Why Erebus is the real thing in 2023

Upstart front-runner Erebus Motorsport now accepts that it is the team to beat in Supercars as powerhouse Triple Eight struggles for consistency.

After dominating the Tasmania SuperSprint, the celebrated ‘misfit’ squad’s drivers are one-two in the drivers’ title and Coca-Cola Racing tops the teams’ table.

In the latest PARKED UP PLUS podcast, Erebus team boss Barry Ryan and owner Betty Klimenko admit that the unconventional Chevrolet Camaro outfit is the main title contender in the new Gen3 era. Listen here:

Typically, Ryan also has pointed comments about the Ford teams’ continuing grizzles about engine parity.
 
And Klimenko, attending her first event of the year, also talks about the long and very expensive road to the top as Erebus Motorsport celebrates the 10th anniversary of her controversial entry into Supercars.
 
Countering Ryan’s dismissal of Mustang team complaints, Dick Johnson Racing chief David Noble outlines why the Ford teams are still not happy about engine parity.
 
Noble also declares that DJR, the Gen3 Mustang homologation team, hasn’t given up hope of turning around the teams’ fortunes.
 
PARKED UP PLUS also has the latest on Supercars’ proposed return to New Zealand following an inspection of the Taupo circuit, now the main candidate.
 
There’s also expert analysis of former Supercars champion Scott McLaughlin’s chances in the upcoming Indianapolis 500, the biggest motor race in the world.
 
All this and more in the latest PARKED UP PLUS podcast, where you hear the big news from the big names.
