Six rounds await competitors in the 2023 Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge, with the series visiting a number of iconic circuits throughout the year.
Competing as part of the Repco Supercars Championship, SpeedSeries and newly announced Trophy Series events, the season will open at Phillip Island on 3-5 March, before heading to Queensland Raceway in April.
The junior category will then join the Supercars schedule at the Tasmania SuperSprint before another Supercars event at Sydney Motorsport Park takes place in July.
The final two rounds of the year will then take place at The Bend in South Australia as part of the Trophy Series, before the season finale takes place at the iconic Mount Panorama on 9-11 November as part of the Supercheap Auto International, a round of the SpeedSeries.
Porsche Cars Australia Motorsport Manager Barry Hay said the calendar promised to deliver exciting racing.
“We feel confident we’ve put together an unbelievable calendar with the support of a range of promoters, on some of the country’s biggest events,” Hay said.
“A real highlight for all our teams, drivers and partners this year will be not only the two Repco Supercar Championship rounds but returning to the Bathurst International event in November next year for our season finale.
“Phillip Island and The Bend Motorsport Park circuits are both hugely popular with our drivers and well suited to our 911 GT3 Cup cars.”
