Chasing photos of the Falken Tyres GTR & Maserati Shamal that competed in the Bathurst 12hr races. I have been told that I am wasting my time, but in these wonderful days of the internet, i doubt that is the case!

The drivers were Keith Carling/Bill Gillespie/Graham Neilsen

Mate the only photo I have ever seen was published in the 1993 edition of Australian Motor Racing Yearbook. It shows the car after it has had a lose just over Skyline. The photo is accredited to Greg Taylor & Chevron publishing. Maybe you could email Chevron.

Alternatively, try www.oldracephotos.com (Maybe .au aswell, can't remember).

Other than that Auto fiction/Motorsport News may have something.

how was it Russell? what was the course like? worth doing next year?

i heard people talking before the event that they expected the road to break up.

what's your next event? I'd like to come and have a look at your beast in action sometime!

Brendan, there are a few spots left for Time Attacks sprints at Lakeside this Saturday. If it is quiet enough you should give it a hit out.

I'll be there!

I sound tested it today & came in at 90.6 db so I'm all good to go.

Are you going too?
