Im an erebus fan and member. I hate when they say Maro lost his ride because erebus scaled down their operation. The REC was taken away from them! He'd still be on the grid. But, it's cool, he's still in the family.

#63 driver change from Crick to Lebrocq
They're going to stop again to put Davison in the car. So unless we get a safety car, I don't see them finishing any higher than they are. But I hope we get a safety car so SVG can tear it up.

If they really wanted to have engel racing full time this year they could have easily rented one of the three REC's that aren't being used. FFF, TDR or LDM would have been more than happy to lease a REC to them.
 
This was also my first time watching Bathurst. I have one question though. Why 12 and not 24 hours?
I think because there are many events other than the GT's. But not sure. Cost could be a factor too.
Someone in this thread will know for sure.👍

This was a 24hr in '02 and '03 but fell off the radar. They had poor spectator attendance and poor media coverage. I crewed for teams at both of those events and love to see it return to 24hr format. The other thing you need to remember is this is normally a public road and residents are locked in/out during races. With the 12hr format they reopen the road to allow residents in and out.
