IMHO SBR will be way infront of KR because they seem to understand the cars far better , If DJR hang Mazda panels off their COTF they won't go any better as I doubt that their drivers have the ability at sorting the handling of a new package (just MHO) and their engine power seems to be down from a few years ago.
I suspect parity may take a couple of forms, including engine performance, but perhaps too aerodynamic adjustments.

As the teams understand their aero packages better during the season, some might do a better job than the other... I mean the current Ford & Holden front splitters came from a similar design concept to attempt conformance...

Depends if the Nissan & Erebus packages are derivations of these kits, or something different. There is already chat to suggest that both the Nissan and Benz are more slippery through the air than the homegrown Ford and Holden... by what degree is unclear... how do you design a parity structure around that?
