    As a huge fan of supercars sadly this category has lost a lot of its interest due to limited 2 make field, loss of the current Chev next year. Nothing is aussie anymore and the fighting and bickering over parity , repair costs etc is taking away the edge this category once had. We need to sit down and reinvent this category and go back to grass roots racing like TCR. Just my opinion.

      Yep, the moment an independent team couldn’t buy a falcon or commodore and modify it in to a race car and instead have to beg the category for racing entitlements and purchase bespoke tube frame chassis was the beginning of the end.

    This series in 2024 & moving forwards is ultimately a dead man walking, only nobody seems to realise it yet. Time to change to TCR or GT3, & gain some semblance of relevance looking into the future.

      ⁠@@vern7424 It’s definitely unique. Probably no other tintop racing series in the world that uses cars that are based on models that aren’t marketed or sold in that country. Might as well make a series for grey imports it would be just as relevant.

    The Camaro still looks better coming out of corners at speed. Mind you that could just be because the Shell cars are so crap these days. Mid field again or worse this year I'm thinking.

      I'm pretty sure that should the Mustangs - of any team - show any sort of on track, title winning form, V-8 supercars will, no doubt, find a way of hobbling them. Just as they've always done.

    Too bad I don't get to watch them race. I love watching that sexy black Camaro , way more oem looking than Nascar (cup or xfinity) or any class nhra camaro even a pro stock. I never see too many camaros representing. I miss the old Trans AM camaro VS stang so I love seeing it in this series and wish I could watch every race

    We are meant to be able to buy these cars that we race. I know you can buy a Mustang, but you can't buy a Camaro. Can special order it? And Look like American Nascar and we don't want that in australia

    • @brianellis2274
      @brianellis2274 7 місяців тому

      Can't speak for Mustang but according to Chev Australia boss the Camaro is 98% identical shape to road cars, including opening doors and headlights etc. which is nothing like Nascar.
      The concept of being able to buy the road going version of the cars that race in Supercars has gone by the wayside years ago.
