The third running of the event has attracted another bumper field, including 17 different makes and 38 different models across the seven classes.
There's also 23 Class A1 cars set to do battle for outright honours, the favourites including the Sherrin Rentals BMW M4, Morcom Motorsport’s Ford Focus RS, Mark Eddy’s Audi TT RS, the Garth Walden Racing and Rod Salmon-entered Mercedes-AMG A45s and Dylan Thomas’ Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X RS.
While the total number is two cars down on the 2017 field, it's actually up in terms of pure Production Cars, with Saloon Cars now not permitted to enter.
"The fact we have seen an overall increase in Production Cars and another grid of more than 60 entries proves the ongoing appeal of the event,” said event director James O’Brien.
“The depth of competition continues to grow, and we expect to see very close and hard-fought battles for the podium positions in each of the seven classes throughout the weekend.
“More later-model cars continue to be built for the race, though we are pleased it remains an avenue for privateer runners and family teams on a modest budget to be able to compete at Mount Panorama.
“We have some exciting announcements to make in the coming weeks that will add to the event and make it even bigger than ever in 2018.”
