GRM Make Camaro Switch Ahead of 2026 Trans Am Season

February 4, 2026

Garry Rogers Motorsport will rekindle a 60-year-old affinity with the General Motors brand with a switch to the Chevrolet Camaro body style for their cars in the 2026 Trans Am season.

The move was put in motion midway through 2025 by the late eponymous Garry Rogers, who’s earliest ventures into racing in the 1960s came through the Holden brand. In the decades since, some of GRM’s greatest accomplishments have gone hand-in-hand with the GM brand including the famed Bathurst 24 Hour winning Monaros and the iconic 2000 Bathurst 1000 victory.

Since first entering Trans Am in 2021 GRM have solely fielded Ford Mustangs, claiming back-to-back titles in 2022 and 2023 with Nathan Herne and James Moffat. In 2025 Trans Am was dominated by Mustangs, holding 17 of the top 20 spots in the final standings.

The Trans Am category is built upon a single chassis with three body-types available to choose from – Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger. While the Mustang has emerged as a hot favourite, GRM Director Barry Rogers is out to prove the Camaro can reach the same heights in performance.

“One of the main reasons behind the switch was due to the sheer number of Mustangs in the series. We thought that with the supposed domination of those cars it would be good for the series, and as a challenge for the team, to get some more Camaro’s into the field and get them running up the front,” said Rogers.

“With Dad (Garry Rogers), we spoke on it around June last year and that’s when we ordered the cars. He was always a GM man at heart, so this is something he was really excited to see happen and I’m really proud to taking GRM back in that direction this year.”

GRM’s full driver lineup for the 2026 season, all to feature in brand new Chevrolet Camaros, will be announced in the coming weeks.
