If it was going to be a factory effort, who would run it as the factory team? Would it go to Kellys, or another local GT team, or would NISMO setup shop here?

Wasn't Mr Quinn talking about a possible BMW alignment a while ago? (That car gets me mildly aroused by the way)

Hearing that tomorrows BMW announcement will confirm what was mentioned on the Speedcafe article. Two Factory backed BMWs for Aus GT... But not under the one team.
One will be in Quinns bunker the other car will be run by a team that currently races in V8 Supercars  All will be revealed tomorrow

Could the new BMW M6 GT3 be the catalyst to finally dragging out the Lexus RC GT3 onto racetracks around the world (including here)? For a car that has generated all manner of hype at the Geneva Motor Show in 2014 its pretty much been the car racing version of the Loch Ness Monster...

So Steve Richards running one car as a factory-backed/blessed operation, and one "other," likely to be TQuinn. |

Steve Richards calls himself an owner in that article. Great news for the category and for Steve to be part of this opportunity.

As to your 2nd point Peckstar - I think that is a positive.
This is factory supported entry. Ie the entry wouldnt exist outside of BMW commitment to Australian GT and the SRM. Good news all round |
