Following a two day test last week, the likes of Ben Grice, Nash Morris, Chris Pappas and Kyle Gurton will be ones to watch in what promises to be an action-packed round.
Turtle Wax Trans Am Series kicks off the action for SpeedSeries categories at Queensland Raceway, with opening practice at 9:55am before a second session at 1:20pm each of 20 minute duration.
Qualifying on Saturday will provide challenges in expected cold conditions at 8:05am in a two-part session similar to what occurred at the opening round at Symmons Plains.
Three races follow including the opener on Saturday afternoon at 3:30pm before a doubleheader on Sunday, the first being at 12:55pm and the final race of the weekend at 3:25pm.
Fans are being encouraged to pre-purchase their tickets to avoid queues at the gates. Parking for spectators will also only be available around the circuit, with the car park unavailable to ticket holders for this event due to the venue set up and garaging for the seven categories.

Park and watch areas feature around the outside of the circuit encompassing Turns 1, 2, 3 and 6 with all spots providing a complete view of the circuit.
