Is this another case of "quiet day at the office today, better make a story out of nothing" ? |

DJR Team Penske team principal Ryan Story said a relocation was "not something we're actively pursuing at the moment", but had been discussed. I was a little confused by the whole story & thread after reading that. Cars have been & will be sent O.S. Just at the end of their Supercars racing life, nothings changed there. |

You'd be amazed the type of advantage a team like Penske, with all the available resources has over everyone else. Everyone is kidding themselves if you don't think a mustang body on a COTF chassis wasn't over in the US in a Wind Tunnel before all the homologation tests.

Potential and probability might be the question to ask.

The Mustang would have had a tonne of CFD done on it, and then verified on track. But we have no idea what Ford Performance in the US did behind closed doors to verify CFD data. |

Clearly it's spent 3 solid years on a shaker rig and the last 12 months in a wind tunnel.....

It seems like there's now people at Ford that actually give a damn. We should make the most of it while it lasts.
All manufacturers go through the ebb and flow of varying levels of interest in motorsport. All largely depends on who's steering the ship at the time. Some CEOs and managerial types see motorsport as a large waste of time and money, because it doesn't always directly translate to profit on paper. The smart ones are able to tie it into all facets of the business, and leverage like crazy. They employ Simon McNamara-type people to build passion for the brand through motorsport, and to facilitate with marrying up drivers, sponsors and teams. |
