Dumb. Why put a leash on GT3, at such a place? Will the 12H be bigger than the 1000? Who cares? More exposure is better. Outside of Australia, racers are calling Bathurst, a little Nurburgring. Let them test, get miles, exploit the hell out of it. It'll help when the new track is constructed.
Another thing, I bet Tony Quinn is shaking his head.

This proves the CAMS CEO is nothing short of a complete moron.

 

[Spacegoat]

Sounds like someone at CAMS has their knickers in a knot about older GT3's competing at club level. What a load of absolute crap.

IMSA Porsche GT3 Cup Series Racing is in red flag for over an hour now. Any idea when it will go green?

see what happens? idiots.

He feels that step of the driver development pathway is crucial, while restricting customers to just a handful of events is not enough to justify the costs of purchasing GT3/GT4 race cars.

Russell says the rule change has affected his plans to expand into GT4 now prospective competitors can only contest the Australian GT Trophy Series.

The outfit had received three orders for the new R8 GT4 which have now been put on hold due to the ruling.

“The customers that are currently doing the Australian Trophy Series also want to be be able do selected state series rounds", Troy Russell told Speedcafe.com.

I understand that CAMS’ intention was to stop a GT customer going to a state-level race day and blowing everyone’s doors off,” McConville told Speedcafe.com.

“I’m sure that was the intention, however for us we have two McLaren GT4 customers waiting on cars and they were quite keen to do a bit of state racing because they have never raced before.

“If they are brand new to racing, which our two guys are, they won’t have the appropriate licence which they would normally get by going through state racing

I guess it's taking longer than expected to clean up. I haven't seen any news on it yet though. I hope they have time tomorrow.

And CAMS have called an emergency board meeting to review

I seriously doubt that they'll reverse their decision.

Follow up statement on the IMSA Porsche crash.

 

[Spacegoat]

In brighter Aus GT news. Entries for the 2018 Bathurst 12hr are open from today. Maranello Motorsport have already confirmed their interest in defending their title.

 

[05XR8]

I hope we'll still see plenty of GT4 and TCR entries.

 

[05XR8]

I wish

 

[Spacegoat]

And CAMS have called an emergency board meeting to review

And sanity prevails, as CAMS rescinds the ruling.

I'm sure however, it won't be long before they come with something else just as silly.

I wish

Aus GT need to implement a retro round, immediately.

Missed it, unfortunately. Just looking at the results for the first session on Speedcafe. What the hell happened with Talbot?

Throttle body, it he salvaged positions. He'll have an hour to make it up though.

 

[05XR8]

Ooo big crash by the Bates AMG.

Edit: This race is a mess.

What the hell happened with Talbot?

Everything worked out in the end.

What a pass on the final corner! Great stuff.

Got to feel for Tony Bates though. That was a big hit.
