A jam-packed schedule has been confirmed for the Shannons SpeedSeries’ fifth round for the 2023 season at Queensland Raceway next month.
Six national categories will make the trip to the sunshine state for the event where more than 25 hours of action-packed racing will be staged across the three days.
Making up the star-studded bill will be a host of regular categories, such as the Supercheap Auto TCR Australia Series, National Trans Am Series, Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge Australia, Fanatec GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS, Kumho V8 Touring Car Series and the combined Mobil 1 Australian Production Cars and Monochrome GT4 Australia Series.
Most of the categories will take to the track for the traditional format of two practice sessions, a qualifying session and three races across the weekend, while Trans Am has opted to add an extra race to its schedule for the first time this year, making it a total of four races.
