The run into Christmas has left little action overseas, but there’s still Richie Stanaway in the Gulf 12 Hours in Abu Dhabi and a seven-strong karting contingent at the Rotax Grand Finals in Bahrain.

It will be Stanaway’s first outing with Grove Racing before he joins them, alongside Adelaide 500 race winner Matt Payne, for the 2024 Supercars season.

To see how you can watch and at what times, see below!
