Australian GT Championship And Endurance Championship Phillip Island Wrap

Cold wet weather and an early winter blast greeted teams for the Australian GT Championship at Phillip Island over the weekend.

With an incredible line-up of cars, incredible speeds and possibly the best wheel-to-wheel car racing to be found anywhere on the calendar, crowd numbers at the track were surprisingly low for such a premier event.

Maybe it was the chill weather that kept crowds away, but there was no shortage of heat from the track in an action-packed double-header - the Australian GT Championship running on Saturday and the new Endurance Championship running Sunday over 101 laps (with two practice and qualifying sessions on Friday).
