Seems suspicious! Surely the last thing the category needs is for 888 to have more data than others.



Surely more of the Gen 3 car design process should have been allocated to an independent third party like Garry Rogers Motorsport, not a rival competitor like 888 too...

...if GRM had included flaws like the ol' GRM steering rack vibration problem that the likes of McLaughlin learned to ignore, all the better!

According to Jeremy Moore, himself and two others at 888 were involved in a designing a large proportion of the Gen 3 car. The steering rack for example is supposedly a 888 design according to Brad Jones.
Do 888 and DJR not already have a ton of data from running/building the prototypes?

Always striked me as odd that you would have the 2 biggest teams involved with the prototypes while trying to achieve more "parity" across the field with the new car. Surprised that it hasn't been discussed more in the public domain.

Of course i might be barking up the wrong tree.
