Even one car from the team is a handy addition to the list. Three would be fantastic. There is so much more to be announced on the entrylist |

They say 3 now, but i'll tip one gets here, two at best, based on previous experience of overseas teams announcing grand plans months out for the 12hr and then ultimately not delivering....
I'm still waiting for the Vita4One BMW's to arrive here |

Different this time, they're entered for the whole intercontinental SRO GT3 series so they must be contractually bound in some form to bring those cars over. The 12 Hour isn't a one-off event any longer, it's part of a championship now (sort of).

I wonder what the local Mercedes contingent will look like at the 12 Hour next February.
STM, Griffiths, Hackett/Storey/ Bates? |

He will need to go where Mercedes tell him however it wouldnt be a total surprise to see him turn up in one of the Strakka entries.

SVG not racing in a merc this weekend. So no reason to expect he will be back in one in the 12 hour based on where he raced last 12 hour

He’s not an AMG factory pilot like Engel so he can race wherever he likes. When he raced with McLaren in Blancpain that was a different story as he was a factory driver then. |

Customer supported McLaren.
SVGs deal with Merc was for the IMSA season which has concluded hence the opportunity to race the McLaren. Will be interesting to see if 2018 brings him to Europe or the USA for his GT3 racing |

The Intercontinental GT Challenge which Bathurst has been and is a part of doesn't require specific teams to attend all the rounds. |

Great to have some official confirmation of M Sport returning as they're quite popular with 12hr fans. I doubt anyone will complain about them using the current car as it has its own aural charms
