Sorry being nastalgic

I don't think you are the only one with "holden withdrawl syndrome"........personally I like it better without holden.

I really like it better without holden but I prefer GT3 to supercars.

Honestly why would you say that, This series was built on Ford and Holden, but I think you let your guard down by saying you prefer GT3 to supercars. Maybe now yes but the Old School Holden v Ford V Nissan V Volvo etc etc etc were the best part of the series.

Sorry mate but you are just far too one eyed too worry about. I appreciate all makes, models and drivers. Im 1 eyed holden but I appreciate everyone.

Well I'm glad that I was never a holden supporter because they're goneski, some of the posters in here are just Ford haters and it irks them that Ford are still racing but holden are not.

Don't go down that rabbit hole bud, learn from other peoples mistakes.
Keep yourself as a respected member of the forum. I'm more interested in your opinions and views on motorsport. Even Mixer has stepped over it.

Good Point, I am very one eyed FORD, but have enjoyed all the racing.

**GTRMagic** · 3 Sep 2024, 07:06 (Ref:4225309)

Is this the future pilot of the SCT car?

Kingair · 3 Sep 2024, 09:05 (Ref:4225313)

Always a possibility, but what happens with the current SCT pilot?

**GTRMagic** · 5 Sep 2024, 04:25 (Ref:4225475)

I wonder if anyone realises it’s only September when they make official comment as representatives of their teams…

Story Here

A new team with less pressure?

It’s not a particularly positive endorsement from the Ford team management is it?

And arguably a silly thing to say.
Especially when the story in the paddock is that the driver left as opposed to not being renewed.

How’s the Ford homologation process going? Do we have a homologated Ford dashboard yet?

Rebirth of DJR.

They may even fix the dashboards but I'm sure you'll find something else to whinge about!

I’m sure it will be done when the next model is imminent..

Ares · 8 Sep 2024, 05:34 (Ref:4225749)

I'm pretty sure the DJRTP, oh sorry djr have a dash in them. WAU may also? Waters car still doesn't. Maybe it is a weight thing? Not sure on the rest.

Unless an unreported miracle has occurred, each Ford team has a different dashboard setup to every other Ford Mustangteam in the field.

There does not appear to be a homologated dashboard for them.

While over in the Chev corner, there is allegedly an approved design, and most if not all sourced from the house of 8’s

It dose look a bit that way. I know the waters setup looks a lot like some plastic signage sheet folded up. It is a little surprising Supercars have allowed it to continue this long.

Bloody Supercars always allowing Ford team to do as they please, now if this was T8

It is just a symptom of where DJR are at. Complaining about being overwhelmed.
Left Tickford to do the door panels to allow Mustangs to get below minimum weight to allow ballast.
Changed their mind and wasted aero changes by changing something and then changed it back.
Without Ludo I can't see it getting a lot better. Bush though is very good at setting up a car.

I don't think Team18 are going to be the setup kings next year. I don't think setting cars up is either one of their drivers strong point? An old dog can catch a bone one day.

It must be a Siamese Twin cat to get more than 9 lives. Might explain why two heads pull in different directions too.

No point hiding that the cars are sports sedans. They are not fooling anyone with the carbon-fibre dash and bonnet on the Camaro anyway.
