The recently signed DJR Team Penske co-driver will once again join the HubAuto Corsa team in 2020 bringing local experience to the #27 Class A Pro entry for the international squad.

Slade will be joined two Brazilian Stock Car racers in Daniel Serra and Marcos Gomes who will both make their Mt Panorama debuts in the sole Ferrari 488 GT3 entry for this year’s 12 Hour.

Serra brings a wealth of experience to Australia, having not only won the Brazilian Stock Car title the last three years consecutively but also claimed a win with the Italian brand in the GTE Pro Class at the Le Mans 24 Hour last year.

HubAuto Corsa regular Gomes, who was crowned Brazilian Stock Car champion in 2015, will make his second start in Australia for the year, having recently competed Asian Le Mans Series round at The Bend Motorsport Park where he finished on the podium alongside Liam Talbot and Davide Rigon.

The Bathurst 12 Hour weekend commences on January 31 with the race taking place on February 2.
