Queensland teams return to base after border dash

Dick Johnson Racing and Matt Stone Racing have returned to their respective bases in Queensland after dashing across the border last week.

Both teams returned home over the weekend after coronavirus restrictions were eased across the Sunshine state.

Last week Queensland teams made an early move for the border amid an outbreak of COVID-19 in the community in Brisbane.

Banyo-based Triple Eight Race Engineering made an early dash for the border in time for the Bathurst 6 Hour where it contested GT World Challenge Australia Powered by AWS.
