Bathurst 12 Hour 2011

[Whiplash]

Coming in just a few weeks,

This year promises to raise the level with the GT cars now included in the line up, plenty of exotic machinery to take part.

Today the Donut King GTR confirmed as a starter in with the likes of Audi R8's, Lamborghini's, Mosler's, Ferrari's and plenty of Porsche's

Further add the production car and should be a great mix of motorsport.

Just hope everyone can keep it clean for the race and stay off the walls.

TV and Webcast to be finalized in the coming week

Will have to double check, the web cast last year was pretty popular (considering 8 hours was under safety car in the torrential rain)

had live twitter feeds attached from teams, race control. Very informative.

2x Ferrari team to be announced in the next couple of days. John Bowe behind the wheel of one, and the 2nd a British GT team.

The Mark Eddy Audi will be quick with Mr Lowndes behind the wheel.

Further the Vodka O Mosler will be quick, was involved in trying to organize a few more Mosler's but we ran out of time.

Last i heard no Ford GT GT3's (currently have 4 for sale if anyone is interested ) or GT3 Corvette's Entered

You don't need lube... All I did was toy with his nuts and tweak his toes...

I was asked to drive for Kennard in his Spec C STi (the ex-Denyer car from 2007) but decided against it, one reason being my lack of experience with MUCH quicker cars overtaking. I think that woulda been frightening on Conrod with Deano is his Mosler banging my wing mirrors off with a 100klm/h speed difference.

Kennard has decided to share a car with Herridge instead of trying to put his own crew together.

Hopefully its a great event with minimal incidents!

I can certainly see that point of view benno. I agree it would be not much fun tootling down conrod in a prod car slowing inching your way towards 200km/h as you check your temps, change the CD etc and 2 GT spec cars dicing for a podium give you the short back and sides at nearly 300km/h. definite brown moment. maybe they can provide a cool suit hooked up to a nappy that can also pump in reverse to clear any.... ummm... waste?

[Marlin]

It's a CAMS event so they won't allow a more simple and foolproof method of simply installing a hole in the bottom of the seat aligned with a hole in the car's floor. Already checked.

From what I hear, entries are just into the double digits. Organiser asking past participants, who'd previously been told, "don't call us, we'll have a GT grid", now being courted.....I doubt there's the financial resources of a Ross Palmer to prop up the show, should numbers not materialize either.....but with the allure of Bathurst, might be a last minute rush of the miffed.
