yeah... I know exactly what you mean... with the extended coverage there's quite a good coverage of every situation on f'tel.

 

hopefully it's not just a RBR led boring race this arvo and Scotty gets some race pace and challenges :)

RBR's going to be pretty much untouchable as far as I can tell.

 

Pretty much them then the rest of the field

I wonder if there's any truth to this smaller :pooh:'dore having given them a center-of-gravity advantage due to using lower positioned "ballast" to bring the mass of the car up to the category minimum after the "homologation" process brought in a bunch of new lightweight composite panels...

Yep location of ballast is a bonus factor to those who have it.

Remove weight from places you don't want it and put it exactly where it benefits you best.

Just funny how triple 8 was the one's in charge of the development of this little free kick bonus.

Now ford and nissan have to go to supercars and ask for the same allowances.

 

My biggest bullsh¡t thing that's bugging me is how does Paul Dumbrell get to race in a Rookie/ Development series like the super2's. He's been a full blown V8 supercars driver.

Not truly a feeder series if dinosaurs can go back and win such Championships.

yeah... I know there's heaps of talk about this "ballast" stuff, but I just wonder how much truth there is to it and how much it actually affects the category. Probably a lot of forever-unknowns there, haha

 

I think Paul Dumbrell has just sat in the feeder series forever because he knows he's good enough to beat everybody, but not good enough to beat the main-game drivers. :stirthepot:
