The ARMOR ALL Gold Coast 600 is taking place this weekend and you have until midnight (AEST) tonight (Friday October 25) to finalise your team – giving you the advantage of knowing some of Sunday’s grid placings.

All 28 cars will run on a soft compound Dunlop tyre and maximising the tyre life will be critical this weekend.

The Gold Coast 600 event marks the final round of the ‘PIRTEK Enduro Cup’ – the last of the two-driver races of 2013.

Practice will commence on-track action on Friday, with qualifying and a 300km race to be held on both Saturday and Sunday.
