A 20 car field for the Kumho V8 Touring Car Series will headline the final Shannons Nationals presented by Hi-Tec Oils meeting of the season at Phillip Island on the November 4-6 weekend.
The event will see title holders decided in the Kumho V8 Touring Cars, GT3 Cup Challenge, Commodore Cup National Series and Superkart Championships.
Chris Smerdon leads fellow ex-Stone Brothers Racing Ford Falcon BA driver Terry Wyhoon by just 20 points following the penultimate round of the Touring Cars Series at Sandown. With 133 points still available, ex-Paul Morris Motorsport Holden Commodore VY pilot Scott Loadsman is also well in contention, 49 points adrift of Smerdon.
South Australian Michael Bartsch will have his first drive of a BA model Falcon in this weekend’s event, having purchased the Thexton Motor Racing-built Ford from Matthew White Motorsport, who will run the car this weekend.
The Commodore Cup is also set for a tight finish, with just one-point separating defending series winner Adam Beechey and his fellow Victorian Matthew Hayes.
In the 250 International Class of the Australian Superkart Championship, Darren Hossack faces just a three point deficit to Warren McIIveen, while a 36 point lead sees Roger Lago set to retain his GT3 Cup Challenge title.
Having already wrapped up the series, Matt Lovell will head a 26-car Saloon Car Series field, while 2011 Kerrick Sports Sedan Series winner Tony Ricciardello will have increased competition this weekend as Dean Randle returns in his Saab 93.
The penultimate round of the Formula 3 Australian Drivers’ Championship has attracted 10 entries, with proven race winners Matt Sofi and Tim Macrow set to mix it up with title contenders Chris Gilmour and James Winslow.
