TV ALERT:

Make sure you're tuned into Channel 7 Sunrise tomorrow (Wednesday) morning - Mark Beretta will have some big Bathurst 12 Hour news and a special guest, too!

#B12hr

I won't be watching it, but I'm sure there will be a feature, on the Liqui-Moly site.

Not really a fan of that Mustang. Like the Camaro, Corvette and previous Mustang, I'm not a big fan of the GT3 cars that aren't made through the Manufacturer. The just seem less official and legitimate to me.

I agree with the sentiment but I also like the added variety it creates. Plus the well executed examples (Reiter Gallardo and Callaway Corvette) fit in pretty well (imo).

I agree. I'd definitely take that over no Mustang. There was a C6 GT3 in the 12H. At least there was one.

Ford makes a Ford GT race car, but we won't see it in GT3. However, there was one made at the start of GT3.

Alpina made the M6. I'm glad BMW finally made one.

If Ford decide to make a Mustang GT3, cool. For now, at least we can see one race. Plus, in my eyes, it's not bad.

Reiter also made the Sareni Camaro which looks pretty cool,
The ford GT is made and run by Chip Ganassi Racing, the Bentley GT3 is made by M-Sport who also make fords rally cars, Prodrive make the Aston Martin GT3 and Riley Technologies made the Viper GTE/ GTLM and Viper GT3, Pratt & Miller make the Corvette GTE and the Cadillac GT3 in PWC, most of these cars that you guys love aren't made by the manufacturer themselves,

Correction, the Ford GT LMGTE is made by Multimatic in Canada, Ganassi simply run the cars in the WSCC (while Multimatic run the WEC effort in conjunction with Ganassi). And Pratt & Miller is essentially GM, it might as well be GM frankly. Point made though.

Either way, they took a great looking Ford GT and ruined it!

The big news on Sunrise is that the 12hr (and the shootout) will be broadcast on 7mate.

Guess I'll be streaming it.

I take that back. But geez, him hosting it? 👎

 

[LumpiestFish]

Hopefully it all is a bit more professional and though through this year. Last year it just seemed like a total after thought for Channel 7.

You can add that Multimatic make the Aston's and Mustangs used here in the USA as well.

I thought Pro-Drive made the GT4 Aston's? I know they do the Mustang, but the Aston's I thought were just the GT4 one's purchased from Pro-Drive (since Pro-Drive is responsible for all Aston Martin Racing efforts - GT4, GT3, GTE).

Liking that livery, a lot. Great colour scheme.

Another really strong driver lineup too.

I should have stated they have made the Aston's as well. Remember these a few years ago?

Last year one was still being used by Automatic Racing in their 2 car effort.

Chiyooooooooo!

Oh my god that means we can expect him to pass like 30 cars in one lap and take the lead at the end of it

I voted for them twice. Once from home, once from work.

Real tough choice between Porsche and Bentley for me.

I went with Porsche.

 

[twitcher]

I voted for Nissan because of Chiyo-San Hope to see him work some magic again this year.

I went with Porsche.

I would like to go for BMW or Porsche, but finally seeing multiple Nissan GTRs on the grid is cool.

More Godzilla's have landed down under.

More Godzilla's have landed down under.

That has got to be the biggest rear end in all of motor racing.

Is it a Kelly Racing car or the Wall Racing car?

Nice!

I've been checking their twitter regularly but it hasn't been updated since the GT-R's were shipped.

I wish it wasn't his team, but can't fully knock him for bringing them over.
