There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Yep, the goal is to create aero packages that allow cars to pass rather than getting stuck behind another car. It also decreases the aero advantage of being the lead car. We've seen instances where a slower car inherits the lead due to cautions and pit stops, but better cars cannot catch the leader because they must contend with the aero forces created by surrounding cars.

Hey All,
I think you need to read the assessments of this package by the drivers and NASCAR. There are issues with it and it did not seem to work. What NASCAR wants is the slicing and dicing action of IndyCars on the big ovals and/or more pack racing slingshots. That way we will have more races with the "big one". I have no problem messing with rules packages but they have to find a more equitable way for teams to adjust. If you spent a bunch of money testing under "old" rules and another team tested under "new" rules seems unfair to me.

Seems like the impossible task to me.
Remember the days when one manufacturer got ahead? And then NASCAR would subsequently penalize that team by forcing them to remove a quarter inch here and there...
