JONNY Reid won\u2019t be the only Kiwi former Supercars driver coming out of the woodworks for the Aussie GT season finale this weekend at Hampton Downs.<\/p>\n

Reid, who made his Bathurst 1000 debut in 2003 and a decade later had a short-lived full-time stint with Dick Johnson<\/a> Racing, is sharing an Audi R8 LMS Evo II with Sam Fillmore<\/a> in GT World Challenge Australia.<\/p>\n

Also in the 14-car field will be Ant Pedersen, aboard a Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo with Shane Smollen.<\/p>\n

Pedersen made seven main game starts, all in enduros between 2010 and 2015, for a best return of 11th with Andr\u00e9 Heimgartner<\/a> in the 2014 Great Race.<\/p>\n

On the GT4 side of things, Daniel Gaunt will pop up to partner Tony Quinn in a Toyota Supra.<\/p>\n

Gaunt accumulated 30 Supercars Championship races across 2008-13, made up of solo starts for Team Kiwi Racing and Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport plus enduro co-drives for Stone Brothers Racing and Kelly Racing.<\/p>\n

As far as outright title equations go, Jaxon Evans<\/a>\/Elliott Schutte are in the box seat in GT World Challenge Australia with a 30-point lead over Broc Feeney<\/a>\/Brad Schumacher; it\u2019s far tighter in GT4 Silver Cup, with Max Geoghegan<\/a>\/Tom Hayman just seven points up on Rylan Gray<\/a>\/George Miedecke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JONNY Reid won\u2019t be the only Kiwi former Supercars driver coming out of the woodworks for the Aussie…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":252344,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,806,805,803,804,85],"class_list":["post-252343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252343"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252343\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
