Tander’s Chevrolet sandbagging quip
The decision by the Supercars series to not approve an aero change for the Ford Mustang has sparked discussions about sandbagging in the paddock today. There have been conspiracy theories ranging from Chevrolet teams intentionally underperforming at previous races to avoid triggering parity concerns, to a secret agreement among Chevrolet teams to hide their speed during practice sessions. In practice, Chevrolets performed well with Erebus leading both sessions, but there were also strong performances from Fords. When asked about the Mustang’s competitiveness this weekend, Tander suggested that some cars of a certain brand are deliberately running heavy. Tander clarified that his team is focusing on their own performance and making their car as fast as possible.
