The Bathurst paddock over the weekend of the Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hours was abuzz with tales of new cars and new efforts due to contest the 2016 Australian GT Championship.
The Aussie launch for the AMG GT3 saw confirmation of an effort from Peter Hackett and Eggleston Motorsport to enter a pair of the new AMG GT3s in the Aussie Championship.
The team’s first car was in the Bathurst paddock for the launch with Hackett and Dominic Storey confirmed as drivers for the team.
Erebus Motorsport are also set to enter a pair of new Benz, and they too have already taken delivery of their first car.
The Bathurst 12 Hour race winning Tekno Autosports squad will run a trio of McLaren 650SGT3s in the sprint rounds of the Championship (with at least one car looking likely for the enduros too) with one of the pair of cars run at the 12 Hours set to stay, to be joined by a pair of new cars.
The Walkinshaw Group are set to field a new Porsche 911 GT3 R in the Championship, potentially one of several that might appear down under during the season.
The Walkinshaw effort is targeting factory support for their GT3 campaign.
With Stephen Richards BMW M6 GT3 already confirmed that means the 2016 Championship is already set to welcome plenty of new metal!
