Unfortunate but with 3 x 40min races James should be able to have a decent crack.

Scudd - any more GT championship outings for yourself in 2014?

According to twitter Muscat just did a 1:13.9 on the bell in Practice 2.

A full second in 1 session isnt bad.

Race 1 to K Quinn from Muscat and T Quinn. Bowe & D'Alberto having a shocker in 17th.

Reload · 5 Jul 2014, 23:21 (Ref:3430717)

Race 2 and what a difference a day makes with JB & TD taking the win from TQ and Muscat. K.Quinn a costly DNF.

Good to see a turn around in fortunes for Bowe and co. Shame this isn't televised as far as I know

Bowe via his facebook suggested that he thought it was 7mate however I had a look at the Electronic Guide and it only has Cup Car, V8 Utes and the Minolta series. 24 mins and then im over to speedweek.

And yet you bag the Bathurst 12 hour?
If you like these cars, get to the 12 hour and see and hear twice as many on our best street/race track!

I thought they were racing at Mt Panorama - not through the streets of Bathurst.

Mt Panorama is now a street circuit?

And yes they are good cars to watch.

Mt Panorama has always been a street circuit. 60km an hour speed limit for the rest of the year.

It just doesnt suit some peoples arguments to think of it that way
