Nine Antipodeans have been confirmed for next month’s TotalEnergies 24 Hours of Spa, with the Groves releasing their livery.
A total of 65 cars are on the entry list for the 74th edition of the race, which forms part of the Intercontinental GT Challenge (IGTC).
Supercars team owners Stephen and Brenton Grove will share the #16 with Matt Payne and Adrian D’Silva.
The Grove’s Porsche 911 GT3 R, the same chassis that competed at the Bathurst 12 Hour, is being run by Earl Bamber Motorsport.
It features ‘Skippy’ the boxing kangaroo on both sides, something that has become customary to the father-son duo’s Porsche’s liveries.
Bathurst 12 Hour winner Kenny Habul will continue his IGTC charge off the back of his Mount Panorama success in May.
Take the short survey.
The Australian is set to share the driving duties aboard his SunEnergy1 Mercedes-AMG GT3 with Martin Konrad, Philip Ellis and Dominik Baumann.
