Speedcafe has sought clarification regarding their absence.<\/p>\n<p>It is understood that Rintoule and Hughes may return for the subsequent rounds at Sydney and Sandown.<\/p>\n<p>The popular duo picked up their first race win at The Bend. A tough outing at QR followed, which included a disqualification from Sunday\u2019s race that left them ninth in the Silver Cup standings.<\/p>\n<p>While the Silver Cup loses a race-winning pair, the Silver-Am ranks are bolstered by the return of two championship-contending Ford Mustangs.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Seton and Jason Gomersall will be back on track in the #1 <a

Campbell also returns having announced his withdrawal from the series prior to QR, this time with proven race winner Cody Burcher alongside.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>With three rounds remaining heading into Darwin, tight championship battles are expected for all three classes.<\/p>\n<p>Reigning champion Tom Hayman and co-driver Jett Murray enter Darwin with the Silver Cup lead, however just 17 points cover the top five.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron McLeod\/Mason Harvey, while yet to pick up their first win, sit just nine points away from the lead.<\/p>\n<p>With three Mustangs in the top five, Hidden Valley\u2019s signature 1.1km pit straight may play into the blue oval\u2019s favour.<\/p>\n<p>However, how the circuit\u2019s unique blend of flowing sections, its tight hairpin, and the main straight affects different GT4 manufacturers remains an unknown quantity.<\/p>\n<p>While Ryder Quinn sits comfortably atop the Silver-Am standings, the battle for second place is heating up.<\/p>\n<p>Just 10 points covers second through fifth, and with third place Tony Quinn and Matt McCutcheon set to miss Darwin, Lachie Evennett\/Andrew Torti and Caleb Patterson sit primed to move up.<\/p>\n<p>The Am Cup has begun to morph into a two horse race, with the Method Motorsport pair of Chris Lillis\/Nathan Callaghan leading the way by just 10 points over Gomersall Motorsport\u2019s Glenn Walker.<\/p>\n<p>Monochrome GT4 Australia Track Schedule (ACST)<\/p>\n<p>Friday July 24<br \/>Practice 1: 2:45pm \u2013 3:25pm<br \/>Practice 2: 4:40pm \u2013 5:20pm<\/p>\n<p>Saturday July 25<br
