Don't believe every thing you read Pecky. The 21 is home in its roost not in Sydney.

The 'factories' supply some panels, and in some cases a part of their operating budget, but the V8 Supercars are not built on the productions lines in Adelaide, Broadmeadows, Japan or Germany...

Yep, just left or leaving. Hasn't had a wheel alignment or anything else. I wonder do they get the 20 lap shakedown another day?

If ever there was a case for overtime in V8supercars this would be one of them!

Nah, I'm pretty sure they forfeit the 20 lap shakedown if it turns a wheel in another form of testing.

Yeah I know just being a smart arse. It will not do many laps I reckon as it hasn't been run yet.

Didn't most get the a pre-build kit from Pace Innovations and then add to that?

Good point Sizzle, i had forgotten this is considered a test day whether you turn up or not

Does anyone know how many test days they get as part of the new COTF rules. I assume there are some extra ones at the start of the year. havent seen it written anywhere

There are extras pecky and I did get told but for the life of me can't remember. I think it may have been 5 in addition to the usual.

Had the pleasure of tagging along on a guided tour by Paul of Pace Innovations work shop in October last year.

Amazing workshop & I was blown away at how the cars start out life.

As well as a few other interesting cars, the completed DJR chassis was there that day awaiting delivery for panels and all the working bits to be bolted on.

Must be pretty slow going. Have been watching the live timing for the last 10 minutes and only seen 5 times pop up in the last lap column.
Rick Kelly going well. Mercs well back.

Oh well. I will go back to mowing the lawn I think. More to see.
