peckstar has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!

Townsville, because of the long haul nature getting the transporters there and back consumes both time and money, commodities that even the most well off of the Gentlemen Racers have to consider, is a big commitment.
Add to that the Street Circuit nature of the venue which can make a minor off into an expensive rebuild and you have a good case fore not going.
One practice and qualification as preparation time for 3 40 min races also ls not very good for guys with limited regular seat time to set up for a rather different circuit.
Personally I think playing second fiddle to the Taxis is not the best option for GT.
I guess we will find the answer to many of those points at SMP

definitely there are some drivers who are only doing the enduros, and i guess there may be some who are only doing the sprints
