All that matters is they are sponsored and on the grid. Why do so many over analyse everything on here?

That you don't know the answer shouldn't be a reason to criticise the question.

Is Jamec-PEM staying off the cars for the AGT season, are they running 4 chassis in AGT.... the discussion is bigger than a sticker on a car

Is what happens in a national championship (Aust gT) relevant to what happens in the international championship (International GT Challenge). Surely sponsorship and drivers for that series should be discussed over in Aust GT.

This is a totally different thing I would have thought.

This time next week prac 3 will have just finished

Very much a discussion for the AGT thread.

What has the 2013 B12H have to do with the running of the 2017 version?

In defense of DRT (and that is a big comment)

He is building up the excitement to this years race for us the reader, just like motorsport tv shows would do if there was one

It has just as much relevance as what sponsorship Jamac will run in the GT championship

Great memories DRT, gets me pumped for this year's race, it's like a bit of a shakedown for this year's race, thanks for posting.

rich07 · 27 Jan 2017, 08:27 (Ref:3705488)

Anyone know how the shakedown of the STM Merc went at QR today? There was heavy rain in the area so any shakedown might've been cut short. Cutting it fine for shaking down a brand new car.

velly4 · 27 Jan 2017, 08:42 (Ref:3705493)

I wonder how many teams are yet to complete a shakedown? Didn't Bentley do their shakedown at Wakefield a couple days before the event last year or the year before?

KSM86 · 27 Jan 2017, 08:43 (Ref:3705494)

Maybe scudd can come on here and Let us all know how he went with his shakedown today at qr

Samwhk · 27 Jan 2017, 08:53 (Ref:3705497)

I'd love to hear first hand from a driver competing in the race what they think of their car after a shakedown. I think that would be positive and interesting.

I know this info is 2nd hand but the shakedown at Queensland raceway was a bit wet

Ospi · 27 Jan 2017, 11:43 (Ref:3705536)

I don't really see a shakedown of a modern gt3 as being overly critical if you have a half decent crew involved. They'll be fine.

probably right there Ospi. a shakedown is of little relevance in the scheme of things

especially if all the main data that you get is a from a bunch of nodding heads and the team owner is an authoritive ruler who loves the sound of their own voice

MARC GT shows it’s colours

peckstar · 29 Jan 2017, 06:39 (Ref:3706738)

Spotters Guide
Does anyone have a link to a car/driver spotters guide for this years race. Hoping to watch on the live stream next weekend but being in the UK I'm not so well acquainted with appearance of some of the entries. Many thanks.

You might need to wait until later in the week. Because its a one off race many of the cars will not finalise their appearance until during this week

for example this is from today
