But to be honest, I don't know if it was there.
I think it was probably that they did get a little bit of a leg up on the weekend, but they were definitely more competitive on the weekend.
So that was interesting.
I think, well, I'm sure if I was a Chevy driver, I'd probably be upset about that, but it is what it is.
Like, I think, I don't know where they ended up getting to with the, what did they actually do to the cars for the upgrade?
Back 50 mil and up 30 mil.
Yeah, and it's not just Chevy.
Like, 888 have to go in because we're the Ford homologation team.
So Pete and Dado have to go in and sort of not argue against it but see because I guess they're talking how they've got like a small box that they want to operate in of each car stays in that box.
It's called the parity box, yeah.
But I believe with some of the adjustments they were giving, the Chev was going to get outside of that like at a bit of an advantage.

Well, like you're saying, like, the aero balance is forward, so we have to actually put the mechanical balance or shift it to the rearwards.
yeah so we can follow because i couldn't follow anyone on the weekend well that was always the argument in 23 when the ford wasn't as good as a chevy they were always saying that they just were too pitch sensitive yeah and what that is for people listening at home is when we break we break it pitches the rear of the car up and as you turn in you lose the rear and and that's something we've been struggling with since we've switched to ford as well and something we had
know chevy and and that that you're always working on but um yeah that's that's the biggest thing with these cars right now is trying to flow the speed to the corner without losing the rear yeah um so that was interesting that they not interesting that they got the leg up i think we all knew it was going to come but it's i guess it's
