Again this is a horrible take and an undue sleight on a well-engineered 2019 Mustang which was entirely within the
letter of the rules.
...as were the Penske Mercedes pushrod Indy 500 engines too for that matter!
Randomly adding front splitter extensions and bootlid Gurney to the rival Commodore (and removing endplate area from the Mustang)
without VCAT testing is by comparison, not within the letter of the rules, where the official VCAT showed the cars already matching in downforce and drag at the required test parameters.
Now, Ford Performance
dispute however the parity of results found in 2023 VCAT testing and straight line data. This is a serious concern indeed!
