It has also been confirmed CAMS licence holders will get free entry to the opening round by showing their licence at the venue on the day.

While TCR Australia’s maiden appearance is certainly a major talking point for next month's Nationals, the first round also features plenty of other exciting categories for motor sport fans.

Regular categories in the Porsche Michelin GT3 Cup Challenge Australia, Radical Australia Cup and the Australian Prototype Series will also be on show in Sydney in what is expected to be an exciting and competitive round of racing.

Fresh from its opening round at the Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix 2019, the CAMS PAYCE Australian Formula 4 Championship returns to the Nationals for an epic double round fixture.

Throughout the weekend, the championship will hold one round on both Saturday and Sunday with six races occurring across the weekend.

The Shannons Nationals will also welcome back the Veloce Racing Association for the third consecutive year after the category produced some brilliant outings in previous years.

With the action to get underway at 8:30am AEST on both days of competition, gates will be open to the public around 7:30am.

Starting from $20 per person, tickets can be purchased either online or at the gate, while children aged 16 and under can enter for free.

The Shannons Nationals first round for 2019 takes place at Sydney Motorsport Park on 17-19 May.
