Gussets approved to strengthen weak points in the chassis:

Macaulay Jones called for the front splitters to be redesigned for improved strength:

I imagine that will be approved too, along with strengthening other weak points like the steering rack mounts and suspension mounts.

Two different engines, no matter how well "equalised" will still be different, ergo, someone will have an advantage.
Asking Supercars for cheap(er), parity and different engines is, I feel, a bridge too far

I would have been quite happy with a Mustang Cup similar to the Carrera Cup myself! No more silly things like parity adjustments.
It seems a Mustang Cup as the Australian Touring Car Championship is something the Holden faithful were less enthusiastic about...
On the other hand, the NZV8 faction of the NZV8 v V8SuperTourer split managed to achieve parity between a variety of vehicles and engines including the TRD 5L in a Toyota Camry shaped racer. It wasn't necessary to adopt a category engine like the V8SuperTourer class.

Yes and no I guess. One-make F2 & F3 produce good racing. Ford could proudly promote the Mustang Cup as the only manufacturer involved, which seems more logical than having Chevrolet Camaros running around winning which aren't sold in Australia nor sponsoring teams or the series.
