Was it? I had always understood and felt that Yeehahs intentions were to push commercial aspects of the event.

Remember that the BMF existed in 2005 & 2006 without the 12 hr - it was added as feedback from the 'punters' was that they wanted more racing & less parades

How long before Hi-Tec attempts to muscle the current organisers out and call it their own, like they've done with other events they've been involved with?

3E Production Cars are eligible for AMChamps as far as i know, but the Bathurst 6hr isn't an AMChamp round.

AMCHAMP numbers are on the decline sadly. I think the next round in QLD will have very low entry numbers.

Yet the numbers for the NSW state events are on the rise.

We've purchased a 3E car now specifically for this 6HR event. I can't wait for it.

But I will also be interested to see what happens with AMCHAMPS next year. Fingers crossed the 6hr will give a boost to the series in some way as there is a lot of interest gathering around the event.

Just wait, I hear whispers from a very reliable source about a Tasman revival style meeting at Mount Panorama.

If V8$upercars **** the 12 Hr, this is well worth the drive from Brisbane.
I'll see how the 2016 12 hr goes, then make the decision for 2017.

Based on V8$upercars record, I'm not condfident.

Hey peeps, not sure if anybody here can help but I wanted to throw my hat into the ring to spanner on a car for the 6hr, does anybody here know of a NSW based car who might do with an extra body?

Have owned my own HQ and crewed on sports sedans, historics and sprintcars... Been out of the game for a while (got married - bad trade).

Any leads appreciated?

If you are on Facebook jump onto the NSW Production Touring page and ask there. Word will get passed around.

Really looking forward to this race with tickets, accommodation, travel etc booked but a bit mystified about the TV ad.

There's not one car in the ad that is on the entry list so far.

Marc Focus's are not even eligible yet they may up the majority of the ad.

Hopefully the 12 hour winning BMW will join in...

I saw something on the news about an action between the Bathurst Council and the FOSC and the Council won and was seeking $2M in legal fees from the FOSC.

Unfortunately I only saw the end of the item so no other details to give. Does anyone know any more?

I think you are actually referring to the Trackcorp 'Drive Bathurst' V BRC matter that has just been resolved in favour of BRC.
Plenty of info on the internet.
Trackcorp were seeking over $4 m from the council relating to their refusal to accede to the extension option that was evidently in the contract-guess Council had pretty sound reasons for taking the stance they took and it appears that the courts agree.
The Drive Bathurst days were for the well healed wanting to do laps of the iconic track as well as in the early days people like Alan Heaphy using it to test the Evos he would run in the 12hour a few months later.

Thanks old fart. As I noted I only saw the end of the TV item where they mentioned a Mt Panorama organiser. I coludn't see anything about it on the Bathurst Council website. So my post was more a request for info.
