Will the slippery Gen3 Supercars hit 300 km/h down Conrod Straight? RepcoSC
Hitting the magic 300 km/h mark down 'the chute' at Mount Panorama has thus far proven elusive for Supercars – at least in official terms.
The new cars are also lighter, although the final minimum weight is yet to be settled on, while the dramatic reduction in downforce means they are slipperier through the air. But given the increase in mechanical grip from the lower, wider chassis, and the fact the soft compound Dunlop will be used at Bathurst for the first time, he thinks the magic 300 is possible."But certainly the acceleration is better, and the car is slipperier in the air because it's short."The gearing will allow it, just. On a qualifying run, on a gripped up track if the weather is right, and all the stars align, we could do it.
