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

Webcast hey?????

Rhys

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 :thumbsup: ) or GT3 Corvette's Entered

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?

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.

    • That's it. Too rich for me. I'm out. If it does start to sell in pieces, I'll probably register an interest in the diff & axles, gearbox & tailshaft, and maybe the brakes.
    • I tried my best, well I see how it is though... It's time to be ruthless! I'll up my bid with a JVC sub and an amp to run it, 8 stainless steel drink coasters with a rubber backing, and a photo of Tom Cruise. Oh, I can increase the cash portion by 20 cents if that helps. 
    • Or if it's grey, is it watery? Does it do it after you've been for like an hour long drive it will still do it, or just near the start of the trip? As GTS said, does it seem like oil (blue), water (white/grey) or fuel (black)? Sometimes the colour can be hard to see clearly too for what it is, as GTS says, what's it smell like?
    • I wonder if part of it has to do with when you've each bought the kits. I honestly have the feeling that the silicon joiners in the 2000s were actually better quality than most of what you can find these days. Even in the same brands. Everyone racing to the cheapest price while still trying to make profit means lower quality parts. For coolant, I personally would be going with rubber, OR, converting the radiator and engine to use the huge AN fittings hose for radiators.
    • If shift solenoid A is bad, that explains limp mode --- now you're in the same position as I mentioned previously, in that the next step is to confirm loom/wiring integrity from TCU to gearbox connector with a multimeter (the TCU cannot detect a broken wire, which can happen ..ie; rodent damage, loom rubbed through)...and then finally measure resistance (at the gearbox connector) for shift solenoid A ... ...once you confirm shift solenoid A is bad (open circuit, really low or greater than 40ohm resistance), then it's a job ; you have buy a complete solenoid set, get under the car and drop transmission oil pan, and remove valvebody assembly (the solenoids sit on top), replace solenoid set, and reassemble....it's not exactly a fun task, but readily doable.
