I hope there is a stream to watch this Saturday. These are the live times somewhere?

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.

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.
