Tasmanian teen Harry Bresnehan and experienced racer John Goodacre are both last-minute confirmations among the field.<\/p>\n

Bresnehan is part of Nick Percat\u2019s JND Racing karting operation and will race under the team\u2019s banner at The Bend.<\/p>\n

The car will be supported by Ryan McLeod\u2019s RM Race Cars, which has slotted Goodacre into its own line-up of entries.<\/p>\n

Goodacre replaces former Supercars co-driver Tyler Everingham, who scored a podium at the opening round.<\/p>\n

Jack Perkins will head into Round 2 as a strong favourite amid the absence of the other star names from Phillip Island.<\/p>\n

Garry Rogers Motorsport and its line-up of James Golding, Aaron Cameron and James Moffat competed in the 15-car field at the Island as a one-off.<\/a><\/p>\n

Phillip Island finale winner Cam McLeod was a last-minute addition to that event and is also missing from The Bend entry.<\/p>\n

The total of 11 Dark Horse Rs set to compete at The Bend is only one more than the Mustang representation in the GT4 Australia class.<\/p>\n

Eighteen of the Mustangs \u2013 plus the Safety Car and a Ranger Super Duty support vehicle \u2013 gathered for a family photo at the circuit on Thursday.<\/p>\n
