Australian Formula Ford champion Leanne Tander, Australian Formula 4 and Toyota 86 Series champion Will Brown, Australian Production Car champion Beric Lynton and Australian GT Trophy MARC Cars class winner Jake Camilleri are amongst the strong group of drivers spread through the six entries.
British Touring Car Championship frontrunner Jeff Smith, Dunlop Series runner Bryce Fullwood, Aaron Seton, F4 ace Nick Rowe and two-time Bathurst 12 Hour winner Rod Salmon are also featured amongst the list.
On top of that, MARC Cars also recently confirmed that Chaz Mostert, Morgan Haber and Max Twigg would combine in the team’s entry in the outright GT3 class, driving a BMW M6 GT3.
MARC Cars Australia’s Ryan McLeod said he was proud of the driving squad his team was able to assemble.
“We have six cars and the spread of drivers is such that any one of them should be a contender for the class win,” he said.
“Our regular drivers, guys like Keith Kassulke, Mick Benton, Jake Camilleri and Tony Alford, have really embraced what we’re trying to do and have helped us put together a sensational team.
“It’s going to be a great race within a race that I’m sure a lot of people are going to be watching.”
With six cars and 19 drivers to manage, McLeod says the team is ready for the logistical challenge involved in piecing together their Bathurst 12 hour program.
“We are fortunate because as a team we have got quite good at running multiple cars,” he explained. “It’s a well-oiled machine now.”
