Eight months later, the Benalla Auto Club-managed series has visited circuits in South Australia, Queensland and New South Wales, and attracted a groundswell of support from categories and competitors.

Series manager Wayne Williams said it is fitting for the series to conclude at its spiritual home.

“The first season of the AMRS has had plenty of highlights, on and off the track – the positive response we’ve had from everyone has been overwhelming,” Williams said.

“After a journey that has taken us to some terrific venues, it’s appropriate for us to finish the series back home at Winton, in front of all the BAC members and everyone else who has followed our journey.”

National champions will be crowned in the GT-1 Australia, Legend Cars, IROC Challenge, Mazda RX8 Cup, Aussie Racing Utes, Group 4/Super 6 Touring Cars, Stock Cars and Miniature Race Cars categories.

Additionally, the Victorian-based APRA (Pulsar)/ 2 Litre Sports Sedans and VIC V8s will also hold the final rounds of their respective seasons.

Jake Camilleri comes into the GT-1 decider with a healthy points advantage over Matt Stoupas.

Similarly, James Burge holds a comfortable lead in the Legend Cars Australia Series, but there are as many as five drivers in contention for the title.

The IROC Challenge Series will come down to the wire; Greg Keene opened up a sizeable points margin, but will be absent from Winton, meaning Rohan Little and Sven Burchartz will try to eliminate Keene’s lead.

Mazda RX8 Cup leader Ric Shaw can clinch the title with a good result in the weekend’s first race; Stephen McLaine is the only driver with a mathematical chance of defeating him.

However, the battle for third is tight, with just 15 points separating Nick Dunkley and Will Harris.

Craig McWhite is in the prime position to secure the Miniature Race Cars championship, and titles for Aussie Racing Utes and Super 6 Touring Cars were decided in the previous round.

Gavin Ross only needs to finish one race at Winton to be assured of the Group 4 Touring Car win.

In VIC V8s, Vic Argento will be aiming to clinch his third consecutive title in the category, but he will have to overcome Holden challengers Craig Eddy and Mark Houeix.

Steven Cannizzo holds a 125-point lead over Lee Nuttall in the Victorian APRA Series, and Steve Howard is 103 points clear of his nearest rival in the Two-Litre Sports Sedans.
