Interesting - would be great if the car stays and with a new driver line up.

In other news, Bentley announces former WEC racer Oliver Jarvis alognside Guy Smith and Steven Kane.

The third pilot in that car was reported to be unhappy in the car.. perhaps he is planning to replace himself again with Mr De Pasquale..

One of my goals for the race is falling short as a result

[D.R.T.]

And right on cue

Good news that they are racing

Am team, interesting.

[D.R.T.]

Great to see Max Twigg named, will bring good experience in the M6 having raced the car all last season

Unhappy in the car, or unhappy out of it...?

[peckstar]

Champion drivers lead MARC Cars squad

Some good names in there, should be interesting battle in the I class

just noticing that there are 6 cars mentioned here, However there were 8 on the entry list.

Not sure what that means, maybe two are running separately, or maybe two have dropped out (maybe 1 has become a BMW)

[Mixer]

Very keen to see how Chaz goes!

Sadly I am missing the race AGAIN because of travel to Europe

[GTRMagic]

The Walkinshaw Porsche entry certainly got serious Story Here

[D.R.T.]

Great to see Vanthoor and Estée return. And Bamber is a sensational addition, I thought we would more likely see Lieb.

Keen to see who pops up in the 2nd car but would imagine Courtney and Pte will feature

Great to see Bamber back again and in an outright car this year.

Partially ticks one of my hopes

and your choices for second car make sense, at least one of them (not to say both), more soon i guess

[D.R.T.]

Shea Adams reporting that Patrick Long, Marc Lieb and Calvert - Jones in the Competition Motorsports Porsche.

Current WEC and Le Mans 24 Hour champion - strongest grab for the event yet.

[T-star]

I reckon the 2nd Walkinshaw Porsche will be Martin, Talbot, Padayachee

[D.R.T.]

Walls McLaren confirms Slade, Davison, Luff for 12 Hour in a slick Pro-Am entry.

There are some seriously experienced dudes in some seriously fast cars... SERIOUSLY best lineup ever, hope I can somehow catch the race after I get to Europe...

[D.R.T.]

Still plenty to come as well with McLaren, Nissan, craft bamboo, Astons and Lamborghini to announce.

You might imagine Matt Campbell would be an inspired choice here...

[T-star]

Would LOVE Campbell in a Pro team let alone any Porsche team. But I think Walkinshaw will take the pay drivers for the 2nd car.

[D.R.T.]

I guess it will come down to how much Porsche Australia/Europe is putting into the effort. Matt didnt get to much of a drive in the McLaren last year so would be great to see him in the event.

Looking towards the McLaren GT team in a pure best case scenario - lets hope for the below line up from their Blancpain and Australia drivers.

1) Alvaro Parente, Jono Webb, Bruno Senna
2) Will Davison, Rob Bell, Pipo Derani

Will be interesting to see if/where Denyer and Morcom feature as well.

Don't forget Come Ledogar, he will most certainly feature in the line up.

I'd suggest:

1) Parente, Ledogar, Webb
2) Davison, Bell, Morcom

Although Denyer is a possibility,

Equally McLaren also have Junior GT drivers:

Watson is definitely still in the line up, and it's TBC as to whether Fontana, Moore and co are retained

Yeah good point about Ledogsr.

I imagine one of the European drivers may feature in the Quinn mclaren as well

Parente has run in a Quinn McLaren before hasn't he?

McLaren also lost the Gis from last year so I wouldn't be surprised if they bring a new gun in

MSR To Run Single Aston Martin In Pro-Am
