Nonsense. It's the gold standard of aero parity in the Supercars series and works well.

Making unfounded allegations like that is not how you go motor racing. Especially since the allegations are patently untrue as the season-start airfield test confirmed aero parity precisely in line with Supercars requirements for aero parity.

The best thing 888 could do is be quiet and humble, and get on with the job of designing a revised aero ZB Commodore for 2020 that hits the parity downforce and drag numbers at 200 km/hr of the airfield test, while enabling whatever other aero performance changes they want.

Making changes without confirming that aero parity still exists (which is defined as equivalent downforce and drag at 200 km/hr) by the gold standard Supercars airfield test is what the farce is.

Making changes willy nilly without verifying parity remains by an airfield test is the farce.
