I think when they get their set-up right they can hold on over race distance.

Agree.

The car is capable of holding on, it's the drivers and teams that can't get it to hold on consistently now Scotty has gone.
Also helps getting several parity changes in your favour.

ADP had 4 fresher tyres at the end of race 18 and still couldn't rundown Chas with shagged  tyres.

Cars are closer then they've ever been. Raising minimum tyre pressures made chasing harder, drivers complained all weekend that after a couple of laps tucked in behind someone the front tyres were basically useless.

The last 10 races have seen 5 Ford wins & 5 Holden wins.. How the **** are we still taking parity???
Because the Ford guys only accept parity when they will all the races
And how the reds were howling about parity in 2019. Careful throwing those stones you might hit the glass.

I'll shuffle the goal posts once more.
And what was the start of this year? Just as you warn us for throwing stones, your glass is well and truly broken too.

...swings and round abouts.

So should we keep asking each other rhetorical questions or actually have a conversation. Your posts fall on the former for the past 2-3 years...

And yet, here you are. 🙄  You red boys are just as bad, don't  see you calling them out. If you don't want sand in your knickers, stay out of the sandpit.

Yep, here I am, trying to avoid the useless discussion. You're welcome to come play if you'd like... but I guess we're in for another 2-3 years🙄.

I dunno, seeing the lack of critical thinking skills from Albert is pretty entertaining.

And yet again you involved yourself in a useless discussion.

Less quote, quote, quoting previous posts when bickering would improve things.

bicker: intransitive verb To ingage in petulant, peevish or petty quarrelling also Albert M

The original post in this thread started by Dasha was a reasonable topic and was going well with some reasoned argument. It could get back there...

Agree.

The car is capable of holding on, it's the drivers and teams that can't get it to hold on consistently now Scotty has gone.
Also helps getting several parity changes in your favour.

ADP had 4 fresher tyres at the end of race 18 and still couldn't rundown Chas with shagged  tyres.
And that says everything you need to know about ADP & nothing about the cars! If Giz was in a Mustang with 4 green tyres & Chaz was in front with 2 older ones, that would have been one more win for Ford!

I like ADP, but his a pussy when it comes to overtaking.. Just like Frosty is a pussy when it comes to overtaking (and you all know what a fan of Frosty I am), that doesn't mean they aren't great drivers & doesn't mean they can't win championships & Bathurst!

Chaz is no SVG to out run ADP either.  I got lectured how it was strategy and fresh tyres that allowed SVG to be 1 second a lap faster at EC. And yet that same strategy didn't work for a Mustang over ZB.
