🗣️'When you have an accident, you don’t normally damage all of your wiring. You might damage a few sublooms and things like that.' Supercars squad Tickford Racing is facing a $100,000 repair of James Courtney's scorched Ford Mustang⬇️
While Percat's car was repaired on the Friday night, Tickford opted to park Courtney's car on Saturday due to the extent of the damage.
“Unfortunately fires are almost the worst type of accident because you can just replace a bar or you can weld up a new part or bolt on a new panel but fires just destroy everything and they just keep going and going.Complicating the rebuild is that spares are still in short supply for the new Gen3 cars.When asked if Tickford had the spares in stock for the job, Edwards said: “Shit no! Particularly the electrical stuff.
As for the ignition of the fires, it's thought the difference in the wiring to the daylight running lights for the Camaro compared to the Mustang could be the cause.Forensic work will now begin to determine the cause without doubt. Fires on the Fords came shortly after the starts, prompting a switch to a rolling start for Sunday's fourth race“That’s where you start to see a trend in some of the info we’re getting from the car. By the time they get to Turn 8, you can start to see it smouldering a little bit but it actually started on the grid. So obviously the rolling start was put in place to eliminate that particular issue.
