I'm convinced the cars have been engineered to sound a certain way as part of the desired image the team wants - to position themselves as the more upmarket, sophisticated, high end outfit against the more low tech (perceived) Holden and Ford teams.
From a performance point of view it just makes no sense for them to sound as they do, especially when compared to their GT cars which sound angrier and gruntier than any other V8 on any race track in Australia and also sound much more like their road going counter parts. Given the smaller capacity the V8 Supercar engine is not going to match the GT3 version, but for such a radical difference, there has to be another outcome (image, marketing etc) involved. |

I think,once again, that Mercedes and Erebus are getting confused by the spectators. Those perceptions you just voiced would probably set off alarm bells in the MB marketing lounge.

Its still a good effort, with Mr Holdsworth near the front in P3.. the team seems to have had some issues with throttle response, engine driveability, boiling fuel (?) and some apparent issues with straight line handling
The various news sites seem to think the team's engines run ok in cold weather.. is it cold at Pukekohe? Lets wait till Qualifying and see if they can patch a good result together. Here's hoping |

Cooler this morning than it was yesterday, so perhaps that's not the magic formula?

So is that just a mock-up for the ad, or will the Erebus cars feature Tap out livery on bonnets?

I reckon I saw Tapout across the bonnet of one of the V8utes at Clipsal.

Rather apt for Lee this week !
I wonder if his intruder would have "tapped out" if he'd caught him. Another energy drink sponsor, how many is that now 4? I hope it works out for all involved ! |
