Fireworks are expected in AWD Production, with class leader Steve Glenney (Techsport Evo) set to face stern competition across the day.
Two-wheel-drive racer Matt Lee will step into an S2000-specification VW Polo for the first time while Richie Dalton will also drive a similar car. Ronnie Bustard, now firmly established in the all-wheel-drive class, will also feature in his Lancer Evo.
Two-wheel-drive will be split across the open and under 1.6-litre class, with champion-elect Will Orders headlining the category.
Hyundai Excel circuit racer Ross Allan will make the transition to RXAus competition while Bradley White, Conner McLeod, Jason Fitzmaurice, Zak Edwards and Nathan Senior will also feature.
RXAus organisers will also trial a new race format this weekend. Borrowing from the ‘Nordic’ system used in several key European Rallycross series’, competitors will race three heats with grids progressive throughout the day – i.e. where drivers finish heat one they will finish heat two.
4-car grids in the heat races will also allow for competitors of a similar pace to be grouped together, promoting better racing for fans and closer competition for competitors throughout the day.
Six cars from each class will then progress to the semi-final and finals to conclude the round.
Tickets are available from the Winton Raceway gate this Saturday, November 10 while late entries are also available for competitors looking to compete – head to www.rxaus.com.au or contact Winton directly for more information.
Action gets underway from 9:30am this Saturday.
