New for 2016, The Australian GT Trophy Series caters specifically for older generation GT3 cars, providing never before seen depth to sportscar racing in Australia.
Building on the success of the Australian GT Championship in recent seasons, the creation of the Trophy Series expands GT racing in Australia, and provides a dedicated competition for drivers with older GT3 machines.
Previously their competition had taken part within the Australian GT Championship, but the addition of the Trophy Series provides them with a standalone competition for the first time.
It’s a testament to the strength of GT racing with the all-new competition well received by competitors at its first event at Sandown in April, 2016.
The popular addition provided a number of key benefits for Australian GT.
For competitors, it added value to their machines as the competition gave them a dedicated home within the Australian motor sport landscape.
The older generation machinery also presents a lower entry point into the most exciting form of racing in the country, and the perfect place for drivers to gain experience before stepping into the Australian GT Championship.
Also welcomed into the Trophy Series are entries MARC Cars Australia, which enjoy their own dedicated class within the field.
The competitive, Australian made race cars are a perfect fit for the Series given they were specifically designed and built for longer form races.
The Trophy Series shares much in common with the Australian GT Championship.
From compulsory pitstops designed to balance out the racing to its longer 50-mimute races, it builds on everything that has made GT racing in Australia popular in recent years, and opens it to an all new market.
