I would be highly doubtful you would you can pay. Certainly not something they offer at the 1000, so cant see them doing it at the 12 hour
guess you will know soon enough Last edited by peckstar; 30 Jan 2018 at 10:59. |

Race Control targeting ‘more green, less yellow
No code 60, and an small explanation of why not, mainly the narrowness of the track in key places |

How many idiots were walking through pitlane? If V8SA reduce access to the pits despite preaching there would be no changes to the events DNA that would be dangerous and not go down well with the events core audience. The pit lane walk and general access is something that makes the 12 Hour unique - similar to that at Le Mans on the Friday of the 24 Hour. It would be a strange move to remove it - especially by such late cloak and dagger menas |

In this very thread one member talked a out jumping the pit wall and trespassing on the main straight. That alone could cause discussion of such a change in this litigious world.

There is no reduction in access to pits which is still free. The reduction is to (allegadly as far from confirmed at this point) to pit lane it self which already has significant restrictions during the race weekend. Even if it does happen ,people will move on, its part of a growing event, They took it away a few years ago at the 1000 , crowds still attend. I walk along pit straight every year at the 1000 and watch the cars being worked on Friday night, just now there is a fence Last edited by peckstar; 31 Jan 2018 at 01:27. |

From a man at the scene, apparently he is currently moving freely in pitlane, no fences or security guards at this point in time.

Apparently no changes regarding walking in front of the pits after hours, which is great news. Would have been a huge shame if that was lost
Heading up Friday morning, can't wait! |

2014? Maybe we crossed paths...that’d be hilarious... The event back then was a lot more relaxed and a lot less populated for that matter. With the popularity of the race has seen more idiots appear but they’re still in the vast minority of people at the event. I’ve found 99% of people to be the complete opposite of any definition of idiot and for what it’s worth I’ve camped every time and only seen one drunk idiot who was harassing people. |

99% means 1 in a 100, i was suggesting 99.9. Most people are fine, but there is always that one idiot who does something stupid. I know its a different event (same venue), but i was standing on the track side of triple 8s pit one year after a ford win. People were just standing a round watching, (like they would at the 12 hour on a thursday night) it was great. everyone was happy. But bozo comes up with his big plastic horn and starts blowing it. And down went the roller door. just takes that one idiot |

They have to be, the new aero is 2018 homologation, and you can’t run 2018 homologation at Bathurst, hence the old bentleys having their swan song |

All they need now is to find the cars damaged by the cyclone the broken down boat also had to endure en route to Aus. Hopefully not the case. |
