Chevrolet do not even compete in the series officially. The series has only one manufacturer and will lose it if they are not careful. Zero race victories is damning. Some say it is damning of the teams rather than the vehicle but the problem is this CANNOT BE PROVED as by their own admission Ford Performance
have not been given the data in a transparent manner.
This lack of data transparency is unacceptable, correct?

This does not mesh with Rushbrook's complaints for parity to be sorted before the cars debut falling on deaf ears so that he had to go to the press.
I hope they have the weighted LS flywheels ready for the AVL dyno testing with different levels of weight at the perimeter to make sure the LS engine has inertia equivalent to the Coyote.
But that is still a failure, those heavily counterweighted flywheels should have been on those LS engines
already from the start of the season, no? One engine having less inertia is not technical parity.
The Blanchard Racing car doing a faster laptime with the new engine map in Practice 1 then they did for the rest of the entire weekend is also damning of the old engine map detuned by Mr. Hasted with good intentions (I agree that Craig Hasted is not biased) being way off the mark and having unforseen problems from the
way ignition timing and cam angle has been reduced to reduce performance in combination with allegedly a
smaller throttle restrictor than the other engine.

Such obtuse statements will just make ATCC fans turn to other forms of motorsport like Formula One, if they haven't already. At least Formula One is a competition where teams and manufactures can develop their own cars and engines to the best of their ability...
Not just tune springs, dampers, swaybars and alignment on a kit car with an expectation to "trust" the kit car is 100% equivalent in every way to the other kit car (
without the manufacturer having been provided the data to prove it...).
If the Ford RBPT engine will be competitive or not it will be on them, same for the Red Bull Racing chassis.

Speculation. If it was not a performance change then DO NOT implement the change.
