The fully manual sequential gear change mechanism used in current Supercars will be installed this week to the Gen3 Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang prototypes for testing during the year.

The timing of the installation means the planned on-track testing of the Gen3 Supercars scheduled for Winton Raceway this week will not proceed.

Earlier this month, Supercars confirmed that the Camaro and Mustang will continue to run using a current gear shift system when they hit the grid in 2023.

Supercars Head of Motorsport Adrian Burgess said: "It’s in the best interest of the overall program to take the prototypes off track and make changes to the manual gear change mechanism and respective ergonomics at this time.

"It will be an exciting development for the program ahead of our next phase of testing."

The 13-event 2022 Repco Supercars Championship will commence in Sydney in March. CLICK HERE to purchase your tickets.
