Another significant addition to the Fanatec GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS grid is confirmed as Dutton EMA Motorsport announce their entry with a new Porsche 911 GT3 R Gen II with Tickford Racing’s multiple Supercars race winner and 2020 title runner up Cam Waters as their Pro Driver.
Delays beyond the Team’s control meant that Dutton EMA Motorsport took delivery of the car after the 2021 Fanatec GTWC Australia competition had commenced.
Their recast plan sees a solid test program planned, with the team aiming to hit the ground running at the final Motorsport Australia GT Championship event at Sandown in September before embarking on an assault for the 2021 Motorsport Australia Endurance Champion Pro / Am Championship.
Mathew Nilsson, Team Manager for Dutton EMA Motorsport: “Our Porsche 911 GT3 R programme has been progressing for quite some time now, with a lot of effort behind the scenes. Signing a Pro driver of the calibre and professionalism of Cam has been an important achievement, we welcome him to our Team and look forward to working with him.”
The opportunity for Waters to join Dutton EMA Motorsport was one that couldn’t be missed. “I have been keen to do more GT racing since 2018,” said Waters, who raced in the Bathurst 12 Hour in 2018, taking a Pro-Am class podium with Strakka Racing.
“Diversifying into different categories creates new disciplines and challenges, and I can’t wait for my chance to drive the Porsche product and battle for race wins.”
Joining Waters in the car at the Sandown event as the Amateur Driver will be Ben Stack, Dutton EMA Motorsport’s lead driver for their Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia championship entry.
“Ben has been a big contributor to the establishment of Dutton EMA Motorsport”, said Nilsson. “We are pleased to provide him with the opportunity to gain further experience in the Porsche 911 GT3 R working closely with Cam during testing and contesting the Sandown event.”
Round #4 of the Motorsport Australia GT Championship will be held at Sandown on 17th/19th September, 2021.
