GT World Challenge and GT4 Australia set to go at Hampton Downs this weekend

A 14-strong field of the world’s finest GT machinery will tackle the final round of the GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS, with New Zealand driver Jaxon Evans a chance at securing the championship on home soil at Hampton Downs Motorsport Park, this weekend.

Headlining the entry list are the two main title contenders, led by Arise Racing GT’s Jaxon Evans and Elliott Schutte in the WA-based team’s Ferrari 296 GT3 and their Melbourne Performance Centre rivals Broc Feeney and Brad Schumacher.

Just 30-points separates the Ferrari from the Audi R8 LMS EVO II of Feeney and Schumacher – and with 52 on offer over the course of the weekend, an intriguing championship climax is in store.

The field this weekend includes local teams, IMS Racing and Mach1 Engineering, fielding local entries taking on the Aussie best, as well as the New Zealand debut of the stunning Ferrari 296GT3 – of which three will compete this weekend against Audi, Lamborghini and Mercedes-AMG.
