Australian
GT Championship:
They are the cars of choice for Princes, Sheiks,
rock stars and multi-millionaires.
For
mere mortals they are pure dream machines.
Automotive
works of art to be seen at international motor
shows, in movies parked outside the exclusive
casinos of Monaco, and in car magazines bought
by enthusiasts with Ford and Holden budgets,
but with aspirations of the Prancing Horse
or the Raging Bull.
They
are THE Supercars and nothing epitomizes this
exclusive automotive niche segment more than
the Italian marques, Ferrari and Lamborghini.
Then there is Aston Martin, Porsche, and Lotus.
While
V8 Supercar racing is currently dominating
the Australian motor racing scene there is
another rarified category that not only features
the world’s most exotic and expensive
cars, but races them hard and fast.
It’s
Australian GT and the weapons of choice for
its drivers are very much from the top shelf.
Multiple
Lamborghini Gallardo models, Aston Martin
DBRS9’s, Ferrari 430’s and 360’s,
several models from the famous Lotus marque
and of course Porsche, plus the potential
of American muscle including Viper and Corvette
together with BMW M3, the Nissan 350Z and
more.
Australian
GT has been rebranded, reinvigorated and relaunched,
complete with new divisions and separate titles
for the GT Championship, GT Challenge and
GT Production
New
cars, drivers from around the world, an alliance
with the Aston Martin Asia Cup, more manufacturer
support and a number of other new and exciting
initiatives make Australian GT once of the
most exciting and desirable categories in
Australian motor sport.
