I have been studying that car for a while as I want to build the Darrell Waltrip car from a year earlier. From what I see the front suspension is also different from what is offered in the Monte Carl ... |

Are there any discernible differences between the bodies of the 2020 and 2021 Camaro racecars?

The 2022 car is the biggest change seen in nascar since they abandoned production car chasis and went to purpose built racing frames. |

You said in your earlier post you had built up through 2019. Use whatever chasis you used for your 2019 car for the years 2020 and 2021. The 2022 car is going to be all new, independent rear suspens ... |

I have watched probably a thousand hours of nascar races especially in the 1990s and 2000s. In that time frame I basically never missed a race. So I want to model a car kind of in a race finish look ... |
