It is bizarre that only NOW it is made clear that is
expressly disallowed to improve upon the aerodynamic performance of VF, FGX and Altima in any circumstances in order to maintain "cornerstone"
technical parity.
Surely 888, Holden teams (in converting to ZB, which would be unnecessary if VF had guarantees) and Ford Performance (and Ford teams in converting to Mustang unnecessarily if FGX had guarantees) would not have spent so much money if
only this had been made clear earlier?
Quote:
T8 is believed to have invested more than $1 million developing the ZB for Supercars racing. Based on its small frontal area and huge rear wing with endplate mounting that will catch plenty of grip-generating wind mid-corner, the ZB is expected to be a very competitive Supercar.
Some Holden teams initially said they would stick with the VF for 2016, but the ZB’s expected aerodynamic advantages have clearly convinced them to make the switch, despite complaints about the cost T8 has been charging for parts.

Furthermore, if ZB has an aerodynamic advantage over VF Commodore and by extension Altima & FGX Falcon -- an advantage which is expressly
not allowed -- why is the ZB not also facing an aero cut?
