Ford lobbying for Bathurst aero change
Despite the promising performance of the Mustangs at The Bend, parity remains a topic of discussion in the Supercars paddock. In the practice sessions at Sandown, the Camaros dominated, with a majority of the top positions. One Ford team highlighted a deficit according to the parity review system, suggesting a challenging weekend for the Mustang drivers. However, there were some positive signs during qualifying, with Fords outnumbering Chevrolets in the dash for pole. Ultimately, the front row was still dominated by Camaros. Ford is pushing for an aero tweak and has already introduced a new rear aero set-up earlier this year. Rear tyre life and straight-line speed are areas of concern for the Mustang, and the proposed updated aero could address these issues. Both Dick Johnson Racing and Tickford Racing have trialled new aero components, including a new front bar, and further testing is planned before the Bathurst 1000.
