Supercars squad to make Bathurst 12 Hour debut

PremiAir Racing will team up with Schumacher Motorsport to field a latest-spec Audi R8 in the Intercontinental GT Challenge opener.

The car is owned by Brad Schumacher, a Bathurst local and one of the top Am GT drivers in Australia.

The exact driver line-up will be unveiled next week.

Schumacher has three Bathurst 12 Hour starts to his name, including an appearance with in a factory-backed Audi run by Melbourne Performance Centre last year alongside Kelvin van der Linde and Nathanael Berthon.

The 2023 Bathurst 12 Hour will take place on February 3-5.
