“Together with the Australian Racing Group [owner of TCR, S5000, TCM, National Trans Am], we’re absolutely excited to be returning to Sydney Motorsport Park with various sessions under lights and expect a big crowd in to soak up all the action across the weekend.
“There are plenty of great vantage points for both Saturday and Sunday, so it should be a fantastic weekend.”
While Friday is closed to fans, spectators are welcome on the Saturday and Sunday, with general admission entry $25 per day and corporate packages available.
