Amaroo Park should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Your kidding right? From the moment this formula has started there has not been effective mangment of the rules of the category, And Ford has benifited just as much as Holden.

When Seton first raced a Falcon at Sandown, Bathurst and Adelaide GP in 1992 he presented the car at each meeting with a different aero kit. Thus giving Ford more ontrack testing before Homolgation papers where submitted at the end of the year. The Commodore raced with no front splitter and a shalow angle rear wing until mid 1993 when CAMS adressed the problem. Ford at that time demanded that they should be no mid season Homolagation changes agian. If only Ford had stuck to that since.

But then as we know in latter times we have had both Holden and Ford screaming parity and getting things changed on the cars.

What are the differences in the cars now. Well just engine, front suspension and body shape. So really only 3.

We are fast getting a formula that is looking very simular to NASCAR. But I don't see the problem as NASCAR is the best Sedan Championship in the World.
