Supercars has formally kicked off the recruitment drive for its new-look technical department ahead of the latest wave of parity testing.
That will sit along other never-used-before measures such as transient dyno testing, while torque sensors are also set to be fitted to both the Ford Mustangs and Chevrolet Camaros.
As part of the parity-driven shake-up, Supercars will bolster its technical department with two brand new roles – a Category Technical Director and Performance Engineer.
According to the job ad posted on jobstop.com, the Category Technical Director will manage the technical department and work with teams and manufacturers.
“As Supercars goes into a new era with improved access to industry-leading technologies to manage an ever-increasing technology led series, we are also investing in its technical team with the new role of Category Technical Director,” reads the listing.
