The last time ‘Australian GT’ raced at the circuit was in 2018, with the weekend captured by Liam Talbot in a Porsche.

A busy Friday program will see two 40-minute practice sessions completed before lunch, with qualifying 1 and 2 to follow later that afternoon.
Race 1 starts at 2:55pm local time and runs for 60 minutes, while Sunday’s one hour finale’ starts at 10:35am.
Both races will have live coverage on Fox Sports and Kayo Sports next weekend.
