How can any ford team be ready to test when nothing has been signed of yet. So why would there be parts available if there could be changes needed and sign off has been completed??
Obviously the Camero has been signed of but how can one team be ready to test and the others aren't even close. there is always going to be conspiracies sarounding one team in T8, but siriously Supercars have a lot to answer for in this whole process. NASCAR were able to produce enough parts for each team and that is more than double what supercars have. They are very much behind the times down here, and its on show to the world of how incappable they really are. Quote:

Revised shakedown date: Friday 10th March, 2022.
If the teams don’t make the session, $150,000 fines agogo… |

How about this gem from Ryan Walkinshaw -
"It would be nice to think we could turn the key and start her up soon, though we are still waiting on an ECU and the fuel specification and supplier." |

Always striked me as odd that you would have the 2 biggest teams involved with the prototypes while trying to achieve more "parity" across the field with the new car. Surprised that it hasn't been discussed more in the public domain. Of course i might be barking up the wrong tree. |

The test of Gen 3, what a debacle.
Sounds like a Race Against Time. ! |

Is the BRT Winton shakedown on today?
Here’s hoping it is, and the team shows off what can be done to solve a problem if you have the right people attacking it. Also hoping it makes the news, and gives the Cooldrive brand some well earned sugar. Time to see Mr Hazelwood go out amd set a track record! |

I would be surprised if they weren't there, they've pretty much committed.

A perfect marketing opportunity..
And shows off a small committed team oblivious to the games in the background with teams, motor manufacturers and parts suppliers. Hope the livery is fully refreshed also.. |

So what is the removable panel on the roof above the driver, part of the hitherto secret ejector seat?

Looks good, however that's no surprise with the replacement of the rear wing..

Mark Rushbrook, Director of Ford Performance:
Quote:
https://www.speedcafe.com/2023/02/04...en3-supercars/ Supercars have presided over quite the farce, when a global professional high-level motor company racing division are unhappy with their practices. Why not give Ford Performance what they want, given they are the only manufacturer in the series, then bring up the other car until it is close or just below (and not vice versa)? Does the 888 Chevrolet Racing faction have undue and unreasonable political power?! |

For sure, the Gen3 process looks like it is coming right down to the wire and also there are issues with parts supply from what I hear and it'll be tight time-wise and spares-wise to begin with (not that unusual for new race machines to be honest). We'll only know if it has worked (or not) once the cars are on track actually competing against each other. |

Rushbrook shouldn't have to politic this hard for a domestic touring car championship where Ford are the only involved manufacturer. It's silly, right? Ford should be the VIPs with a red carpet, no? They are the only manufacturer in the series after all... |
