NASCAR takes out its next-generation Cup Series cars on May 5th.
The all-new vehicles would originally start racing in the 2021 season, but their launch has been postponed until 2022 due to the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic to their development.
The new design aims to modernize the cars more relevant to street vehicles and includes an independent rear suspension, 18-inch single-wheel wheels, a six-speed consecutive manual transmission and a carbon-fiber bath instead of a traditional NASCAR racing frame. .
Prototypes bearing a generic NASCAR brand have been publicly tested, while the specific Ford, Chevrolet and Toyota cars were on the track at Martinsville Speedway last week for a private test session.
