Robert Ryan should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Chucky,
Yes I am taking in the SCCA regional events. That is where racing in Australia becomes very impressive. Mentioning to a SCCA organisers on the phone the car counts and types of cars we get ,at say the Vic State rounds, nearly made him nearly fall of his chair. They have quite a few local meetings where they get as low as 6 cars to a race!!
The numbers Victoria gets is bigger than quite a few of their regional runoffs, where 220 is the norm. The National Runoffs get about 1000 cars, the classes are similar to ours, but they seem for some strange reason to run what we would call historics in their production Sportscar classes.

Chucky agree the DP's are quite affordable. The budget to run them is less than what you would fork out for a V8Supercar. Also there are only 24 of them.

John Teulan has his opinions I was actually referring to Marcos Ambrose and John Telaun's seperate opinions and a US friends summing up of the car's potential.
