Changes

Tobías Martínez will compete in a Trotta Racing Team next-generation Torino, Agustín Martínez with his family team Gurí Martínez Competición in a Ford Falcon, Chapur in an AyP Competición Dodge GTX Cherokee, De La Iglesia in a Di Meglio Motorsport Dodge, and Abella in an LCA Racing Chevy. ^[18]
• 2022 series champion José Manuel Urcera will switch from a Maquin Parts Racing Torino to a Moriatis Competición Ford.
• Mauricio Lambiris will move from Alifraco Racing to Maquin Parts Racing.
• Christian Ledesma will move from Las Toscas Racing to Pradecon Racing, and will be joined by former Moriatis/Ford driver Otto Fritzler.
• Leonel Pernía will move from Las Toscas Racing to RV Racing.
• Juan Cruz Benvenuti will switch from a Trotta Racing Team Torino to an Alifraco Sport Chevrolet.
• Norberto Fontana will switch from a RUS Med Team Torino to a Hermanos Álvarez Competición Chevrolet.

• Matías Rossi left the series after a planned move from a factory Toyota to a Pradecon Racing-run Camaro was blocked by the governing body. ^[28]

Rule changes

Technical

In an attempt to "modernize" the category following the admission of the Toyota Camry in 2022, the governing body approved the introduction of new models to the championship. 2024-model Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger bodystyles as well as a facelift to the existing Camry were ushered in, along with a fan-designed Torino concept with the goal of phasing out the existing cars over a three-year period. The new models will be built in Argentina, with the roof, rear fender and door panels imported from the manufacturers. ^{[29] [30]}

Operational

• The new models will see their competition number displayed on the front quarter panel behind the front wheel, as opposed to the old models where the competition number is displayed on the rear passenger window.
