ZB is a brand new chassis shape, Ford’s FG/X had its origins back in 2013, as did the Nissan Altima.

It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that design and construction techniques have moved along in 5 or so years....

Can you actually design a test to measure CoG across multiple chassis?

There is a certain team principal that seems to be building a strong reputation for whinginging, instead of just getting on with the job...
you mean the guy in the first two pits, sounds like he is getting on with the job.

I would have suggested the guy in pits 3-5 but he is already known for whinging

Would changing the roof on the ford and nissan from steel to composite move ten kgs from high up to down low, thats massive in COG terms of the car
