Carbon just made the difference greater

This is what I was getting at. Thanks.

Certainly been interesting observing.


I can sort of understand the reaction based purely on a new body shape. The sport hasn't gone through that sort of introduction before.

However the sport is basically taking a swing at itself by saying the tests used aren't good enough.

What have we always said.

When you are on the losing side they never will be.

A great read:

Thanks Norm. That is a great article.

Interestingly it was Bruce Newtons article that originally suggested only DJR were tested and that mustang would be slowed.

It does seem inevitable now that mustang will be adjusted but I hope the ratio of 5:1 Is incorrect.

There was seemingly confidence inside the teams that any adjustment would be minor.

They could be staring at roof ballast of anywhere between 5kgs to 50kgs, the latter thinking back to fgx days considered significant when campaigning to get lighter panels to combat Zb

Reports of 30kg added to mustang?? And 6 kg for opel

Where's your numbers coming from? No article I have Found has mentioned any absolutes

30kg up in a 1395kg car is hardly moving the CofG more than a few millimeters surely?
