Three-time Le Mans 24 Hours winner Marcel Fässler will contest the opening round of the Australian GT Championship at Albert Park.
The former Audi LMP1 star will partner reigning champion Geoff Emery in the #1 Audi Sport Customer Racing Australia R8. It is hoped the Swiss driver will be able to contest all three endurance rounds of the Australian GT championship at The Bend, Phillip Island and Hampton Downs, in addition to the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix from March 22-25. Probably a new favourite for the W at Albert Park https://www.speedcafe.com/2018/03/09...n-aus-gt-grid/ |

The 2017 Australian Endurance Championship-winning pair of Peter Hackett and Dominic Storey will re-form for the opening round of the Australian GT season at Albert Park.
Hackett’s partner for the three endurance rounds, which now form part of the Australian GT Championship, has not yet been announced. https://www.speedcafe.com/2018/03/14...ir-grand-prix/ |

it will be good with a week to go to get a draft entry list
Rumored "full"field, but of what we know we are about 1/3 Gt4 and an unknown amount of Trophy cars (over 5 years old) possibly topped up by MARCs |

Considering there are no calendar clashes, and they are both being run out of Eggleston's, you would expect Storey will get the gig, finances being the only potential hurdle

Can someone explain the GT3 round at the Creek in August to me. The Supercars are running on Friday and Saturday into the evening (3rd - 4th), and the GT3 calendar says their meeting is running between 4th - 5th. So Sunday is just GT3? Are there any other categories running on that day?

A great weekend of racing by the GT field. Thankfully the Sunday race was clean and green to chequer for the live TV race.
Friday nights race under the fading light was also cracker with Jaie Robson and Fraser Ross battling it out for the win. Saturday's race in the rain was excellent for the first 4 laps with Fassler starting to reel in Baird before Samadi brought out the yellow flag and the race ran its course while the Audi was removed. |

I didnt get a recording of sundays race (series recording for the event), Assume it was before the telecast started which seemed to be in time for Carrera cup
