Track and Street Come Closer Together in the All-New Chevrolet NASCAR Next Gen Camaro ZL1 Race Car
OEMs and NASCAR collaborate to bring production elements to race cars
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Chevrolet and other major automotive brands competing in the NASCAR Cup Series revealed their Next Gen models today. Chevrolet's new look on the racetrack will more closely connect to its cars in the showroom when Chevy campaigns its Next Gen Camaro ZL1 race car, starting next season in the NASCAR Cup Series. The new look and features are a result of a collaborative effort by Chevrolet, the series and other original equipment manufacturers for race cars competing at the Cup level to look and perform more like their production counterparts.
The Next Gen Camaro ZL1 race car's new lower greenhouse, shortened deck lid and widened track width contribute to a coupe-like appearance. A fully symmetrical body design makes the race car look even more like the production Camaro.
'Chevrolet engineers and designers worked alongside our race teams to develop this race car while staying true to the styling essence of the Camaro ZL1,' said Jim Campbell, GM Ú.S. vice president of Performance and Motorsports. 'This cooperation will benefit Chevrolet both on the track and the street.'
Both the Next Gen Camaro ZL1 race car and production Camaro ZL1 offer hood air extractors that enhance track performance.
'The Next Gen Camaro has a much stronger link to the production Camaro ZL1 in terms of styling integration, improved proportions and relevant technologies,' said Eric Warren, Chevrolet director of NASCAR Programs. 'From an engineering standpoint, this is a seismic shift. It's a completely new car that brings with it a lot of opportunity from a technical standpoint.'
Other changes to the 2022 Next Gen race car include:•Úpgraded specs to match modern passenger vehicle technology, including independent rear suspension - like production Camaros - and rack and pinion steering.
•An increase in wheel size from 15 to 18 inches. The larger diameter wheels allow for larger brakes for improved track performance. Wheels will be made from forged aluminum, like the wheels on the production Camaro ZL1.
•A new transaxle that combines the transmission and rear gears into one package.
•The bottom of the car will be sealed with an underwing and rear diffuser for enhanced aerodynamics.
•A redesigned chassis features new front and rear bumpers with an energy-management system.
•Both the front and rear clips bolt on to the center section for easier serviceability and damage repair.
Chevrolet initially introduced the Camaro ZL1 race car to NASCAR Cup competition in 2018. It was replaced by the Camaro ZL1 1LE race car in 2020, which Chase Elliott drove to a Driver's Championship in the car's first season.
Chevrolet has campaigned 14 different nameplates in the Cup Series, dating back to 1955, and with 798 victories is the winningest brand in NASCAR Cup Series history. Chevy's first win was by Fonty Flock at Columbia Speedway in South Carolina in 1955, the same year Chevrolet introduced its famed small-block V-8. Since then, Chevrolet has won 39 Manufacturer Championships, including 13 in a row from 2003-2015, and 32 Driver Championships to lead all manufacturers.
The Next Gen Camaro ZL1 race car will make its points-paying debut at next season's Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, on Feb. 20, 2022.
Get a behind-the-scenes look at the Next Gen Camaro ZL1 race car Saturday, May 8, at 8 p.m. ET by joining 'Chevy MyWay: Meet the All-New NASCAR Next Gen Camaro,' a free broadcast open to all.

Cut your drive shaft in half. Glue the front half to the Tilton transmission bell on the engine, the rear half to the transaxle.

SUPER BUILD WHAT DID YOU USE FOR THE FRONT GRILL MESH

[@sierrahobbys1883]

Hi, thanks for your comments 🙂. I used left over micro mesh from one of my motorcycle kits for the grill.

I like the way you built this! I have not successfully built one yet! Have had all kinds of fit issues. Would love to know what size wire and tubing you used for all the hoses and ignition wires?

[@sierrahobbys1883]

Thanks for your comments 🙂. The ignition wires I used .6mm black wire and 1mm vynal tubing also Studio 27 Hose fittings 1/24 scale. I wish I had better reference pics, but they're very hard to find. Cheers mate!

How do you do the roof lines through the number 9 decal? I tried a very sharp exacto blade but did not get a nice look at all. Also wondering what kind of material you use for the masking sheet that you put the white decals on? Great looking model that you did!

[@sierrahobbys1883]

@@johnmcgowan9673 Thanks 😊. I did use the xacto knife to cut through the decals, very carefully and kept brushing with mark fit and gently pressing the decal with a cloth. I also placed the decal onto a sheet of Tamiya masking paper then carefully traced around with the knife.

What is the tool you put the tire into to sand. Looks really cool

[@sierrahobbys1883]
