Day-night race for GT World Challenge at SMP

The next Shannons SpeedSeries event, Race Sydney, will take place across October 18-20 where Fanatec GT World Challenge Australia Powered by AWS will headline.

The GT3-based championship will have its second endurance race of the season with a day-night race that begins at 6:45pm AEDT.

With daylight saving kicking in earlier that month, it’ll mean a later afternoon start before the lights take over at Sydney Motorsport Park.

The event will effectively be a three-dayer with paid practice on Thursday followed by two one-hour practice sessions on Friday at 12:05pm and 4:55pm.

Qualifying will feature two 10-minute sessions for each driver, the first beginning at 10:40am. The Super Pole Shoot Out takes place at 11:45pm.

Race Sydney will also feature Giti Australian Formula Open, First Focus Radical Cup Australia, Meguiar’s Australian Production Cars, Supercheap Auto TCR Australia Series, and Monochrome GT4 Australia.

Don’t miss out on grandstand tickets for the 2026 Repco Bathurst.
