If they were running Mustangs, their results wouldn't improve. 888 have battled plenty of dramas this year completely unrelated to parity. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk |

I like how Roland cant regularly beat other Holdens consistently like in the past but knows that the Commodore is lacking in areas compared to the Mustang. Wonder how he has enough information on the Ford to be able to lodge a successful bid for yet another parity adjustment?

Why is nobody talking about the timing of this Parity adjustment? Fancy that, its Just before Bathurst.

There is no doubt there are a bunch of guys who would leap up the field just like Lee & Will did this year if they were in Mustangs. Plenty of guys better than those two and the equal of Cam & Fabian. SVG and Jamie would belt all 4 of them in an equal car. |

How much was Roland spending per year, prior to him mysteriously slashing costs this year? Up until this year, they've had the best cars for yonks. The fact they no longer do is due to whatever is currently up with 888. |

Erebus can regularly go toe toe or beat 888 on a poofteenth of the 888 budget. The rest of the ZB runners get smacked week in week out by those 2. I doubt a Mustang would move those guys up. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk |

The plot thickens, Crompton and Kelly resign from Supercars commission and Burgess changing aero without approval of the board.

I reckon if he was up for it, a pragmatist like Ross Stone would be awesome for a Commission position..

So is the recent parity adjustment actually one of the reasons Kelly and Crompo resigned. Or are Speedcafe assuming, based on who they are and the timing?

Well the Kelly family has their fingers in a lot of pies so dare say the resignation is to get something off Mr. T. Kelly's plate. Same with Crompton with his media commitments and wanting to spend more time with family

CAMS' time as a promotor to F4 has shown they have not got what it takes.

Todds decision may be more in line by the Instagram Rick released last week about changes to the Commodores. |

He's got a wife (second marriage) and two daughters. One that's an adult and another one aged about 10 if memory serves. He's a very private man.

Understandable, given how savage social media can be.

I think we should all let them get on with it and let our opinions heard in the right places

In this context, the DJRTP 2019 budget to run two winning vehicles seems perfectly reasonable and is entirely consistent with precedent. IIRC, a budget cap of $7m per two cars was proposed for the 2008 season, known then as the Total Racing Expenditure Cap (TREC), but this regulation was rejected. and never implemented. In 2019 dollars, this would be a cap of $8.4m per two cars per season. All a TREC would do, would be to make it attractive to run four cars, with two unloved "Krates", and the remainder of the Krate's $8.4m barrelled into development onto the lead two cars. ????? |
