After only a hand full of races,parity test on the centre of gravity of the Mustang have been called for.Last year the ZB dominated for so long,winning with the same formula before anyone listened to the other teams..Craig Lowndes stated recently that the zb was designed around the twin spring..add that factor along with composite panels and aero which accompanies being a hatch the ZB advantage was clear...yet there was no call at all for a COG or Aero test..in fact the ZB was not asked to change what so ever..a token effort allowing Nissan and Falcon a few composite panels was given but did nothing to end the ZB' clear advantage...which brings us to SuperCars action, intense and very quick action this year...with unfair in season Mustang changes to slow a car down which was all signed of on..why?

1 why has this happened so quickly this year and was not done at all last year..

2 who instigated this test..

3 make public all in house meetings and doings from Supercars parity meetings and complaints from 2018 to 2019 so we can see what is what

4 make public all of relevant parity information on the cars so we the supporters can see for ourselves the rules/parity/build specs on the brand's we love...

5 all future parity issues to be publicly shown and discussed,from who's instigating them,why and outcomes...

6 a Parity rules must not be implemented during a teams season..any team..unless of course they have broken the rules..

7 how do you scientifically justify wing and undercarriage changes without setting the standards through actually physically testing the cars...who's to say what you've just done won't make the car slower and less competitive than the others...

We are approaching one thousand signatures and need a final push to force the board to address these parity concerns. Text this link to three people who follow the sport and demand they sign today. Email your local motorsports representative and tell them the fans are tired of these secret rule changes.

The silence from the Supercars board on these parity questions is unacceptable. Post this petition to Facebook and email your local motorsport representative to demand the transparency we deserve.

Why is progress being limited. Ford designed and built the Mustang to comply with current Supercar regulations. Since then The Mustang has proved competitive and after every event more and more limitations, restrictions and alterations are being forced on the Ford teams.

This series has become a farce by changing the goal posts mid season . Even Peter Brock welcomed the rivalry from Dick Johnson in the 1980's. A one sided race full of Opel 's will kill off the series. Typical knee jerk reaction by 888.

Supercars are gonna loose not only manufactures over this but also it’s fans. Ford was told to build better cars by Roland Dane last year when e ZB was dominating, and so Ford did, and now they’re being penalised for that. I hope to stop this stupidity.

It is in supercars best interests to be loyal to the fan base if they wish the series to be successful. At the moment, it appears to be showing bias to one side, and the fans are reacting to it. Listen to them, or you create your own peril.

I think it's ridiculous that cars must comply with the slowest cars in the field, why bother engineering a fast car built to race spec when other cars will only be slowed down to match the slow cars, it's the dumbest thing to ever happen to supercars

How can it be ethical and fair that all agreed and signed off on the Mustang OK to compete in 2019 V8Supercar racing that T8s Management get V8 Supercars to change rhe rules.It was no issue last year2018 when T8 won 8 rounds in a row they clearly had the advantage of CoG

Absolute disgraceful behaviour and just sore loosers driving Opels

I agree we need some form of parity however perhaps more so in the supercars management and administration than the actual cars themselves.
