The next outing for the prototype Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang will come at Winton during what is the designated pre-season test for the Victorian teams on February 22/23.
That means the new cars will be sharing the track with existing hardware from the seven teams that will take part in the test.
Garth Tander (Camaro) and Tony D’Alberto (Mustang) are set to drive the prototypes.
While live timing from pre-season testing is usually publicly visible, Supercars has confirmed to Motorsport.com that the Gen3 prototypes won’t be running timing transponders.
That will avoid a direct, publicly available lap speed comparison between the new and current cars.
It’s expected the new cars will be slightly slower than their predecessors based on the significant drop in aero. Peak power will also be down with the new production-based motors, although driver feedback so far has indicated a boost in torque.
