The Gen 3 cars certainly look different with the squashed roof lines giving them that squat, brutish appearance reminiscent of the old Transam cars and they certainly handle differently by the looks of things having lost all that aero and some of the trick devices. Very early days I know but so far despite all the recent bickering and endless debates as to who has the advantage, the times are very close between Ford and GM although I guess Newcastle is hardly representative of things to come.
