A\ufeff last-minute request from Ford<\/a> has enraged its rivals ahead of Bathurst 1000<\/a>, with team bosses set for a crucial meeting this week.<\/p>\n

According to Speedcafe reports, Ford is proposing a new front bar and rear wing to move the balance of aerodynamic pressure rearwards by adding rear downforce.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Ford's latest plea comes after a request for new door and rear quarter panels were already approved for use at Bathurst, with the new panels 5.84 kg lighter than the previous specifications.<\/p>\n

The request comes after Chevrolet drivers dominated the Sandown 500, with Ford fearing the results could be more lop-sided against them at Bathurst if changes aren't made.<\/p>\n

The parity review system is triggered by a performance analysis of the previous five races or of five of eight previous races.\ufeff<\/p>\n

General Motors teams are expected to oppose Ford's latest request, with Triple Eight boss Jamie Whincup<\/a> slamming Ford.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"The talk of doing aero updates for the next round is just outrageous," he told Castrol Motorsport News. "We've had enough."<\/p>\n

"We've given the Ford guys all year to develop, and they're as close as they have ever been right now."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
