set up by better performance on exit of the last corner.

So with what, the longest straight outside of Bathurst there was no descernible difference in straight line speed?

Mustang and Camaro differences ‘interesting’ says Davison

I think it's "interesting" the differences between DJR Team Penske and pure old DJR.

Before Penske, DJR were midfield runners, very ordinary.

Strangely after Penske they slipped right back there.

Since Dr Story especially is no longer around, they are aimless.

Tickford rookie day becomes Supercars parity test

Perhaps Mr Van Gisbergen can be asked for his technical assessment of conventional diffs in a NASCAR versus the locked diff in a V8Supercar..

If it offers benefit, is a cheap change.. is it possible to be looked at

**GTRMagic** · 9 Jul 2023, 07:31 (Ref:4167299)

Meantime, can I have the contract to supply steering racks?
They seem to keep failing, so there must be a great market for replacements

Any updates on T8 testing their steering rack 'solution'?

At this rate their ought to be compulsory rack changes for the endurance races...

Probably need twenty racks for Bathurst, just in case

Are T8 having more issues with steering racks than other teams, it seems to be the case?

No, I don't think so. Pretty sure Tim Edwards told a similar story at Townsville.

Is it necessary though? Isn't half the problem that the modern cars are too sophisticated and handle too well?

If the spool has been good enough for 30 years (35+ years in Commodores? did the Sierras have spools too?), isn't it perfectly adequate?

After all, if there is only one rear wheel on the ground then presumably it doesn't matter which type of differential you have (as long as it's not an open one)?
