the sakers ran in the intermarque during 05 not sure which category they will be entered in this year. Going to be a good year when it kicks off in two weeks

have fun there gtstcruiser67, enjoy watching some boosted 911's running out there, Wayne Hennigs and John Goods 996 GT2R's are very nice

Wounder if the Z-Tune could fit into a class.

[gtstcruiser67]

The Saker is running in the supersports category. The blue one is owned by the man who own two GTR's one of which he is planning to run in the 12hr.I will find out more on sunday.

I had 4 hotlaps in the blue saker at the Wakefield Motorsport Expo...unbelievable.

Yes the Ztune can run in intermarque and super tin tops

bit of a horrible start to the year with only 7 cars involved.

there are roughly 10 - 16 cars that aren't there this weekend due to Clipsal preparation and an endurance race at EC.

calder is expecting much higher grid sizes

[Whiplash]

ok the series is starting to slowly build up.

calder had some great racing that was shown on SBS last sunday a race long battle between a 993 GT2 and a Ac cobra kit car trading places 2 times a lap, made for some great viewing.

some more interesting cars are starting to appear out of the woodwork and Winton should see a GTR if not 2, as well as a F*&^ING GREAT car currently en route to Australia (not that i'm excited)

Yep, was at this round at calder spectating, very exciting to watch, that orange cobra had some mumbo down the straight!!!!! But the Porsche had him in the corners, they changed positions 20 times in the ten lap race and the cobra won by a tenth of a second over the porsche after ten laps....

The cobra is a Python built by George Vidovick, its been around awhile, was raced in margue sports with success.

Porsche competitor John Kaias is said to be looking at a GT3 spec Aston Martin. AFAIK no decision has been made yet and certainly nothing official. - ten tenths forum
