Supercars set the rules, Ford Performance built a car to the rules, then Supercars get in a twist just 2 rounds into a season!? What a farce! Talk about a joke. By all means set new rules for 2020 (rules that specify COG and specify drag and downforce requirements at a more comprehensive range of speeds and yaw angles), and then let every come back and rehomologate their cars for 2020 to those rules -- but to be changing rules 2 rounds into a season is a disgrace... |

So what was the alternative? Let the Mustangs dominate for the rest of the season, the results becomes predictable, crowd numbers fall, tv numbers fall and a shrinking sponsorship pool takes a further hit? Clearly the homologation process was a cock up again, (same thing happened last year with the composite panels issue..so much for cost containment), but the best thing to do is acknowledge there is an issue and act as quickly as possible to redress. |

There was no drop off in crowd numbers when 888 Commodores dominated for multiple seasons. There is no issue with Mustangs dominating for one season. That's hardly the "best thing" for Ford Performance to get the wins they deserve for doing the best job to the rules! Why should Ford fans be satisfied with that? |

Frosty on pole!
Jamie Whincup will start from last after causing a red flag in Q2, when he buried his car in the kitty litter at T4.. |

In your opinion, in the eyes of the powers that be, clearly not.
Clearly there was a problem with the process and Ford were able to get one over the homologation panel, much like Holden did last year with composite panels. Not the Ford teams fault for trying, but today's result seems to suggest that it wasn't as over the top as some would like to make out. |

Tekno “...happy with the car we’ve got at the moment”
Despite not having the latest 888 parts, and the data transfer from the mother ship not particularly useful... |

So the news article on the Sooperdooper site which had Frosty describing the situation at Tickford as "toxic" has magically been rewritten
No mention of toxic any longer. Still on foxsports though V8 Supercars Phillip Island 2019: Mark Winterbottom brands former team Tickford ‘toxic environment’ to work in Last edited by sizzle; 11 Apr 2019 at 02:43. |

I wonder if it is Webb or JLB who want out?
Can't imagine JLB is happy with an old spec car - especially if he is tipping in $$$ for the ride. |

At Phillip Island McLaughlin in the Mustang is only 0.2s faster than the Falcon from last year, while Whincup with the Linear Spring is 1.2s slower than last year. Kelly is around the same in the Altima.
