Taiwanese GT team HubAuto Racing, is thrilled to announce its return to the historic Mount Panorama Bathurst circuit, Australia, for the iconic Bathurst 12Hour event scheduled 16 – 18, February 2024.

After a four-year hiatus from the Australian motorsport scene, HubAuto Racing returns with a determined aim to conquer the mountain with the Porsche 911 GT3R 992, drawing strength from past achievements in Australia and recognising the ongoing support of their fans in the country.

“Clinching the 2019-2020 Asian Le Mans Series title strengthened our connection with our Australian fan base, who holds a special place in our hearts. Our Australian fans are our second-largest supporter base, beyond Taiwan.” Said Morris Chen, Team Principal and Owner.

“Australia has been a tremendous source of fan support, and we are eager to return to Bathurst – a circuit known for its unforgiving challenges and create new memorable moments for both our local and international fans,” Chen said.

Mount Panorama has previously posed a formidable challenge for HubAuto Racing, with the team facing setbacks in their previous two appearances in 2019 and 2020, where unfortunate crashes led to premature exits from the event. Despite these challenges, the team remains undeterred and is approaching this year’s Bathurst 12Hour event with determination and meticulous preparation.

“Our experiences at Bathurst have been challenging, but we’ve always shown potential. These events have been integral to our growth and resilience as a team,” remarked local Aussie and the team’s Technical Director, Phillip Di Fazio.

“We are constantly analysing our past performances, learning valuable lessons, and our meticulous preparations for this year’s race reflect our commitment to overcome the challenges of this legendary circuit.”

Chen expressed, “HubAuto Racing’s return to Bathurst is more than the racing; it’s about our fans in Australia and our determination to conquer the Mount Panorama circuit. We’re thrilled to engage with our Aussie supporters again and set our sights on victory with the Porsche 911 GT3R 992. We can’t wait to hit the track and show our best performance.”

The Bathurst 12Hour race is scheduled to commence at 5:45am (AEDT) on 18 February 2024.
