Round five of the Shannons SpeedSeries heads to Shell V-Power Motorsport Park this weekend to host the GT Festival The Bend.
Six categories feature on the Shannons SpeedSeries schedule with GT World Challenge Australia, Monochrome GT4 Australia and First Focus Radical Cup Australia running their fifth rounds of the season – the latter of which will be the final round of 2025.
The South Australian event also welcomes the return of Ferrari Trofeo Pirelli Challenge Australasia for its last outing of the year and Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge Australia, while the popular Group S Racing joins the Shannons SpeedSeries for the first time in 2025.
This weekend also serves as one of the busiest on the calendar with the bumper schedule being made up of more than 21 hours of track action, with fans treated to two Grid Walks on Sunday ahead of Monochrome GT4 Australia and GT World Challenge Australia.
Fans wanting to catch the action can attend Friday’s schedule for free, with single-day tickets across the weekend starting at $35 and a weekend pass from $60.
Australian fans will also be able to watch Saturday and Sunday’s action live and free via 7plus, while all Monochrome GT4 Australia and GT World Challenge Australia sessions will be shown on the GT World YouTube page for international viewers.
