The new category, organised by Production Car Racing Limited, is quickly gaining interest - with both seasoned and up-and-coming drivers joining the 2023 Monochrome GT4 Australia Championship field.

Monochrome continues to support a number of drivers, teams, and race categories throughout 2023, across GT World Challenge Australia, Monochrome GT4 Australia, and Porsche Carrera Cup Australia.

The firm also partnered with UK-based racing team Bitcoin Racing for the 2023 Porsche Carrera Cup GB season. The team gained worldwide recognition when it was endorsed by the government of El Salvador - the world’s first nation state to recognise bitcoin as legal tender.
