Below is a preview for the next round, got some new cars debuting next weekend 19/20 October at Queensland Raceway, and John English's Son, Sean taking the wheel of the 72 Camaro with John driving the Barkley-Griffin #43 Mustang.

AFTER a quiet period, the Tenkate Plant Hire Australian Trans Am Championship will be back louder and faster than ever before at round five of their series at the Queensland Racing Drivers Championship (QRDC) meeting at Queensland Raceway on Saturday October 20th and Sunday October 21st, 2013. Compared to the previous round there will be more competitors on track with more than fourteen beautifully prepared American muscle cars set to grace Queensland Raceway with their presence.

Series sponsor, Anthony ‘Ace’ Tenkate is itching to getting back behind the wheel of his 1968 Ford Mustang. “With no racing for almost two months I’m having severe withdrawal symptoms such is my passion for our Trans-am racing series,’ said Tenkate.

Geoff ‘Famous’ Fane is confident that he can take it to series leaders John English and Ian Palmer. ‘The GFR Industries Mustang is back from the wreck at Lakeside and hopefully we can go one or two better this time at Queensland Raceway and push up for a win. After coming from dead last in the third race to third we should be competitive. A good strong qualifying should put us in the right place this time enabling us to compete head to head with English and Palmer,’ said Fane.

Series leader and category president, John English is handing over the controls of his championship car to son, Sean while he will take the wheel of the 43 Barkley-Griffin Mustang. ‘There may [also] be a guest driver in the Craig Harris Mustang. At present we have entries for fourteen cars with a few more expected,’ said English.

The Tenkate Plant Hire Australian Trans Am Championship aspires to celebrate the rich history and tradition of the 1960′s – 1970′s style U.S Trans Am Racing Series, while providing motorsport fans with exciting door-to-door racing action. The Australian Trans Am is one of the more exciting motor racing categories in Australia and is a crowd favourite among spectators.
