The Gen3 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 has turned its first laps.

The Gen3 Camaro took to Queensland Raceway on Wednesday, with Ash Walsh also steering the Gen3 Ford Mustang.

It comes a week after the Gen3 Mustang turned its first laps with Alex Davison at the wheel at the same circuit.

The Camaro has been developed by General Motors’ homologation team, Triple Eight Race Engineering.

With Broc Feeney behind the wheel, the car was sent out for its first run behind closed doors.
