That's a shame, but was expected. The injury sounds worse now too...painful!

 

[05XR8]

Yeah. However, the sister car had a good run.

So... New Zealand now has 3 world class racing facilities while Australia has half a world class facility..... Great looking track,

 

[05XR8]

Well, no doubt the race should be interesting

It's a really nice track!

Suprized to see a Camaro on the grid. So far so good, just one silly moment from an older Audi.

 

[05XR8]

Bumpy circuit. Still not stopping them from being aggressive though. Early days, but the GT-R is in a good position.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Anyone else like the first Audi R8 front fascia more than the new one?

 

[NW48]

Well, the Simmons/Caruso GT-R has coped some heavy damage to the front. Day may not be done, but the chance for the win is looking like it's up in smoke.

 

[CodeRedR51]

And with that I watch something else.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

I like the flow of the track, but like the commentators said there aren't many places to pass and like an F1 car it's even harder the closer you get.

 

[05XR8]

Oh well.

 

[05XR8]

At least the Walkinshaw 911 got 2nd.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Is the Mustang GT or GT350R, homologated for GT4?

Bumping old comment because THIS.

Ford now offering turn key GT4 spec Mustangs.

B12H? How about Supercars in 2018?

I mean, it's got #17 on the side for a reason, right?

That would be one bloody slow Supercar.

CBS Sports Network shown this Year in Review show of the 2016 season of Blancpain GT racing recently. While I do miss the big bruisers of the former FIA GT1 World Championship, these GT3 style cars are still quite fun to watch and very competitive.

Was dreaming of seeing a Courtney/Pye/Martin lineup for the 12hr. But with the way Burgess is talking about the car's BOP in that article and Talbot being entered as the driver for the challenge. I'd hazard a guess, that they're looking at the Pro-Am category for the race?

Either or.

Burgess did however confirm the operation is looking at ‘experienced’ pilots with the roster to be finalised once the squad decides whether to enter the Professional or Pro-Am class.

Your lineup would be better. I'd like to see that lineup. Pye and Courtney haven't had a run in the car. Would be tight to ge trial in at this stage. Dunno if Pye would have been available to test, before the end of the year(contract wise) though.

 

[Spacegoat]

Either or.

Yeah, I did see that. Maybe, Talbot is getting the drive for the challenge with an eye to expanding to a second Porsche next year?

Pye and Courtney haven't had a run in the car.

That's the flaw. Not sure what the testing regulations are in the GT series but maybe they could give them a run at Winton or somewhere?

Though as you said Pye probably won't be available until the new year.

Let's start taking bets. I say Paul Morris.

“I have a tip that at least one of the recently announced Mustang GT4s will be ordered

I like this too

“I have a tip that... there is talk about a couple of BMWs also being involved.
