The 2019 instalment of Australia’s International enduro will be held on February 1-3 at Mount Panorama, continuing the tradition of being the launching-point for the Australian motorsport season.
A remarkable 2018 instalment of the race was won by Audi Sport Team WRT and the all-international driving squad of Robin Frijns, Dries Vanthoor and Stuart Leonard.
More than 41,000 people attended the three-day event while millions watched the event unfold on the Seven Network around Australia and the most watched live-streaming coverage in event history.
Fans will soon be able to secure their spot trackside, with ticket sales commencing in early May.
Advanced ticket sales for 2018 grandstand ticket holders will start on Monday, 14 May, giving them priority to purchase grandstand tickets for a two week period prior to tickets going on sale to the general public on Wednesday, 30 May.
Fans who booked campsites in 2018 will also be able to take advantage of the advance sales period to purchase campsites for the 2019 event during the same time priority period.
General ticket and camping sales will then commence with the early bird pricing running until Wednesday, 27 June.
Early bird prices will remain at 2018 levels with fans encouraged to book online early and save.
