The aerodynamic parity between the Supercars Gen3 Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro will finally be settled next week.
A new VCAT aero test program is planned by the Supercars test team and will be run at the Temora airfield in rural NSW.
The test is being run to finally ensure parity between the new Supercars contenders before the first round of the 2023 championship on the streets of Newcastle.
The last-minute and last-gasp program is intended to identify and rectify any differences between the new-generation Camaro and Mustang.
It comes after disputed, inconclusive and incomplete results from the original Gen3 VCAT testing at the Wellcamp airfield in Queensland last November.
AUTO ACTIONhas been told there were two properly comparative test runs from the whole of the original VCAT program.
There has been no official confirmation of next week’s VCAT program from Supercars, which continues to battle a range of niggling Gen3 issues while denying any problems.
Several drivers have also told AUTO ACTIONthey have been asked not to criticise the cars or Gen3 program.
Ford and Chevrolet were both approached for comment and, while not denying the new VCAT testing at Temora, refused to comment.
However, Ford has been agitating for many weeks to get a proper VCAT result and Chevrolet wants the issue to be settled before the start of racing in Newcastle.
The last time Temora was used for VCAT testing was in 2018.
