Still going to run in supercars until the end of 2025.

It'll be interesting to see how it goes from there.

Likely that some teams stay on with the Camaro for a year or two (it's already irrelevant, so what's the difference) ala the ZB/FGX.

I find it interesting that GM support their teams as Chevrolet Racing, not Camaro racing.

Lets hope they sign someone new & quick.. Ford has already said they don't want to race in a one make series, if they loss Ford as well, it's the end

Perhaps that may lead to us getting back a Touring Car champion! :D

Losing the category that chews up the vast majority of moneys available in motorsport isn't necessarily a bad thing... if that filters down to other existing categories I think it actually could be of a great benefit to Australian Motorsport

Yep, **** that! Aussie TCR are ****house.

It's no suprise, everyone knew, supercars included. What's next a V8 Marc car series?

How many Ford teams are referred to as having a connection with Mustang Performance comapred to Ford Performance?

This is a completely different car, parity might be an issue for Supercars...

The Camaro news is not new either. Should be right for another 4 years racing in Supercars.

Chevrolet is the brand. Camaro is the model.  It was never known as Commodore racing team.

Gen 3 Camaro only exists because Supercars knows there are still enough GM suckers to get behind it and pour money into the spectacle.
