We’ve got another good weekend ahead, with a title prospect on the cards for Marco Giltrap in the Porsche Sprint Challenge Australia. Giltrap is joined by Clay Osborne and Ronan Murphy for the final round of the season at the Bathurst International.

Also at the Bathurst International is a seven-strong Touring Car Masters contingent from New Zealand, who will go up against a predominantly Australian field for Trans-Tasman bragging rights across four races. The Kiwis will then head to South Australia for the Adelaide 500.

Brendon Leitch rounds out the Kiwis competing abroad, entering the penultimate round of Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe in the series lead.

For all the information you need, including how to watch and at what times, see below!

Brendon Leitch heads into the penultimate round of Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe with a 12.5-point championship lead.

The event at Vallelunga replaces a round at Imola from earlier in the year which was not run due to a delay in renovations at the circuit for the upcoming Formula 1 Grand Prix.

The final round of the series will take place at the circuit next week, ahead of the World Finals that weekend, where Super Trofeo America and Super Trofeo Asia competitors join forces for a winner-take-all event.

Leitch was also in action in New Zealand last weekend, finishing fifth with Christina Orr-West and Tim Miles in the Highlands 10th Anniversary 6-Hour Enduro in Cromwell.

Ronan Murphy sits fifth on the table, having secured three podiums, including a race win, this year, while Clay Osborne returns for his second round of 2023 after finishing sixth in all three races at The Bend in October.
