Bathurst to host TA2 Southern Series finale

The PROMAXX Performance Exhausts TA2 Muscle Car Southern Series will conclude this weekend with the third and final round of the regional series held alongside the National Trans-Am Series at the Bathurst 1000.

Following a successful round alongside the National Trans-Am Series at Phillip Island, the TA2 Muscle Car Series will join the Trans-Am field again for their final event at the week-long Bathurst 1000 festival, Australia’s biggest annual motorsport event.

After a strong performance at Sydney Motorsport Park and Phillip Island, Nash Morris leads Graham Smith and Chris Pappas in the points, however with those three absent from Bathurst the Southern Series title will be fought over between Michael Coulter, Zac Loscialpo, Jason Hassett and Mark Crutcher.

On 90 points, Coulter is the effective leader in the standings by only one point from Loscialpo, with Hassett a further two points behind in effective third with Loscialpo one point behind Hassett. They will join Jett Johnson as TA2 regional series champions in 2021.

Loscialpo was the quickest of the Southern Series runners in Qualifying on Tuesday, setting the seventh fastest time of the 19-car field at a 2:15.1669. Crutcher was 13th fastest from Coulter in 14th and Hassett in 19th on his Mount Panorama debut.
