Australian GT will utilise upgraded LED light panels for the 2018 season commencing at the Australian Grand Prix.

The LED panels in the windscreen of each car were introduced during the 2017 Australian GT Championship and will provide fans with even more information this year.

In 2017 the LED panels were primarily used to show the stationary time in the pits for each car. Also showcasing the cars race number while on track. In 2018 they will also be used to broadcast the car’s position in class, allowing fans both at the track and watching from home to more easily follow the action.

Developed in Australia, the panels will update each lap through the Australian GT developed data logger located in each car, reflect positional changes automatically.

The 2018 CAMS Australian GT Championship will be on track Albert Park in Melbourne on March 22-25.
