That's an out of date presumption as according to a report in our todays paper the sh#t fight is heading to mediation to try and come up with a resolution to allow the Bathurst race to go ahead on Nov 7.

The promotor of Bathurst Challenge, Greg Evans, holds a contract for both weekends.  Seems he initially agreed to $100k compensation but then refused.

Government intervention now has all parties back to the table.

That might explain why but it doesn't change the fact that the Camaro is basically a dead duck with those sales figures and it will be shot well before 2026.

Well that didn't take long

Supercars yet to be on the track Camaro will be shot in 2024 so it will have 3 years racing as a current production.

Mate, I know what you are trying to say but you're still confusing your point

""They showed this closeup of Davison's tank on the footage. Supercars has clearly placed their calibrated mark slightly lower than the 140 on the sight glass, so surely that means any bulge is taken into account, whether slight or significant:"

No it does not as you are saying that Supercars have put DJR's marker slightly lower to take into account a bulge when they don't have one so it has nothing to do with a possible bulge. Bulges are 888's forte'.   That is DJR's 1lt safety margin.  What they actually decided to put in at his last stop is irrelevant.

Mate, you are getting confused. 

"They showed this closeup of Davison's tank on the footage. Supercars has clearly placed their calibrated mark slightly lower than the 140 on the sight glass, so surely that means any bulge is taken into account, whether slight or significant:"

There is no bulge in DJR's tanks and Davisons marker position has nothing to do with taking into account any bulges like 888's.

DJR had the tank marker moved to now be at 141 litres so they now have a 1 litre safety margin to avoid short filling Davo again. Nothing whatsoever to do with bulges as you inferred above.  I seem to recall Larko even showed this adjustment and made mention of DJR now not taking anymore chances. 

DJR amended the markers position to make sure they don't screw up again like they did on Day 1 when Davison was accidently short filled against the previous markers position and he gave up a potential podium to get 1 freaking litre put in his tank.

"It's exactly the same," said Burgess.

"It hasn't changed from this year to last year. Dimensionally, the one we calibrated has been exactly the same for three years.

"We checked it at Bathurst and we've checked the measurements on it this weekend. It's the same."

So the tanks have been bloated for 3 years otherwise any dimension measurements could not be the same. I guess there is a formula to dimensionally measure a bloated tank but surely he meant to say volumetrically.

"Burgess said Supercars might "tighten up" its process for the next event to ensure teams are confident each tank is identical."

Why, if they are apparently ok ?

The process is 888 need to obtain new tanks to ensure the process is the same.

As Larko says the "facts are the facts it would be an advantage....."
