Awesome!

Macau would be tight in that bloody BMW. Good to see an Aussie driver showing his wares on the international stage!

Impressive.
Thinking out loud - I wonder if a BMW GTE drive would entice Chaz away from Supercars?

I doubt it as BMW has already more pilots then seats for that venture.

Chaz would be probably better off staying in Supercars unless he can do both like SVG did with Mclaren

But wasn't the Mega money a PRA sourced sponsor, not a sponsor that came with the Britek REC?

Mega was with neither Britek/BJR or Prodrive last year, so it depends on who has the relationship.
