Supercars Wraps Windshear Tests as Camaro Sets Benchmark for 2026 Parity

Officials say the results will drive Mustang standardisation plus Toyota styling revisions to deliver aerodynamic parity in 2026.

Overview

  • The homologation session at the Windshear rolling‑road tunnel in North Carolina tested Chevrolet, Ford and Toyota entries at 200–300 km/h.
  • Supercars confirmed the Camaro completed its role as the baseline car and will not return to the tunnel this round.
  • The Mustang underwent directed updates in hidden areas, including a revised front undertray, to help commonise components across models.
  • The Toyota Supra will receive visible changes informed by CFD and tunnel data, with a different front fascia expected on the race‑ready version.
  • Tim Edwards reiterated confidence in achieving aero parity for 2026, as Supercars released tunnel images of WAU’s second Supra and WAU continued separate engine testing at Winton.
