Main changes are

~Symmetrical body that more closely resembles the production vehicles they're based on

~Independent rear suspension

~trans axle

~center lock wheels

~Sequential gear box

~Composite body

~18 inch aluminum wheels (changed from 15 inch steelies)









The most jarring change to me is the new wheels. Those old steelies with the square cut outs are iconic nascar wheels.

I like it, they need to do something to keep up.

Can keep it fair without keeping it stuck in the 80s

They should have at least one race where they actually run stock cars. Let the crew chiefs/mechanics go hog wild on modifying the engines (and, obviously, with all the safety bells and whistles).

In addition, a racing official announced the car's seats will now be covered in rich Corinthian leather.

For the longest time I’ve been saying they need to have an “all nascar” endurance event. - Host it @ Daytona (RC) as a kick off event before the Rolex 24. - You have teams Of 2-3 drivers, maybe a 6 or 8 hour endurance race pitting Truck Series, Xfinity Series cars, and Nascars as the top class. - something along the lines of a 50-60 car field (I believe Daytona’s pits can hold around 60 cars)

Make each class have an outline of general perimeters, but let it be a place for teams and manufacturers to test out all types of things and get innovative.

Can you not be a fig for even 5 seconds?

On topic, it will be interesting to see how fast pit stops get up to. Fueling will still take some time to get it all the way full with 2 cans.
