Shouldn't it read "Plastic Camaro body to join Supercars grid in 2022" !

So it'll now be Ford USA V GM USA rather than Oz Ford V Oz GM. Will it mean that the rest of the world will be able to enter the field as there are now no Oz cars.

Umm, has been Nissan, Volvo and a few others over time.

I'm surprised at this because I was convinced Camaro's were going to be withdrawn from production after the current model.

They should field the mid engine corvette.

That would be different but I suspect a plastic version of the body would not fit over the std. supercar front engine chassis & running gear?

They have always been able to join as long as it’s a V8 NA 5 litre, Mercedes, Nissan & Volvo for example.

takes a long time to make a plastic pig fit an existing chassis.

LOL, they possibly should have spent more time on the Mustang!

The gen 3 chassis are smaller. Some things carry over, others do not.
Supercars use the term "manufacturer model silhouettes" to describe the smashy bits.
plastic piglets then fancy words which translate to plastic bits.

It most probably is. I guess GM are in the start up phase of rebranding their cars for a full on return in the coming years.

they already have Chev in the supercars. The Holdens run Chev 350's or they might be bigger but Chev engines

If they look as stupid as the "Mustang" does then don't bother. All this Control stuff is rubbish. Why bother having different brands at all ?

Exactly. May as well switch to the GT's anyway. Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes, Audi, Bentley, Viper - maybe even Mustang and Camaro etc.
The GT racing often looks to be pretty close, despite the variation in makes - and they can always apply some form of handicap if required.
Supercars need to take more cost out of their spaceframes and plastics too. The engine costs are silly.
