Ventured out to Winton yesterday and noticed the FPR cars have some different looking front guards to the rest of the field of FORDS.Is this allowed in V8 supercars? or am i seeing something i shouldn't be seeing.

The teams all pump there own guards so as long as they're within spec the shape can vary.
I remember a few years ago Larko argueing that they should be able to use fibreglass guards so they didn't have to waste so much money modifying the standard ones. |

Here is a better angle of Ambrose's old SBR Falcon. You can see the guards are quite pumped out as well.

between the two first pics, on is stationary and has normal wheel to guard clearance, and the other is driving with load on that side, so it makes it look alot different
