Ford certainly appears to have gotten on top of the Mustangs in the NASCAR series now, winning the last 4 races or so
The GT3 based GTD is a very bold statement of intent. As with F1. They are lining up the ducks for an all-out assault on major motorsport categories around the world.
Australia is a very small market. This may have bought Supercars some time to fix things with the G3 Mustang but I imagine by now the relationship with Supercars is being tested. Seeing good drivers and potential even teams leave the Blue Oval end of the year has a knock-on effect and any opportunity to win the driver, team, or manufacture Champion in 2023 is all but gone.
Yet, the head of Supercars seems to think all the difficulties have all been worth the cost, and sighting fan engagement is up. Maybe a larger majority of supporters actually prefer the Camaro to be dominating and the sport is commercially more desirable this way. That would be a very bitter pill to swallow if it was supported by data.
