I don't have Foxtel or Kayo.

I guess I'll just have to go for a 1 hour drive on cruise control and see it all in 3D.

SRO Motorsports Australia and Motorsport Australia announce new national racing series

SRO Motorsports Australia will take a lead role as the promoter for a premier national circuit racing series from 2025

At first I was thinking GT2, but I've got no idea.

I see that as an announcement that the SRO are replacing the Shannon's Speed Series as Promoter.

To be lead by the local GT3 & GT4 categories, it remains to be seen how many, if not all, categories under the Shannons umbrella make it across the off season.

Damn! Those times make Friday a very long day at the track.
 
Saturday as well. I want to go, but geez. Sunday would be ideal, but I want to watch GT3 as well.

Really don’t feel like driving back home after all that. My niece lives 15 minutes from the track, brother-in-law 20 minutes from the track, but I’m not staying overnight in Sydney. Even though it’ll take me under two hours to get home.

I've only ever spent longer than 12 hours at a racetrack once, and that was as a Flag Marshall for a 24hr race at Winton.

I would go on the Saturday purely for the GT3 category, but that is a very long day no matter how keen for the attraction.

'New, old' Group A Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth breaks cover

THE Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth is an iconic car in the history of Group A touring car racing worldwide and now there’s a fresh batch of ‘new, old’ cars

I notice that the Rouse cars specify a 10' diff centre, an upgrade over the 9' all the Australian spec cars used.
The 9' had an unbreakable reputation locally... until Andrew Miedecke broke a race-spec housing in half in 1988.

Also, the Australian cars were allowed to upgrade from the 5-speed Getrag, to a Hollinger 6-speed from 1 January 1991.
 
Still, "small" power figures compared to the DJR cars. ;)

On a different production series. Cant wait to see this. Been following as much as I can. Will be a beast when on track.

Yes, my thoughts exactly.

As I began reading about the project, it didn't take me long to wish for a DJR version at its peak, as a personal preference.

If anyone needs reminding, search for and watch Dick's lap in the 1992 Bathurst shoot-out.
That's a Group A Sierra wound as tight as you'll ever see.
 
Ain’t that the truth. Honda pulling out of TCR was pretty much the closing curtain. I don’t think a new Peugeot is going to help matters either. Such a shame. So much potential and way too late to make a multi-class with GT4. Which TCR might have had better luck joining with GT4 in the Production car series post COVID.

Anyway, GT4 is looking to have a much better steady run.

The new Pug is a good example.

GRM was given the contract to build & develop the new Peugeot, but there hasn't been a lot of noise about it, positive or otherwise.
No sales. No word about them building another. Bugger all.

Don't be surprised to see TCR cars coming on the market for sale, or offers to lease or run.

Any major damage requiring a rebuild, could see an exit rather than an investment to repair.

I certainly wouldn't want to be left holding the goose that once promised to lay the golden egg.

Oh boy!

Mustangs double up in largest Monochrome GT4 Australia field so far

Monochrome GT4 Australia will welcome its largest field of the year thus far as it heads to Sydney Motorsport Park for the penultimate round of 2024 season

Just need Supra and Vantage.

This is really great and a total reversal of the trend being seen in GT3.

Could be more than a few using SMP as a test to iron out any bugs & blow the cobwebs of their rides in readiness for Bathurst.
Wishing them all a trouble-free weekend.

Now that Toyota/GR are stepping up their involvement with Supercars, let's hope some common sense prevails and a Supra GT4 satellite program on some level sees the light of day.
 
Seriously. Having the GR86 program flow from that to GT4 as not everyone will get a chance to go straight to Supercars. Toyota should extend that four cars on a grid to GT4 as well.

Well, that’s telling for Lachi Mineeff to say he’s got an Audi TCR for sale and loving it in GT4.
Racing was good early on, but the pit stop stationary time seems like it needs a bit of adjusting.

Just the start of a trend in my opinion.
