“This is going to be something truly different and exciting for our category, and a perfect preamble to our extended three-hour Sherrin Rentals Fight in the Night enduro which will be held later that same day.
“Complemented by some great racing from the Hyundai Excels over the two days, as well as Monochrome GT Exotic Cars happy laps, July 12-13 at Queensland Raceway is guaranteed to deliver two days of great racing and great fun for all involved.
“We are very thankful to QR and its team as well as Sherrin Rentals for their support of this event, and we can’t wait to see it all unfold in just over four weeks’ time.”
