Morris has taken the step of shipping the team's new car to America for wind tunnel testing. The $200,000 AUD exercise has already reaped rewards.
“It was hugely beneficial, a lot more value than what you can learn by just driving a car around at a test track,” Morris said.
“There are a few small things that we'll get gains from straight away. We've looked at what we've got now and how we can make it better, and now we've got to go away and make the parts to make the improvements.
“At the moment it's all-hands-on-deck just trying to get the two cars finished in time for the test day and the first race.
“Those first three race meetings are really close together so to make any new stuff for the cars, you probably won't see that until the fourth round.”
Recent rumours were also confirmed by Morris that in-principle agreements had been formed for American NASCAR racer, Boris Said, and double BTCC champion Matt Neal to join the team for the endurance races at Phillip Island and Bathurst.
“I think Boris is even shelving one of his Sprint Cup races to come here and race Bathurst, he's so keen and Matt has raced at Bathurst with me before and has always wanted to come back again.”
Supercheap Auto Racing will participate in the teams test day on February 12, ahead of the opening round of the 2008 championship – the Clipasl 500 Adelaide – later in the month.
