Ford has conceded defeat in the battle to have parity changes made for the Bathurst 1000.\n
There was a bitter standoff over proposed aero changes as of Wednesday evening in Bathurst, with Ford continuing to lobby for changes to the front bar of the Mustang. That was despite clear indications that the changes were unlikely to be approved, given they fell outside of an official parity review. That meant it required cooperation from the Chevrolet teams, who were never likely to help green light aero changes on the eve of the biggest race of the year.
Despite the best efforts of Ford, homologation team Dick Johnson Racing and engine supplier Herrod Performance Engines to work with all stakeholders to ensure a level playing field, a lack of movement by the series organiser has restricted our ability to compete on an equal footing. 'Ford has long been requesting data transparency to assist in understanding the disparity that exists between the two cars. Unfortunately, this has been rejected on multiple occasions.
