woodduck97 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
The regs on the GT's appears to be a step forward... the timed/compulsory pit stop thing was confusing, and certainly did the Quinns no favours last year.

Answer me this: If last years rule was one 'seeded' driver per car - how did Lowndes and Luff end up together ? Certainly appears that this year that rule is more sensible, even if what comprises a 'seeded' driver may not be.

Certainly if a factory team was coming and putting all the effort to ship cars out here and spend the money, having to field a 'non seeded' driver with 2 guns may be a put off.

The inclusion of Commodore Cup, Saloon cars, Utes and 3 'invited' categories seems to underscore an element of desperation. It was obvious last year that the event was not embraced by the GT en-masse like it was hoped. Maybe this year with a different structure that may change, but it took an event with nearly 50 cars in production car mode, to 25.. so perhaps in order to grid fill, the organisers have had to cast a wider net. It seems and anybody and everybody policy....
