How much did the Tickford silencers weigh? I'm positive if Ludo was still at 888, the Red Bull cars would be sporting heavy weight silencers. No doubt all other 22 cars will have new mufflers at round 3.
Fitting an already broken splitter to car 97 in quali, 'catastrophic' engine failure and 88 outpaced by WAU and BJR. Not very 888 like. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk |

Chaz' drive would seem to say it isn't really a problem... Now this: https://www.speedcafe.com/2019/03/16...-gravity-test/ Supercars to conduct a CoG test. Was this not an accusation levelled at the Volvo too? |

Now testing COG? They already have this data no? Surely a thorough homologation process (as Supercars do) would have already given them that data?

So not an areo parity issue, but a light weight body issue.
The ballast silencer is just nothing short of brilliant. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk |

The irony of Holden complaining about COG and ballast...

Exceed track limits at turn 12 - potential penalty.
Make a pass completely off the circuit - no penalty. |

Hmm... Testing the COG of the cars seems an unreasonable precedent given there is no minimum centre of gravity rule, and therefore no reason to check COG and therefore that COG is a parameter that teams are allowed to optimise and develop. Strange. |

Not sure how that happened...
Mr Waters was the car behind... No clean sweep this year for Mr McLaughlin |

Not a precedent in any way - checking & measurement of cars across a variety of areas has happened many, many times in the past and that data been used to determine need (or not) for rule changes / additions. It's called professional technical management - F1 have done similar things too, as have a vast number of racing series world wide. |

Bizarre warm up lap.
Wheels falling off at 888.... Horrible weekend for SVG. Can't take a trick. Then 88 napping at the restart. Great to see Mozzie back on the top step. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk |

Wags suggestion Cam Waters thought it was a cars and coffee and had to do the Mustang thing....
https://www.supercars.com/news/champ...1hNO1iQ3K5J2eY Waters "won't take all of the blame" Sorry mate but when you can see the car in front, you take the blame. |
