Of course back in the Bathurst 24hr days there was a certain V8 SuperCars category to compete with that was growing in strength year on year.
COTF is just around the corner which could introduce a decline in this categorie, so the timing is now perfect to look at building something else.
I reckon if you surveyed the aussie motorsport / car enthusiast demographic and asked the question;
What would you rather see;
1. Holden/Ford and maybe a couple of other brands such as Hyundai, etc all running mostly identical spec built cars that have very little in common with any car you can buy on the street.
or
2. True Holden/Ford/Chev GT spec muscle cars mixing it with Ferrari, Audi, Lamborghini, Lotus, Nissan, etc GT spec supercars that can be bought and driven on the street.
I reckon you'd get an overwhelming majority choosing option 2.
Plus, you could then look at incorporating this into a true International series, imagine Bathurst as a round of the FIA GT Championship!
