The Nissan GT-R has seemed to have had better results this year. It's been doing good in Blancpain and in PWC.

I'm impressed to see that the Ford GT is still a competitive car even after all these years (debuting around 2007!).
Winning it's class in the KL GT City Cup, and of course, the win at VLN Round 5 (yes, I know it was modified, but still) is impressive for a car of it's age, especially considering that few if any of it's competitors from '07 still show up on track let alone be that competitive.

I would love to see a GT-R racing down here, I know Tony Quinn is a big fan of the car so it's surprising that he hasn't grabbed one himself. Nissan have to be careful not to kill the competition though, considering a large majority of the field are amateur teams fielding gentlemen drivers.

Might not be the best place for this but since there was a lot of discussion about it here back in April The 'Ring to get new safety measures, not speed limits

Not the first time for that car either. I witnessed it have a big crash through the Senna Chicane in Adelaide a few years back. Gotta feel for that team, such a shame. I wonder what happened, did they end up showing a replay?Poor, poor Supaloc Ford GT.Huge crash. Won't be seeing it for a while.

I don't know what happened, but Morgan Haber in the Erebus Merc was closing in behind him prior to Weeks' crash.
I really hope Morgan had nothing to do with but, the speed difference between the 'Pro' drivers and the 'Am' drivers, and with it being the last lap, he might have run the Ford wide on the exit and so on...
Sad to see it crash again. I doubt it would be the easiest car to get parts for. It's great to watch and listen to trackside. Hopefully we will see it again.
Speaking of Aus GT, that Ginetta is a beast! Maybe it's Matt Campbell driving so fast and aggressively, and making too many mistakes atm, but is seems to be damn quick at every track.
Klark Quinn doesn't seem to be as quick in the McLaren as he was over the past few seasons in the Porsche. I was a bit surprised to see that Tony Quinn is leading the championship. I didn't think he was doing that well, but I guess he is

No footage has surfaced so far but Weeks has been hospitalised due to severe chest pain as a result of the crash.

After 2 days of testing and practice and 2 hrs before qualifying the Flying Lizards/KPAX McLaren team has packed up it's cars and is going home over BOP issues. http://www.lizardms.com/news/releases/2015/august-22.html
They ran 9th and 17th in practice. 4 of the top 8 cars were also turbocharged.
If I was a SCCA official I would block the team's transporters from leaving the track until the end of the day since they want to put on show of embarrassing the series by pulling out during the event.

If they genuinely can't run it, they can't be at fault in any way, shape or form. You can't lambaste someone for something physically impossible.
K-Pax are a good team in a strong position. They would not throw away a weekend out of pure spite. I'll wait for the organisers to respond in full, to see what they have to say, but they've presented a pretty clear cut argument for not taking part.

The Mclaren's were fine last year at Miller...isn't the 650S using the same engine? Surprised SCCA BoP'd them differently.

The Blancpain BoP works, hence why it's so widely adopted now. They ran OK-ish in practice, they weren't miles off, so it's hard to believe they had a serious issue with the outright pace of the cars.
The PWC is a bit scrappy at the best of times. I don't think you can comment too much on it at the minute without a proper reply from the organisers, because this sounds like there's more to the story than meets the eye. To me, now, it just sounds like a basic BoP adjustment that wasn't thought through.
