Countdown to Round 4

Round Four of the Independent Race Series is just over one week away, and the excitement is building about the return of iRace to the fantastic Oran Park venue.

Entries have been rolling in for the event, and it's looking like some healthy fields will be in attendance, the standouts being Muscle Division and Production Racing Cars.

In Production Racing Cars, most of the guns from Round Two are back, and this time out they'll be joined by Graham Lusty in an XR6 Turbo Falcon, and Bryan Fitzpatrick will return in his nimble Renault Clio. Look out for some hot action from this group.

Muscle Division has been swelled by the inclusion of the HDT Cup within the ranks, with plenty of excitement and enthusiasm surrounding the new category. Perhaps one of the most excited is Todd Betland. His Commodore (pictured right and below) has been decked out in Peter Brock colours and livery. Aside from being a gun racing driver, Todd once starred in a Fair Dinkum Sheds commercial alongside Peter Brock. Todd's HDT Cup car is a fitting tribute to the Australian motorsport legend.

Todd will be joined by a number of other competitors who are still waiting for the paint to dry on their racing machines, including Robert Marchese. Robert's car (pictured left) still has some finishing touches to be completed, but he is very keen to get on track.

Other categories in action will be: Touring Car Challenge, Formula Tasman and RocketSports.

The full round schedule will be available shortly. Round Four of the Independent Race Series will take place on the GP layout at the Oran Park venue, with action kicking off 14 August, and concluding 15 August. More information on the round is available here.

For spectators admission will be free. For competitors, entries are still open, so if you want to enjoy this awesome venue, get your entry in asap.
