Gen3 Supercars explained: rules and specifications

The Gen3 ruleset is being implemented for the second time in Supercars for the 2024 season.

This means that the Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang are the two cars of choice this year, following Holden’s withdrawal from the competition. 

Both cars are noticeably different from the current Gen2 design, with greater similarity to their ‘road-going equivalents’.

Gen3 marks the biggest change to the Australian racing series since the implementation of V8-powered Commodores and Ford Falcons in the 1990s. 

To ensure the new cars act more like road cars, Supercars have intended to reduce downforce by more than 65 per cent.

This also places more weight on a driver’s skill and leads to more overtaking opportunities.
