After Eildon is TS 20, the final and potentially championship-deciding 18.29km Mount Buller test.
The final leg of four stages totals 113.77km and will see an earlier-than-usual finish with the implementation of the inaugural championship dinner on Sunday evening.
“It would be nice if we could continue with this course for a few years. But we will just have to see how it plays out this time,” Hamish Marquis said.
The CAMS Australian Targa Championship picture sees Paul Stokell (Lotus Exige) leading the outright standings on 206 points ahead of John Ireland and Jason White, both in Dodge Vipers.
Stokell has amassed 218 points in GT2 with Ireland in second place on 192 while White is on 170.
GT4 sees Nathan Stokes (2012 Subaru) hold a 23-point lead over Steve Glenney (2015 Subaru WRX STI).
Michael and Daniel Bray are on the cusp of sealing victory in the Shannons Classic outright and Shannons Classic GT categories after a stunning season in their 1975 Holden Torana.
Shannons Classic Handicap is far from resolved with Peter Gluskie holding a 15-point advantage in this 1985 BMW E30 325i over Graham Copeland (1941 GMC Jimmy Special) with Ashley Yelds (1961 Volvo 122S) 25 points off the lead in third.
Early Modern is on a knife-edge with Joshua Sutcliffe (2006 Subaru) holding a skinny 3-point buffer over Liam Howarth (1995 Nissan Skyline GTR) with Peter Roberts (Nissan Skyline R32) a further 29 points back.
TSD Trophy standings sees Darryl Marshall head the way on 170 points from Peter Taylor (Lotus Elise S) on 149.
The Thoroughbred Trophy situation sees Geoff Storr (1978 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV) going into THC with a 19-point lead over the 1984 Audi quattro of Jim Kelly.
Meanwhile in GT Sports Trophy, Martin Duursma (2018 Lotus Exige Cup 430) sits on 153 points with Richard Woodman (2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STI) second on 125.
