The timetable for the 2026 LIQUI MOLY GT Festival The Bend has been confirmed with a bumper schedule on the cards for the second Shannons SpeedSeries event of the year.
With almost 18 hours of track activity forming part of the three-day meeting, there will be five categories making up the round with an unchanged line-up from the season opener at Phillip Island in March.
Headlining the LIQUI MOLY GT Festival The Bend will be GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS, while Monochrome GT4 Australia, Motocraft Mustang Cup Australia, Ferrari Trofeo Pirelli Challenge Australasia and Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge all feature.
Friday will be the busiest day of the weekend with all five categories having multiple practice sessions, while Saturday and Sunday will see all categories complete their qualifying and races with the exception of Porsche, who sets their grid on Friday afternoon.
GT World Challenge Australia and Monochrome GT4 Australia will continue their traditional weekend format with double Qualifying sessions on Saturday morning before running a race on Saturday and Sunday.
Mustang Cup Australia and Ferrari Challenge follow a similar format, with each having one qualifying and one race on Saturday and Sunday, while Porsche will complete their qualifying and race on Friday afternoon.
For the first time at a Shannons SpeedSeries event, Porsche will have a public grid walk ahead of their final race on Sunday – as will GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS.
The 2026 Shannons SpeedSeries season continues next month with LIQUI MOLY GT Festival The Bend to run at Shell V-Power Motorsport Park on 8-10 May.
