“This year we have seen huge crowds return to our events and Adelaide is shaping as a spectacular finale for the Holden Commodore and Ford Mustang rivalry. We cannot wait to roll out our Gen3 Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro at Newcastle in March.

“What an amazing way to start the new chapter of racing for our sport.”
