GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • ALICE BUCKLEY makes her highly anticipated return to the Trans Am Championship at the Adelaide 500 finale after missing rounds due to injury, joining a field that’s grown to 23 cars—up from 22 in 2024—showing the series’ continued momentum and her determination to get back behind the wheel.
  • The championship battle heads into its final round with Todd Hazelwood holding a 75-point lead over Jordan Herne, while the grid features an interesting mix of veterans and rookies including Tyler Cheney making his series debut and Edan Thornburrow returning to GRM’s #31 car after James Golding’s Supercars commitments.
  • Thornburrow brings international experience to Adelaide after racing TA2 cars at iconic American tracks like Sebring and Road Atlanta earlier this year, and will be racing in honor of the late Garry Rogers in what marks his first GRM round since Rogers’ passing—adding emotional weight to an already significant weekend.

UPCOMING:

  • Trans Am Practice 1 & 2, Qualifying – Thursday
  • Trans Am Race 1 – Friday 12:05pm
  • Trans Am Races 2 & 3 – Saturday/Sunday
