[VASC19R23R24] ITM Auckland SuperSprint Pukekohe Park Raceway NZ - 13-15 Sep

Supercars are packing their bags and heading over the pond for the annual New Zealand round at Pukekohe Park. A bit of a fan and driver favourite, drivers will once again be competing for the Jason Richards memorial trophy. Hard to pass up the two kiwi drivers within DJR Team Penske and fellow countryman SVG in the Red Bull HRT Commodore. Also a bit of a dark horse in Brad Jones Racing as these guys tend to go fairly well here and always competing with Jase's spirit alongside them.

Let's go racing, for JR!

Unless Scotty Mac, meets a nice sheep, gets struck by lightning, his Mustang gets stolen by marauding savages, he will most likely be on the top step of the podium on one of the days.

Interesting if they could get a Kiwi 1, 2 & 3 on both days.

Is it interesting that the only brand new Mustang built this year is the one smacking the field?

Great tribute by the people at BJR by doing up one of their cars in a similar paintscheme of their fallen comrade and namesake of this rounds trophy; Jason Richards.

So why didn't anyone else build a new 2019 chassis?

To quote Jimmy Stone, it rains so much at Pukekohe that if you put a tent peg in the ground, it'll grow.

Money?

Technically the chassis is the same, regardless of the panels on it. You should be able to take Scotty's Mustang and convert it to a FGX or a ZB.

Just for a bit of fun, perhaps they could swap Scotty and Fabs between the cars for a session. Yeah, Nah...

Wonder if they have been able to re-uniform the squad in the short timeframe?

The chassis design, as in the roll cage, is fixed under car of the future. Everything else can be unbolted (or spot welds unpicked) and changed as required. Old chassis are routinely stripped back to the bare spaceframe and rebuilt.

There is no advantage to having a new chassis, not like the old days where there was scope for developments and refinements with a new chassis build. Since the spaceframe design is fixed, it would be equivalent to strip and rebuild a well raced chassis with your latest running gear.

Apparently it was known for a while Mega were slow (or non) payers before WAU took them on/poached them.

So ostensibly WAU should have had a contingency plan in place.

No, they're not prone to cracking or tweaking at all...
