An array of V8 Supercars co-drivers will join the Australian GT Championship field for the upcoming 101 endurance event at Phillip Island.
GT organisers have released a provisional entry list for the May 23-25 Shannons Nationals meeting, which will see the exotic machines contest a 101 lap, 450km, race on the Saturday.
The race has attracted 26 confirmed entries, headed by Erebus Motorsport's AGTC points leader Richard Muscat, who is joined in the #36 Mercedes by Dunlop Series driver Jack Le Brocq.
V8 enduro drivers set to compete include Craig Baird (Klark Quinn McLaren), David Russell (Roger Lago Lamborghini) and Warren Luff (Steve McLaughlan Audi).
Steve Owen and Steven Richards will also be present, undertaking their regular AGTC co-driving duties with James Koundouris (Porsche) and Justin McMillan (Lamborghini) respectively.
Although not on the published entry list, Walkinshaw Racing's Tony D'Albeto is also expected to race, rejoining Tony DeFelice's Vicious Rumour Racing Ferrari outfit following its ill-fated assault on the Bathurst 12 Hour.
Front-runner Tony Quinn is meanwhile yet to confirm who will co-drive his Aston Martin, which has been repaired following its crash at Sandown.
Jim Manolios, who collided with Quinn while driving the category owner's Ferrari at the season-opener, will return to his recently upgraded Corvette for Phillip Island.
The car, which features a new aerodynamic package and paddle-shift gearbox, will be co-driven by former Garry Rogers Motorsport crew member Ryan Millier.
Muscat's lead in the AGTC standings sits at 15 points over the Peter Edwards/John Bowe Maranello Ferrari combination following Sandown.
Klark Quinn is third, a further two points adrift, while James Koundouris/Steve Owen and Tony Quinn complete the top five.
Phillip Island is one of two AGTC meetings to feature a 101 lap race this year, although the second, to be held at New Zealand's Highlands Park, will not count for championship points.
