Australian GT has released its 28 car entry list for the opening round of the sprint season at next month’s Clipsal 500.
The championship will welcome seven manufacturers and a host of established drivers for three 40 minute races on the Adelaide streets from March 3-6.
Four-time Bathurst 1000 winner Richards will share the entry with Max Twigg.
Experienced GT driver Nathan Morcom will drive the #60, while Nathan Antunes and Elliot Barbour share the #61 car.
Maranello Motorsport remains on the entry list despite Denyer’s departure with Tony D’Alberto listed as the pilot of the Ferrari 458.
The event will also see the competitive debut of the new Mercedes AMG GT3 in Australia with entries from Mark Griffith, Scott Taylor Motorsport and Eggleston Motorsport.
The entry list also confirms that reigning Australian GT champion Christopher Mies will be joined by Geoff Emery in the new Jamec-Pem Racing Audi R8.
Another new addition to the grid this year is Australian F3 champion Ricky Capo, who will drive a BMW Z4 GT3.
