Ford has detailed its stance on the ongoing Supercars engine parity situation. RepcoSC
The Blue Oval has been central to a parity push in the latter stages of development of the new Gen3 cars,The aero is thought to have been solved during last-minute VCAT testing at Temora Aerodrome last week,The status of the relative engine performance, however, has been less clear, with sources suggesting that changes to mapping could be made once the season is up and running and data from competitive sessions is available.
"Instead of two pushrod engines with the same displacement, they have different displacements and technology. You can always meet on a dyno… but how they perform in the car can be different. Rushbrook also clarified that there is no firm expectation that the Chevrolet unit will outperform the Ford motor this weekend thanks to some mapping changes that followed the all-in test at Sydney Motorsport Park a fortnight ago.
Rushbrook also thanked Supercars for its work on the aero re-test, which he feels was crucial for the aero parity.
