The category tweaked the Camaro\u2019s aerodynamic package ahead of Christchurch<\/a> in a bid to shift its aerodynamic balance rearward.<\/p>\nThose Christchurch changes consisted of a reduction in front splitter leading edge, movement of the rear wing position rearward\/upwards and a reduction of the rear wing angle.<\/p>\n
General Motors and homologation squad Team 18 were ultimately unhappy with those changes, believing they did not provide the desired impact.<\/p>\n
Supercars and Team 18 recently undertook a follow-up track test at Queensland Raceway as part of further investigations into the Camaro.<\/p>\n
The category\u2019s motorsport boss Tim Edwards sent a note to the Commission today confirming revisions ahead of Symmons Plains.<\/p>\n
\u201cPost the change that was made to the Chevrolet Camaro at Christchurch, Supercars have undertaken further analysis which has determined a small change is required to further optimise this,\u201d it read.<\/p>\n
The front splitter will be moved forward to its original pre-Christchurch position, a small packer installed along the wheel band of the front facia and the rear wing angle increased by 0.4 degree.<\/p>\n
\u201cConsultation has taken place with the three homologation teams and the change will be implemented for the Tasmania round,\u201d Edwards added.<\/p>\n
\u201cFurther to this Supercars will continue to investigate small adjustments to the Camaro that would allow us to significantly reduce the size of the Balance Parity box.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Christchurch changes came after the track performance of the Camaros triggered a review under the new-for-2026 parity system.<\/p>\n
Supercars retains the right as part of that process to revisit and revise any changes within two rounds of their implementation.<\/p>\n
The category had earlier declared it had achieved aerodynamic parity between the three models during a December trip to the Windshear wind tunnel in the United States.<\/p>\n
