Also in attendance was Wall Racing, which completed a shakedown of Adrian Deitz’s Lamborghini Huracan GT3 after a rebuild during the break.

Meanwhile at Winton, Melbourne Performance Centre completed testing with three of its Audi R8 GT3 LMS fleet, including Tony Bates’ Bostik-sponsored example.

M Motorsport also dusted off its Lamborghini Gallardo R-EX LP 600 GT3 for team owner Justin McMillan, while Dale Patterson completed a run in his Chevrolet Camaro GT3 after racing it at the opening round of the season at Phillip Island.
