The announcement:

Australian cryptocurrency exchange platform CoinSpot will make its Australian motorsport debut supporting Fraser Ross and Liam Talbot in the GT World Challenge Australia Powered by AWS at Mount Panorama next month.

The race winning duo will share a brilliant blue and orange CoinSpot Audi R8 LMS Evo GT3 run out of the Audi Sport Customer Racing Australia stable.

CoinSpot is Australia’s largest cryptocurrency exchange with over two million customers allowing members to easily deposit, access, and trade over 300 cryptocurrencies.

Ross and Talbot will also be supported by Dutton Garage, Dutton One, and Hardy Brothers.

The Bathurst event will be the first time Ross and Talbot have joined forces, bringing together experienced, race winning performance from both drivers.

It will also be Ross’ first taste of an Audi R8 LMS Evo, while Talbot has most recently been piloting a Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo, which shares many of the same internals as the Audi.

Both drivers have a strong pedigree in GT3 competition, with Ross having enjoyed previous success at Mount Panorama, winning the Silver Class at the 2020 Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hour.

The Victorian has strong pedigree behind the wheel of a range of machinery, including victories driving a McLaren 650S GT3, and the first McLaren 720S GT3 win globally.

Talbot has enjoyed class success at the Bathurst 12 Hour, and was victorious in the 2016 Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup.

He’s twice finished runner-up in the Australian GT Championship, and most recently has campaigned in the Asian Le Mans Series, where he is also a race winner.

The adaptable pair will join forces out of the championship-winning Audi Sport Customer Racing stable, which has established itself as a leading force in GT3 racing in Australasia.

Mount Panorama hosts the final round of the 2021 GT World Challenge Australia presented by AWS across November 30 to December 5.
