Jim Richards’ AMC Javelin will feature among a 35 car grid for the Touring Car Masters season opener at the Clipsal 500 Adelaide.
The Javelin returns for the first time since its heavy crash at Sandown in 2012, after which Richards reverted back to his Ford Falcon Sprint.
Fellow TCM stars John Bowe (Ford Mustang), Andrew Miedecke (Chevrolet Camaro) and Greg Crick (Chrysler Charger) all return to the series in their previous mounts.
As reported last month, Glenn Seton is the season’s big name addition, adding to the mix of highly credentialed drivers aboard Don Dimitriadis’ Mustang.
Elsewhere, Ian Palmer’s Pontiac Firebird will make its long-awaited TCM debut, ensuring eight brands are represented across the field.
Adelaide marks the first of eight TCM rounds for the year, with three races to be held across the weekend.
