Triple Eight reschedules new car shakedown

Red Bull Ampol Racing has rescheduled the shakedown of its two new-for-2024 Chevrolet Camaro Supercars.

The team had initially scheduled its shakedown for Tuesday January 30, but the threat of inclement weather forced a change to Thursday February 1.

However, the shakedown has been brought back forward by a day to Wednesday January 31 due to scheduling changes at Queensland Raceway.

Per Supercars shakedown rules, each car is permitted up to 60km of mileage. Erebus Motorsport and Penrite Racing are also set to debut new cars at the start of the season.

Triple Eight Race Engineering has built two new cars for Broc Feeney and recruit Will Brown. Brown, who arrives from Erebus Motorsport, will race with the #87, with Feeney continuing with the #88.

Triple Eight's shakedown comes ahead of the team’s ‘Livery Landing’ launch at Toowoomba’s Wellcamp Airport on Saturday February 3, where the team’s 2024 livery will be revealed.

Free entry is available to the general public for the event, which will run from 3:00pm to 7:00pm local time.

Queensland-based teams Triple Eight, Dick Johnson Racing, Matt Stone Racing and PremiAir Racing will take to Queensland Raceway for their pre-season test on Monday February 5.

Southern teams will test at Winton Motor Raceway on Wednesday February 7.
