That was my second thought on the Mustang, after the R8 reference.I gotta say, I like the bodies of the supposed leaked photograph. Looks like super late models!

Chassis. Five-Star makes the bodiesTechnique makes the bodies for Trans-Am as well, so I can see the similarities.
The 18's really do look good!I'm so happy with these 18" wheels. It's honestly a move that's 15 years overdue, but they finally did it.
You mean a Hamlin button?Has it been mentioned whether the new car will have a pit speed limiter?
He would probably forget to use it.You mean a Hamlin button?
Or have it wired up backwards.He would probably forget to use it.
Depends if he took his Adderall that day or notHe would probably forget to use it.
Anyone know if there is a rule against going to a f1 style jack that’s slid under the car and one or two pumps back the entire car up? I mean we have one bolt wheels...
and then change it mid raceTrust me, NASCAR will write a dozen page rule on the hydraulic jack that teams must use.
Yes.Anyone know if there is a rule against going to a f1 style jack that’s slid under the car and one or two pumps back the entire car up? I mean we have one bolt wheels...

Here's your sign, if they were going to air jacks, there would be pages and pages of the R-F experts opinions littered over almost every thread. Way more than a tire in the grass.Anyone know if there is a rule against going to a f1 style jack that’s slid under the car and one or two pumps back the entire car up?

While not feasible due to the weight of the car, I think @DanicaFreak is talking about the two jackmen in F1 (not indycar) that lift the front and rear off the ground with hand operated jacks.Here's your sign, if they were going to air jacks, there would be pages and pages of the R-F experts opinions littered over almost every thread.

Wordy host but the clip has a nascar designer talking about features of the car. I learned a lot that I had never heard before from Brandon the Nascar engineer
They could design jacks that would work ... It would be neat to see 4 tires, full fuel load in under 10 secsWhile not feasible due to the weight of the car, I think @DanicaFreak is talking about the two jackmen in F1 (not indycar) that lift the front and rear off the ground with hand operated jacks.
I thought being able to split the car apart in thirds was a mind blower. I wondered if the frame split there also.I find it interesting that they did debunk the carbon fiber monocoque tub that has been reported ad nauseum, instead confirming the steel tube frame still. I know they mentioned on DBC that the driver took a lot more of the impact energy from a crash in the next gen car due to the stiffness, so I wonder if this was a safety compromise to go back to steel tube in order to have some deformation and build some energy absorbing crumple zones in.
Teams aren't going to pay for another man over the wall.They could design jacks that would work ... It would be neat to see 4 tires, full fuel load in under 10 secs
Do you have a plan to get the fuel to flow faster?They could design jacks that would work ... It would be neat to see 4 tires, full fuel load in under 10 secs
That is what is funny to me watching an IMSA race. The car jacks fast, but you can have lunch before they pull off.Do you have a plan to get the fuel to flow faster?
why cant they invent a more powerful gas can....Do you have a plan to get the fuel to flow faster?
That’s a cool promotion.![]()
Pro Invitational Series race to feature Next Gen car, Jesse Iwuji, winner of fan vote
Get a glimpse of the Next Gen car as it is raced virtually in Wednesday night's Pro Invitational Series race from Darlington (8 p.m. ET, FS1).www.nascar.com
Hel yea! I may actually watch this, despite the cringey coverage from the Fox booth.
Based on that leaked photo, I think a lot of fans who aren’t paying attention to this car’s development every step of the way are going to be super underwhelmed. Every new generation of NASCAR stock car has had a radical design change and is very noticeable.

If that leaked photo is an accurate representation of the new design, I don’t think many fans will notice an obvious difference other than a new nose design from the manufactures.

They can't fuel the car with anyone touching it by rule.That is what is funny to me watching an IMSA race. The car jacks fast, but you can have lunch before they pull off.
