SUPERCARS CEO Shane Howard has declared the category will continue running the Camaro until at least the end of 2025.
That comes in response to Chevrolet’s confirmation that it will cease production of the sixth-generation Camaro next January.
The Gen3 Camaro only made its competitive Supercars debut this month at the Newcastle 500, going head-to-head against Ford’s new seventh-generation Mustang.
Supercars had just replaced the outdated Commodore, Holden having announced its demise pre-COVID.
“While today’s General Motors news out of the US will have an impact on our racing product, we respect and acknowledge that change is sometimes inevitable,” Howard said.
“We will continue our strong partnership with GM into the future.
“GM has been an integral part of our heritage and has played a significant role in shaping Supercars to become what it is today, the greatest touring car category in the world.
“Ever since Bruce McPhee and Barry Mulholland famously won in a Holden Monaro at Bathurst in 1968, GM has helped shaped the careers of some of Australia’s and New Zealand’s greatest drivers, including Peter Brock, Mark Skaife, Craig Lowndes, Jamie Whincup and most recently Shane van Gisbergen.
“For fans, the Camaro will continue to proudly represent Chevrolet Racing in the Repco Supercars Championship until at least the end of 2025.”
Chevrolet is yet to name a successor to the sixth-generation Camaro.
