From This Clip about the CoolDrive car..

..could you conclude that V8Supercar is fiddling with engine maps on the run…
..and could you further conclude that the change after the first session led to a reduction in speed and therefore competitiveness of the #3 CoolDrive car?

And if so.. when can CoolDrive Racing, for example, expect a cheque from V8Supercars for a lack of competitiveness, and the accompanying lack of teev air time as the car was at the back
It would seem so, the mark of a category that is not very organised!

It seems there are a lot of factors which were beyond the scope of Craig Hasted's dyno to assess, when he was putting the paritised engine maps together.

Can KRE rustle up enough Gen3 Chevrolets to power the whole field and bump off this ineffectiveness means of carrying out reparitising engine performance in public?
I'd rather they didn't. The Coyote sounds a lot better! It has much more of an angry high-pitched sound (4-2-1 headers instead of 4-1?).

A category engine should be a neutral one like a Nissan VK56 or Toyota 2UR.
