In the past month, we have suffered numerous and considerable delays in the shipping of our car and equipment from Asia. We have worked tirelessly with Supercars, SRO, the freight companies, the New South Wales Government, as well as other local and international GT teams to be present and ready to challenge for the Bathurst 12 Hour.

Unfortunately, circumstances beyond our control have led us to withdraw from the event. We apologise for the disappointment this may cause our supporters. We were looking forward to returning to Bathurst and now hope to participate in 2025.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all involved parties for their invaluable support and assistance.” Chen said.
