I am in the market for a new car and I cannot make up my mind between two cars that compete directly against each other in the marketplace, the V8 engine rear wheel drive 2 door Ford Mustang sports car or the front wheel drive 4 cylinder 4 door Holden Commodore family sedan. I have seen them racing against each other and the performance seems quite similar? A major dilemma!

The kellys, couldn't engineer a winning Commodore when it won everything. Maybe the car was never the problem.
The serious problem is that Ford and Penske were allowed to bring in a car so far from the intention of the rules and so far from all that has gone before, that instead of the saviours of the series, it might just signal the death knell. Car should have been rejected at design stage. Dropped front end and custom parts made for aero benefit, wirh the roof line as a, convenient excuse that doesn't wash. Penske are ruthless everywhere they go and between them and Ford they had more resources to spend than the series had to ensure the car was in the spirit of the rules. |

DJRTP are simply doing a better job than the other teams. Just as 888 and HRT did, once upon a time. |

Umai pushes the "lobbying" narrative, which undermines Supercars. It's essentially saying "if you don't come begging, we won't do anything".... in a parity series... they regulate... |

Seamer denies the latest 'tweaks' to the Holden were done in secret, instead processes delayed official communication.

Those processes delayed communication throughout the whole weekend.
Not a single mention from anyone, not from commentators who knew or any team member. People were told to zip it, there's no other explanation for not discussing the latest updates in a controversial topic. |

The Commodores appear to have retained a distinct advantage in a straight line - so given we are three parity adjustments into the season is it time for number four? Time to add some drag to the Commodores to fix the parity problem.....

Can't say I can recall that sandgroper......I was waiting to hear from the commentary team about these latest tweaks, but nothing.
Very poor. |

The commentators are employed by Supercars. They will only toe the party line and give PR speak, not their personal opinions and certainly nothing controversial or detrimental to the public image of Supercars If only the broadcast was independent... |
