Ford is lobbying for a front aero change to its Supercars Mustang ahead of next month's Bathurst 1000.
Parity continues to be a talking point in the Supercars paddock despite aFriday practice at Sandown was ominous for the Blue Oval brigade, with eight Camaros in the top nine in practice 1, nine Camaros in the top 10 in practice 2, and a top-eight lock-out of Camaros in practice three.
There were more positive signs today during qualifying and the Top 10 Shootout, with Fords actually outnumbering Chevrolets by one in the dash for pole. The slight upswing for the Ford teams came after a tweak to the shift recovery, with the cut for first and second gears reduced from 50 milliseconds to 30 milliseconds.However that may not be the only change coming with Ford pushing for an aero tweak ahead of the next month's Bathurst 1000.
That doesn't necessarily rule out significant changes, though, with Ford understood to be already lobbying for a front aero update in a bid to further shift the aero balance rearwards.Rear tyre life and straight-line speed are thought to be the areas of biggest deficit between the Camaro and the Mustang.
