not sure how reliable this is, but channel 7 during its olympics coverage was showing a highlights of future sporting events and it included the 12 hour.

I assumed this meant they will be showing the 12 hour next year, But Not 100% confident in that

I heard an interesting rumor the other day too. One that came from inside the Seven west group, and that indicated that they are looking at motorsport again, but not VASC.

Hobson, Wall combine for Nissan GT-R program

update on the previous mentioned GTR's

Early bird closes this week, hoping for an preliminary entry list soon after

Mechanic Z · 29 Aug 2016, 02:15 (Ref:3668298)

Here's the privateer GT-R announcement. Hobson Motorsport has purchased the two Always Evolving cars from this season here in the States. They'll be receiving them after the end of the PWC season.

As in showing motorsport, or producing content?

I'm looking forward to seeing the RS.01's on track next year.

Well early bird has been closed for a week now. Hoping for an initial entry list soon.

Last year we got the list on Sept 3.

Last year we had the previous promoter acting as a consultant to the new owners. The guidance and assistance provided to the new promoter saw a lot of things happen just the way they had previously.
The new promoter is now running the show and doing it their way, just as they have with Supercars.
Different approaches to business I guess and Pecky this is not a dig at Supercars, just what they see as the pecking order(oops an unfortunate selection of word) in the running of that acquisition.

2017 grid building momentum

re-adding this because it got lost in the security issues

50 plus cars, 30 plus GT3 and 6 GT4

Good start, more than last year,

mayhem · 25 Sep 2016, 22:38 (Ref:3675152)

Lowndes with Whincup in 488

Very interesting, is this the first time JW has driven something outside a Supercar in the past ten years (ROC not included?)

velly4 · 25 Sep 2016, 22:41 (Ref:3675155)

Maranello with a handy line up. Lowndes and Whincup plus a factory driver in the 488

Matt · 26 Sep 2016, 16:58 (Ref:3675304)

That's gonna be the winner right there.

D.R.T. · 27 Sep 2016, 01:36 (Ref:3675420)

Pretty early call considering the other quality teams and drivers to be announced. SVG, Parente + McLaren Pro would be every ounce as good as the Lowdnes/ Whincup entry

In race trim... seems to have done some private testing in the past in a McLaren & Audi..

Wonder how many 888-ers might migrate into the MM garage for the weekend to run the stops & strategy too?

JoeW04 · 27 Sep 2016, 03:42 (Ref:3675456)

Good to see Whincup finally having a go. Wasn't planning on coming back down until 2018 but the potential entry list and the fact it will probably be the peak of GT3 racing at Bathurst I'm pretty tempted..

mayhem · 29 Sep 2016, 02:25 (Ref:3675843)

Awesome!
Miedecke Stone Motorsport to run 2 GT3 Astons and one GT4 Aston./

D.R.T. · 30 Sep 2016, 08:05 (Ref:3676070)

Great to see Miedecke and Stone having a very solid crack at the race next year. And another GT4 entry.

Great to see the class racing that makes this event so good really building

Skaife ingall and longhurst

interesting combo in a bmw

Have we heard anything on tv package?

Mixer · 13 Oct 2016, 01:21 (Ref:3679667)

You're not wrong, that is a strong team and a very nice job on the commercial package.

Was trying to classify them in the rankings. think they would be considered an Amatuer team, based mainly on age and recent driving experience

bludvl_x19 · 13 Oct 2016, 02:09 (Ref:3679672)

Going by the current FIA rankings (updated 30/9,) Longhurst is the only classified driver and he is a Silver.

Skaife would probably be a Gold from my quick browsing of his results.
Ingall might be a Gold, but might be able to downgrade to a Silver due to age, but may not be able to downgrade depending on how his codrive for Nissan is viewed...factory drivers have to be Gold,.

mayhem · 13 Oct 2016, 02:28 (Ref:3679676)

THAT is one sweet looking bit of gear.

Matt · 13 Oct 2016, 04:15 (Ref:3679684)

I was hoping for a scheme that mimiced Longhurst's last BMW racecar on the mountain.
