Day-night race for GT World Challenge at Sydney Motorsport Park

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.
