CoG back under Supercars parity lens

Centre of gravity changes could well form part of a package of Bathurst 1000 parity adjustments, after plans for such a tweak were developed before the Sandown 500.

Speedcafe understands that there was a move to introduce lighter door panels for the Ford Mustang Supercars ahead of the first enduro of the year, but that was ultimately deemed impractical given the short timeframes for implementation.

The initiative would follow a determination that the Mustangs had been running somewhat overweight, or were at least competing with suboptimal weight distribution, until the Sandown 500.

Notably, Supercars had announced a small increase to the minimum weight of the Gen3 vehicles to 1340kg, just over a week out from practice at the historic southeast Melbourne circuit.
