Hold on, you mentioned a BUNCH of non Ford cars. Please leave....Don't know who will be driving / engineering the Camaro but if it is a competent team I expect that they will be faster than the Ford with the current specifications. Look at what Black dog was doing before PWC gave the second half of the season to Sin / Panoz.. Its gotten so bad Pro drivers in PWC are mocking it now.
Audi squeaked out the championship due to a last minute wreck. When Safronas and Auschenbach cant even hope to catch Gottsacker you know your BOP is laughable.
AMG this week only adds 10 kilos but gets power bump. I Expect it to walk the Porsche in the right hands. Audi and McLaren will be continue to be super fast on pace. If they dont shit themselves, they can win, but its a big if as they are all snake-bit this year.
The Ford will need a clean race, perfect strategy, and some luck to compete for a podium.
5 cars had race lap times in the 2:20s. 2 fords, both McLarens, and the Audi. So Ford was screwed because Kyle and Trent are fast drivers.
Qualifying is a better sense of outright pace, only two Fords cracked the top 10.
Its amazing the regularity in which the Ford is not the fastest car on the track, but has the heaviest BOP applied. The added weight over the last two races can also factor in reliability.
Its funny though, look at the volume of promo shots that feature the Ford. Its clearly a fan favorite. When the 60 took the lead at Mid Ohio the crowd went off. I love these races but I wont watch if they keep this up.
Mustang has always seemed to get the shaft in professional motorsports. It happened to the Boss 302R/302S, you saw it the first season of the GT350R-C (to help give Chevy their Z/28.R championship) and you’re seeing it now. I was so happy to see Billy Johnson and Scott Maxwell grab a season in the GT350R-C after trying so hard in the Boss 302R’s. Yeah, they were highly backed by Ford/Multimatic, but they deserved it and Mustang deserved it.
About the current media, I say thank KOHR and Nate Stacy. Ever since Rehagen went to KHOR and brought Nate back, their social media presence went up in volume and quality.
