Thats some bad news as I think they were one of the main teams in the Brit GT.
And a shame to hear about the Mantis as well.
The Brabham NSX . Are there any pis of it anywhere?

Hmmm... They managed to survive a whole race that they were purpose built for and only really put the foot down once no one else had a chance.
How good is that? That's crap.
The vast majority of the other cars were really racing, that was good to watch.

 

[Craze-Chopper]

um no its not crap.....
too show the superiority of the 427's went the whole almost always on the lead lap and then after almost 24 hours of non stop racing the were still able to give and exciting race between the 2 427's risking crashing and possiably not even placing at all.

and the vast majority of the other cars where PRODUCTION cars, not purpose built race cars

The Bathurst 24HR is, ATM, nothing more than a publicity run for those two RACE cars

which is why they were enjoyable to watch -- there was real competition between them.

It would of been a better race if there were car's that could keep up to the monaro's.

Sorry Glut the first part of my post you quoted mustve came out all wrong, wasnt supposed to sound like that

On another note, the Monaros er Race cars may be going to Le Mans next year, better there than here IMO
