It will surely confuse a lot of people, thinking "how come there's a classic Porsche in the field".

Are we talking the same people who for years have watched the Opel Manta?

A Manta is like Morgan Freeman, it has no age, only a swag existence.

Clipsal this weekend. Can't. Wait to see that M6 and AMG GT.

Pretty nasty looking hit. Is there any video of this incedent? Wish I had a spare GT3-R

Aww too bad about the AMGs. It is awesome to see that Montecalvo finally got bumped to GT. And GTS looks like it will be better than ever this year!

So freaking pumped!!!!

I don't know if there's any footage online but I caught footage on TV. It was a pretty nasty shunt in the Senna Chicane.

Q1 for the AGT was pretty tame. Expecting faster times during Q2 later this afternoon, it's quite warm here this afternoon so the setting sun will improve those lap times.

Doesn't feel right watching footage on TV though. I haven't actually watched live footage from this event for well over a decade. Can't wait to get there early on Saturdsy to catch the GT cars out on track for Race 2.

The M6 look like it will punch the other cars in their grills.
While the AMG GT, from the front, reminds me of the Vision GT car. Looks nasty in matte black. Makes the SLS look soft.

 

[GTracer38]

The AMG-GT3 looks wicked on track! As does the M6.

A shame Griffith already put some damage on the new Merc...

I hope it looks real nice. I wasn't a fn of the Darrel Lea livery.

That Kremer Porsche is automatically eligible for VLN's Group H class for historic vehicles, as the underlying 997 Cup car *cough* is over ten years old.

I'd rather gold centers but, looks cool as is.

The Team Studie BMW Z4 had sweet wheels as well. Easily was one of the best looking Z4's.

Roger Lago won the first AusGT Championship race in his Gallardo.

A safety car hurt teams who had the pro driver in at the start, and Roger was quicker then expected.

Also, there was a great live TV moment when we were onboard with Antunnes in the McLaren. He was following Morcom (?) when Greg Taylor spun his Audi infront of them both on the exit of T7. It was a near miss, I'll try to get a clip and post it hear later

Heikotter! go go go!

bah... Full Course Caution

They sure do take their time removing stuff on the track.

Dragging that Porsche off the track rather than put it on a flatbed was not the best idea either.

 

[IforceV8]

It only took 2 laps under caution to clean that up.

Which wouldn't be a problem if it was a distanced race instead of a timed race.

So what is your idea to fix that?

Don't take 5 minutes to send someone out to pick up a wing and utilize access routes around the track.

And what about that car with the broken front wheel that was towed away? Just leave it?
