Australian GT will award the all-new Gold Driver Cup during the 2016 season.
The Gold Driver Cup is open to drivers over 40 years of age, ranked Pro 4 or less, and who compete without a co-driver during the CAMS Australian GT Championship.
The eligible driver who accumulates the most points over the course of the season will receive the inaugural Gold Driver Cup and receive a money-can’t-buy experience.
Set to run over the course of the six rounds, the Gold Driver Cup adds a new dynamic to the Championship.
“The Gold Driver Cup is an exciting new addition to the CAMS Australian GT Championship and is recognition for the drivers who make up the backbone of the category,” said Australian GT category manager Ken Collier.
“We’ve already had strong interest from competitors and we look forward to what will be a hotly contested and sought after award.
“Every competitor is important to us, and this is the perfect way to recognise those who invest so much of their time and energy to come racing with Australian GT.”
The winner of the Gold Driver Cup will be awarded at the final CAMS Australian GT Championship round of the season at Highlands Motorsport Park (November 11-12).
