“This is a really cool initiative and a great way for SRO Motorsports Australia to bring the racing to the people,” said SRO Motorsports Australia CEO Ben McMellan.

“We are offering free entry to all race fans for the event, and that has been met with a great response, so the road trip is just another way to get the fans involved.

“We’re really looking forward to the GT Festival. There will be plenty for the fans to see and we know that the racing will be top-class.”
