Im also a bit worried about the entry numbers.. entries were supposed to be closed Dec 23 and they haven't announced the entry list yet. Be a shame if there were only 20 odd cars
My moneys on a certain 1 series BMW with four drivers, one of which possess extreme driving skill. All we know is he's called Clips. He will eClipse the competition.
Sambo not racing, the Vee's will be there. My old Team mate Matt should do well if things go his way. Will be quite exciting - Vee's down conrod is great to watch, lots of darting and diving. Then the 24 hours, which will feature Clips. He is going to be well preped for this race. He's a great driver and great team player - this event is well suited to him. Hopefully I will make it up to see him in action!

Those GT3 cars think they are so good just because they have an extra 300kw and racing slicks.....But I'll show them who's Boss
Entry list is out. Production car numbers have taken an enormous hit!
I cant help but be dissapointed with the outright gt numbers either. With so many gt3 cars in the country it genuinely sucks that they havnt commited to the race. I know there are enormous costs involved but the state of australian motorsport outside of v8's disapoints me.

I am too. I did have high hopes for this, as a full-scale endurance racing is what this country lacks. I was hoping this would open the door to some more endurance events around the country for the GT guys.
Of course, this was a production car event first, and as far as i've heard they aren't happy, so i'm not surprised to see a lack of entries from them. Doesn't excuse the lack of GT entries though.

Haha I'll try my hardest, actually he raced in a Yaris at the 6hr and and he was slow as buggery, but was really good because watched his mirrors the whole race and got right out of the way everytime anyone faster came past.
The entry list is a bit disappointing but having said that there are about the number of GT3 cars I was expecting, but its the lack of proddy cars thats really disappointing (but not entirely unexpected)
