Nah get that, but why race in the pro category, much better chance of winning the pro-am than the pro category. Only bronze driver in the Pro category
But he is funding, so he can race where he wants, just the logic escapes me, maybe the factory support makes its cheaper for him |

Habul is funding, he wants to try to win the thing, so hires 3 guns. Simples. Rules state he has to be in Pro category. More Simples The rest of your points are irrelevant |

See im not sure if you are trolling. Im wondering why Kenny wants to race in the pro category. That is all.. Why he wouldnt rather compete in the Pro-am and be a good chance of a trophy, there has to be some thought pattern behind it, Just wondering what it is. I really dont expect anyone to know on here, but you never know Anyway good entry list, Not the best we have had, but some excellent drivers. Lot more intereste in GT4, will be intetresting watch that category going forward to see how it goes |

Reading your posts, the opposite is clear.
Because he can probably. Not sure why the query is raised when you admit there is no chance of a definitive answer being provided, and when others present their educated opinion, it isn't taken on board. |

Probably because Habul may be one of a rare breed of 'amateur drivers' these days, in a similiar vein to the likes of Al Holbert, Paul Newman, Gianpaulo Maretti etc.. who actually wants to win a race, not just get a trophy

I see this thread has been padded-out somewhat since the last time I visited a week or so ago.
For those playing at home, you can go to your settings on here, and specifcally ignore members. Makes for a much more pleasant experience |

Just noticed Marc Lieb is on the entry list in the Black Swan Porsche.

Originally it did not have Factory backing, however now With the AMG backing and the provision of Raffaele Marciello the car is running in Pro category (however with a Bronze driver), with Kenny taking more of a back seat. It will be interesting to see how much time Kenny gets in the seat and if the car can make up the difference against the other all pro teams |

I'm one of the English marshals that have come across for the meeting. I'll be in the pit/Grid area. Really looking forward to getting my endurance fix and visiting Bathurst

is it cynical of me to say that a lot of people lauding the MARC cars would have vocally complained about the GRM Monaros?
At the end of the day there is a class for them but they are basically sports sedans. |

Huge differences between the MARC and the Monaro. Capped lap times for one.

I think its the best field as far as driver quality the race has seen, and very wide open. No chance of rescheduling the trip?
