Cameron Waters drives the Porsche 911 GT3 R Gen II for Dutton EMA Motorsport
Dutton EMA Motorsport has launched a new GT program led by Tickford Racing supercars ace Cameron Waters.
After joining the Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia this year, the organization is now expanding its horizons with a step into the Fanatec GT World Challenge Australia Powered by AWS series.
That’ll come to life next month at Sandown International Motor Raceway for Round 4, before the final two events of the year at Tailem Bend and Mount Panorama make up the Australian Endurance Championship sub-series.
Armed with a Porsche 911 GT3 R Gen II, Waters and Ben Stack will be the team’s designated professional and amateur drivers, respectively.
Stack has already contested two rounds of the Carrera Cup Australia for the squad this year.
Mathew Nilsson, team manager for Dutton EMA Motorsport, said the announcement went on for months.
“Our Porsche 911 GT3 R program has been running for a long time, with a lot of effort behind the scenes,” he said.
“Hiring a professional rider of the caliber and professionalism of Cam was a major achievement. We welcome him to our team and look forward to working with him. “
Waters, who won the last race of the Repco Supercars Championship in Townsville in 2021, has some GT experience after taking part in the Bathurst 12 Hours in 2018 aboard a Mercedes-AMG GT3.
“Since 2018 I want to do more GT sport,” said the 26-year-old.
“The diversification into different categories creates new disciplines and challenges, and I can hardly wait to drive the Porsche product and fight for race wins.”
A number of Supercars drivers compete in the GT World Challenge Australia, with Garth Tander and Yasser Shahin leading the Pro / Am standings in 2021.
Chaz Mostert is also a regular, as is Shane van Gisbergen – although Triple Eight Race Engineering had to use Jamie Whincup as an injury sub at Phillip Island and then Broc Feeney at Tailem Bend due to a scheduling conflict with supercars.
The upcoming Sandown Round, part of a Shannons Motorsport Australia Championships event, will take place September 17-19.
