Supercars set for post-season wind tunnel tests
The Sandown 500 weekend showcased the competitiveness between the Camaros and Mustangs in Supercars, with the Camaros proving to be the faster package. Despite fears of a complete domination by the Chevrolets, six Mustangs made it to the Top 10 Shootout. However, on race day, the top five positions were still occupied by Camaros, helped by the unfortunate incident involving two fast Fords early in the race. This incident has prompted Ford to push for a possible aero adjustment, focusing on the front bar to shift the Mustang’s aero balance to the rear. While this is being considered, plans for wind tunnel testing for both the Camaro and Mustang in the US are already in progress, signaling Supercars and its homologation teams’ focus on the future. The goal of wind tunnel testing is to achieve aero parity, a key factor in the control package implemented this season, putting equal importance on the aerodynamic performance of both car makes. Supercars has yet to comment on these plans.
