Supercars scramble continues

Supercars is still finalising crucial Gen3 specs less than two weeks before the season-opening Newcastle 500, as teams scramble to be ready amid uncertainty.

A last-minute mini-VCAT test started at Temora Airfield in southwest NSW on Monday to fine-tune engine and aero settings.

The straighline re-trials will continue this week to try to assuage parity concerns expressed by Ford.

The latest PARKED UP PLUS podcast outlines why teams are up in arms over 11th hour delays to locking in final specifications on the eve of the first event. Listen here:

Still to be finalised are the cars’ minimum weight and centre of gravity adjustments, as well as final aero trim.

In its 50th episode, Australia’s fastest growing motorsport podcast also hears from defending S5000 Gold Star champion Joey Mawson about his Supercars aspirations.

As well, PARKED UP PLUS has expert previews of Formula 1 and IndyCar, both starting this weekend.

Aussie Oscar Paistri is debuting with McLaren in F1, while Will Power is defending his IndyCar title as former Supercars star Scott McLaughlin also goes for glory.

All this and more in the latest PARKED UP PLUS, presented by multi-award winning journalist Mark Fogarty.
