Egg [VASC19R1R2] Superloop 500, Adelaide, 28Feb-3Mar

It is time.

For the field to show their pace, their real pace at a race meeting.

Time for the fantasists to show what they truly have.
Time for the realists who are always there or there abouts to figure out if they are +/- to last year’s competitive position.

All the talk is around the new Mustang, and how it is a world beater.
While linear springs will take some tuning to get tyres to live over a race distance with any sort of car speed.

New cars for some too, new chassis, new sponsors.

There will be flashes of brilliance from some in the field.
While those who are usually there or there abouts keep on collecting the bulk of the silverware.

After months of waiting... it’s on!
The fastest blokes & blokettes in the country in those cars will come to drive the streets of Adelaide.

It’s time.
To see who’s really done their homework across the summer...

Sunday tickets appear nearly sold out.

Believed to be due to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers effect.

Not necessarily luddites, maybe just opposed to News Ltd and don't want to help fill their coffers.

Noted Speedcafe have a poll on whether the Mustang will win on debut. Kind enough to include an 'Unsure' option for those unable to commit to a yes / no answer

The Stangs look fast, but will they be reliable or eat tyres?

Yep they look terrible. All out of proportion. Waistline too low, glasshouse to high, rear wing looks ridiculous. It looked even worse when it was parked right next to the road car, and you could truely see what a hack job they've made of it.

Probably right and probably the official version, but the version I heard was much more hilarious.

I thought it was clever of Ford to have the Nascar between the Supercar and road car for the laps. The Nascar silhouette helped to distract you from the terrible job they've done on the Supercar.

Surely not a coincidence.

Driving to work today I saw two Mustangs and I cannot reconcile the appearance of the road car to the Supercar.

I was hoping that it would appear different at speed but the Future Racer silhouette cannot be unseen.

It's absolutely cringeworthy how hard eveyone is stroking themselves over the new Mustang, doing doco's about how it went from the drawing board to the track, how great it looks (!!), the racing history in Australia, saying the new one carries on the legend of Moffart / Geogehan / Johnson etc. Those guys must be cringing having their names mentioned in the same show as this new abortion.
