Car owner Dale Paddle of Cavalier Homes has advertised the Gen3 machine online<\/a> after Supercars knocked back the team\u2019s wildcard application this year.<\/p>\n

The listing is a call-out to the collector market, emphasising the car\u2019s pedigree as Broc Feeney\u2019s Red Bull Ampol Racing entry during the 2023 season.<\/p>\n

MCM boss Amin Chahda told Speedcafe the Camaro is in race ready condition having been prepared for this year\u2019s endurance campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Dale] decided he wanted to sell it,\u201d Chahda said.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, we didn\u2019t use it this year and it\u2019s a lot of money sitting around doing nothing, so might as well sell it and put the money back in his account.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been serviced and prepped and ready to go because we were contemplating doing the wildcard this year, but it just didn\u2019t happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chahda had hoped to field son Matt in the 2025 Bathurst 1000, confirming he had Trans Am racer Elliot Barbour lined up to co-drive.<\/p>\n

Supercars, however, knocked back the application, citing a missed entry deadline.<\/p>\n

Chahda said he holds no grudges and is working towards being back on the Endurance Cup grid next year with a different car.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel they should have discussed it with me a little bit more, but I\u2019m a big believer in that things happen for a reason,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m upset for Matt more than anything, but we\u2019ll be back next year. I\u2019m too invested in the sport and I love it too much.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re banking on doing a couple of wildcards next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

MCM has been absent from the Super2 Series this year and will sit out the remainder of the campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019ll be the first time in 12 years we haven\u2019t been to Bathurst,\u201d said Albury-based Chahda.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be very weird, but at the same time it\u2019d be weird to go up there being in pit lane with nothing happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

The MCM Camaro is chassis 888A-057 and was steered by Feeney to five race wins during the 2023 season including the Sandown 500, where it was co-driven by Jamie Whincup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The MCM wildcard at Bathurst in 2024.
