Of course, just as it relates to re-evaluating and upgrading the new car the cost overruns mean NASCAR isn’t in a real position to ask teams to spend even more money, so it’s easier to target parts you can just strip off or tack on.
I think anything to reduce the down force also is good too. They have a too much traction problem on their hands as I see it.
The reports from Down Under regarding the Australian Supercar’s performance characteristics were troubling.
Obviously many details to be figured out but I like the sounds of this.
I guess I'll side more with nascar on this. Like Larson himself said drivers just basically run into each other as hard as they can because they can get away with it. When designing a car it's not something you would be expecting.
We really need to see what it looks like under the nose skin after wreck like that. If hitting the wall at Daytona like that doesn't rupture the radiator, seems too stiff to me. Unfortunately the Newman wreck screwed up their expectations for how the car should survive. Always say they don't want to make decisions that might make something worse.
I wasn't pay much attention to the race and had sound muted. It's like watching the beltline. How many of the drivers were wearing the high dollar mouth guard that reads G-Force? Pretty interesting tech. Larson said gonna wear it in his dirt cars too to see how the forces compare.

Could be more testing and changes in the future...that's almost a given
