Competitors

Australian GT is designed for Privateer drivers.

Australian GT is not aimed at the seeded or professional drivers and is not a development series for young talent or those trying to forge a career.

Australian GT at its sole discretion may accept a limited number of seeded and master drivers for the season except for 2 driver events where a privateer driver can pair up with a master or seeded driver.

The strict and successful parity system works to ensure that no driver or car has an advantage and are all competing on equal terms so that every car in their respective division has the chance to win.

Division System
