Rubbish, they are validating against knowns. Erebus and Volvo are not requiring changes.

How do they know that?

So just to clarify, the new changes are being tested against 2 known vehicles:

If deemed an improvement, the upgraded Altima will join the category’s latest round of homologation testing, which will also include the baseline Ford Falcon FG, the new Ford Falcon FG X and the Holden Commodore VF.

Like Nissan, Holden is also working on removing drag from its VF package as it strives to match the sleek set-up of Volvo’s S60, which features a significantly smaller frontal area than its key rivals.
The Volvo and the Mercedes-Benz will not be present at the January homologation test, which was made voluntary by V8 Supercars.

Sounds like Volvo stole a march on the whole field...

So Erebus' excuse could be that they can't afford it?

More like Volvo did there homework properly..... Seriously I'm sure Volvo have buckets of data from there car over in Europe that would have been used.

As for the Kelly's, they should step back and let someone who knows what they're doing set the aero. Those boys should focus on there driving and let others sort the car out. They have some knowledgeable people there, and they themselves have a lot of knowledge, but there comes a point you need to let go....

Or dont have access to the aero design specs of the car they are running to be able to suggest an adjustment.
