Loved the sound of the Ford. 2023 is too far away.

I'm sure there will be one floating around somewhere tomorrow but if you cancel after the race their monthly YouTube stream membership is like $5.

I take it it's not a coincidence that the NASCAR NextGen cars and the Gen3 Supercars share a lot of similarities?

That is blasphemy in the NASCAR forum. Huge shrieks! IT'S ALL BRAND NEW TECHNOLOGY! NOTHING ON THIS CAR WAS EVEN A THOUGHT BEFORE NOW!

Why drag that garbage down here? Too many people in the NASCAR forum telling you to shut up?

There’s a reason for that.

Goodness me.

It’s been interesting reading up on the struggles the series has had to trying to manage parity between the two models before locking in the Gen3 cars’ homologation. Ford have been quite publicly displeased with both aero performance and engine drivability in testing, including the VCAT (straight line) runs. Lots of politicking from Mark Rushbrook‘s side.

The start of the season is just over a month away, the weekend of March 10-12. It just came out yesterday that at a test late last month Ford and Chevy did a driver swap, including 3x champ Shane van Gisbergen getting into a Mustang, to try to see get a better understanding of where differences lie. Pretty unprecedented thing to do.

Ford still not satisfied with Supercars Gen3 parity

Ford continues to harbor concerns over the parity between the Mustang and Camaro Gen3 Supercars following the latest round of prototype testing.

I doubt anyone is trying to put a wing on the back of a Cup car again any time soon.
