Supercars explains Mustang snub
The upcoming Bathurst 1000 race has had a turbulent build-up, as Ford teams arrived with parts to make a front aero change. However, Chevrolet and its teams strongly opposed the approval of these parts. Meetings were held between Ford, GM, and Supercars, resulting in a decision from Supercars not to approve the changes. Ford teams have criticized this decision, calling the current disparity “unacceptable,” but Supercars argues that the parity threshold has not been met. The current parity system requires the threshold to be reached in either five consecutive races or five of the last eight races. Due to Ford’s strong performance at The Bend SuperSprint, which included three of the last four races, the threshold has not been met.
