Tickford Racing, Erebus Motorsport, Walkinshaw Andretti United, Team 18 and Kelly Racing now have drivers, crew and cars across the border.
The trek to Sydney Motorsport Park will continue today, where teams will bump into the circuit, set up temporary workshops in the garages, and make the hotel across the road their new home.
