Look at this - yep that’s a NASCAR stock car competing with GTs and Prototypes at Le Mans. And they were QUICKER than Ferrari, Aston Martin and Porsche!

It’s a Next-Gen Camaro that has been adapted to work at Le Mans. But if you missed it, you might be a bit confused about how this came about.

NASCAR has changed a lot recently, with newer, more aerodynamic cars.
Centre-lock wheels rather than the zzz,zzz,zzz,zzz,zzz lug nuts they used to run.
They’ve even moved to more F1-looking tyres rather than the old-style, tall-sidewall ones. Also adding a rear diffuser, typical on other race cars but very new for stock cars.

BUT, one of the bigger changes is that they are running more road courses than they used to, racing at tracks like Circuit of the Americas, Watkins Glen, and a favourite of mine - the Charlotte Roval.
So stock cars aren’t just for turning left, and they have shown that in recent seasons. But, not in the same way GT cars or prototypes can handle Le Mans for 24 hours though, right?
