Following an entertaining opening phase of the season, teams and drivers arrive ready to continue building momentum in championship battles that are already beginning to take shape. Known for its fast layout and close racing, Queensland Raceway presents a new challenge that is expected to reward consistency, tyre management and bold racecraft.

Leading the weekend schedule is GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS, where established names and emerging contenders will once again battle for outright honours. With the championship becoming increasingly competitive, every session will carry importance as drivers look to maximise points and gain an advantage heading deeper into the season.
