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.
