Its actually kinda cool that the blokes handling the oily bits and/or the steering wheels are interested enough to post their point of view.

These cars are worth as much as the average suburban house, if not more, and equally the cost of getting decisions wrong can be very expensive.

In the case of some of the subjects under discussion, to adapt & paraphrase Allan Moffat, just because you own a Porsche, doesnt make you a Porsche driver

The 24hr series website indicates that the Dubai organisers are considering promoting a 12hr at the Abu Dhabi circuit the week following the Dubai race.
Thar would cut the time frame between Dubai and the B12 down to an almost impossible schedule. Will this cost the B12 some emtries?

I certainly hope not, but the teams will have to choose between Bathurst and Abu Dhabi, i'd chose Bathurst personally

Nope, he's at home........ other commitments meant he was unable to be there.

Another pic, this is of Peter Kox from Reiter Engineering Factory Team and Dave Russell prior to the shakedown.

Peter Kox doesn't really look that much older than when I knew him back in his Formula three days - amazing.

He's a much underrated driver and would be good fit Rich07
