P3 saw the first 24 cars covered by a second. And then Smith.
That can only be encouraging. Of course its only practice but a few looked to be skittish and ragged enough to look like they were trying. No severely damaged cars at this stage.... nothing more than a bruised front bumper for Brown and a few missing their rear view mirror glassware. It bodes well for a bid of excitement for us watching them trying the make the shootout in qualy tomorrow.   Have to say the cars look good though.

The Gen 3 cars certainly look different with the squashed roof lines giving them that squat, brutish appearance reminiscent of the old Transam cars and they certainly handle differently by the looks of things having lost all that aero and some of the trick devices. Very early days I know but so far despite all the recent bickering and endless debates as to who has the advantage, the times are very close between Ford and GM although I guess Newcastle is hardly representative of things to come.

Worth looking into.
I don't know the technical specifications, but maybe Supercars got this call wrong on Friday https://www.speedcafe.com/2023/03/10...at-protection/ |

Seems like it's going to be another 'easy' year for SVG. Wonder if DJR is going to raise its game but sadly, I feel this is beginning of the end of this team in the sharp end of the grid. Assume they'll play second fiddle to WAU and Tickford as far as Fords are concerned and with Mustangs seemingly slower than Chevs that might mean a tough battle to get regular Top 10 finishes.

It was a bizarre podium presentation at Newcastle, Mr VanGisbergen seemed to be dragging his feet getting to the presentation?

Mr Feeney, did not seem impressed yesterday when SVG pushed past him in the first part of the race.

Why are other drivers so scared to defend against SvG?
