Yet that very thing happened to Scott McLaughlin and DJR Team Penske in 2019, even though technical parity per the letter of the regulations and seasoned VCAT aero test already had been established before the first round in Adelaide.

For some reason, the organisers eventually got so desperate that they added 40 kg extra downforce to the Commodores, after which McLaughlin's best efforts no longer had any chance and the Commodores duly swept up 7 out of 9 victories.
