The 2020 Production Sports endurance season resumes at Sydney Motorsport Park this weekend, with 18 cars set to line up for the second round of the CUE Endurance Super Series.
While the border closures have ruled out entries from typical attendees like the Victorian-based Melbourne Performance Centre Audis and Stillwell Mustang, along with Queenslander Jason Miller, the field is still rich in quality.
Andrew Macpherson will be one of the key contenders in the GT class and has engaged the services of his regular co-driver, Ben Porter, to share his beautiful and very rapid Lamborghini Hurracan.
Macpherson’s opposition in the GT class will come from Nick Kelly, who makes a welcome return after his big crash at Wakefield Park in July, and Vince Muriti, who will race his recently-purchased Mercedes AMG-GT3 for the first time.
Wall Racing will run a quartet of vehicles with Richard Gartner (Lamborghini Gallardo), Caspar Tresidder and Greg Ward (Porsches) joined on track by Drew Hall, also in a Porsche.
Other representatives of the Porsche brigade include the Fernandez Motorsport entries of Marcel Zalloua and Sergio Pires, the Corse Motorsport machines of Paul Bassett, Dylan de Szabo and Anthony Skinner and GWR Australia Carrera Cup car of Indiran Padayachee.
Iain Pretty and Scott Fleming will again team up in Pretty’s Ford GT40 replica, while the Class B battle between the Adrian Wilson/Andre Nader BMW M4 and Stephen Wan Lotus Exige is set to continue in earnest.
The race format will consist of three practice sessions on Friday, two qualifying sessions and two sprint races on Saturday and the one-hour endurance race on Sunday.
