And there are plenty of familiar names within the Australian motorsport community who will contest the category, while six iconic manufacturers will be represented so far.
 
Some of the notable drivers locked in for the year include inaugural champion Shane Smollen, who along with rookie Zoe Woods and experienced campaigner George Miedecke, will run a Porsche Cayman 718.
 
There are already six entries running a Mercedes AMG GT, including Tony Quinn, Mark Griffith, Bailey and Rob Love, Jake Camilleri and Ben Newman, who is a highly experienced rally driver and hill climber.

Leading the BMW M4 G82 charge is multiple-time Bathurst 6 Hour and Fight in the Night winner Tim Leahey and Jacob Lawrence, while Steve Jukes is the only Audi R8 driver entered thus far.
 
Like Leahey, a handful of drivers will be making the step up from the Australian Production Cars, with Karl Begg and Chris Pappas both running a McLaren 570S for the season.
 
The remaining confirmed entry for the season will Scott Turner and Rob Rubis, who will be sharing driving duties in  the Ginetta G55.
 
With Race Sandown serving purely as a pre-season exhibition race where a strong number of teams will front up, not all entries are expected to be in attendance, with a confirmed field to be revealed closer to the event.
 
Tickets for Race Sandown are still available and can be purchased via motorsporttickets.com.au.
 
Monochrome GT4 Australia will also feature in the jam-packed 7plus broadcast, while select races will be shown free-to-air on the Seven Network throughout the year.
 
The opening round of the Shannons SpeedSeries’ Race Sandown takes place on 9-11 February.
