DJR will never again get to their Penske heights, ajd now Tickford likely won't either.
But that's the rules, if the mustang becomes too fast then the parity trigger will be pulled for the camaro.

Of course, but 888 as on the money right away with their Camaro - and so were their customers.


As 888 were with the FG, VE, VF and ZB...

DJR were... in 888's FG and then Penske's Mustang.

It's got nothing to do with T8 being on the money straight away, supercars acknowledged that the mustang was at a disadvantage and have been working to rectify the disparity.

If 888 built cars you would have an argument.

But 888 are a better team and built a better car than DJR. It is a simple fact.

DJR's car is almost impossible to get in the window. It's overweight. They literally cannot decide even themselves what they want, first taking off rear downforce then putting the same downforce back on.

Face it, DJR are a rabble. Leaderless, lacking inspiration in management, engineering, and driving.

And they have all Ford teams hostage.

Supercars ultimately are the ones that decide what the downforce should be not DJR.........it's not as simple as you make it out to be.

On the face of it Fair points well made- speaking as a Ford man through and through
