No Camaro in GS class?
The first race of the season was this weekend in the Continental series in the GS class GT4, and noticed no Camaro that raced. Anybody know why? They had very good success last year and got the car GT4 ready, so surprised not to see any.

Pretty sure the team went under if I remember correctly.

Stevenson motor sports left the sport after last year. Sadly soon after John Stevenson died.
Sad of all the cars there were zero camaros. Chevy really needs to do a batter job to premote and sell these cars to teams.

The Mustang GT4 has more teething issues to get around, too. The Camaro GT4.R is pretty much good to go out of the box. |

Yep blackdog still runs them in PWC.
I dont know what the issue is as to why no one in GS is using a camaro... I'd imagine that the cars from last year are for sale or maybe GM is picky about who they get sold to? idk but it is disappointing especially when the class is so massive this year!

This might be why there weren't any in the race this weekend.

But it would be really nice to see more of the GT4.R’s competing this year.
