Up the front will be a real battle with Rentsch, Howells, Gartner, brother Beau Robinson and a host of others all in with a big chance for outright honours.  For SMU Racing it will be about finishing and hopefully collecting some points in the process with the team scheduled in for at least the first three AORC rounds for 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/smuracing.com.au\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_4735.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/smuracing.com.au\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_4735-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2248\" srcset=\"http:\/\/smuracing.com.au\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_4735-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, http:\/\/smuracing.com.au\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_4735-300x225.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/smuracing.com.au\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_4735-768x576.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/smuracing.com.au\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_4735-624x468.jpeg 624w, http:\/\/smuracing.com.au\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_4735.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A massive thank you to all of our partners before embark on 2022.
