Australia’s eccentric car culture is well documented. Falcons, Commodores, utes and fast four-doors. Brabham, Brock, and 351 Cleveland blocks. From Summernats and Mad Max, a love of everything from Bathurst cookouts to gender reveal burnouts runs deep down under. It’s no surprise, then, that – despite its geographical isolation – Australia plays host to a variety of big ticket international motor racing events, from the F1 curtain-raiser at Albert Park to the final round of the WRC, as well as the iconic Bathurst 1000 at Mount Panorama, the World Time Attack Challenge at Sydney Motorsport Park, and the MotoGP at Phillip Island. However, another international racing event came to Australia for the first time this month, drawing competitors from all over the globe.
