GARRY Rogers Motorsport will return to its General Motors roots by switching to Chevrolet Camaros for the 2026 Trans Am season.
The Mustang has been the dominant force in Australian Trans Am – in fact, in more than 100 races since the category’s debut six years ago, a Camaro has never tasted victory. The only non-Ford to do so has been the old Dodge Challenger of Nathan Herne.
GRM itself has exclusively raced Fords in Trans Am until now, but the Victorian squad’s proud history with the General dates all the way back to late founder Garry Rogers’ Holden efforts in the 1960s.
GRM conquered both the Bathurst 1000 and Bathurst 24 Hour in Holdens, too.
“One of the main reasons behind the switch was due to the sheer number of Mustangs in the series,” said director Barry Rogers.
“We thought that with the supposed domination of those cars it would be good for the series, and as a challenge for the team, to get some more Camaro’s into the field and get them running up the front.
“With Dad (Garry), we spoke on it around June last year and that’s when we ordered the cars.
“He was always a GM man at heart, so this is something he was really excited to see happen and I’m really proud to taking GRM back in that direction this year.”
GRM is yet to announce its 2026 driver line-up but is expected to field four cars in Trans Am, all of which will be Camaros.
Nathan Herne is also trading Mustang for Camaro this year.
