Yasser Shahin will attempt to defend his Pro-Am class victory at the Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour this February.
The 911 GT3 R run under 'The Bend' banner also features Shahin’s brother and former Porsche Carrera Cup Australia Pro-Am champion, Sam, plus two experienced but as yet unnamed pro drivers.
Winning Australia’s International Enduro Pro-Am title kicked off a special year for Yasser who went on to claim a Le Mans 24 Hours class win before finishing second in the FIA World Endurance Championship’s LMGT3 standings.
Sam, meanwhile, competed in the F1-supporting Porsche Supercup Championship for the first time, in between a partial national campaign in Porsche Carrera Cup Australia.
Theirs is the first 911 confirmed for this year’s Intercontinental GT Challenge season opener, a race that Porsche won outright last year en route to the IGTC manufacturers’ crown.
