I stayed at the Goldfields Cabins on the outside of Forrests Elbow for the 12H, nice, clean motel, nothing fancy. If you don't mind a wee hike, you get access to the top of the mountain.

Looking forward to watching the live stream over the weekend, surprised to see a M4 being run. Is this one the race spec GTS version or simply a "normal" M4? thought the M2 would be the weapon of choice. Love to see someone run the latest and greatest HSV, be more then competitive I think, Porsche Cayman me a nice addition too.

The Keltic Racing Focus was withdrawn earlier in the week, BTW. Apparently the car just wasn't well prepared enough so they packed it in.

Lots of new cars and a competitive first few laps, going to be a great race.

I would say this is the most competitive production car field for an enduro since 1993 or 1994. Laptimes have fallen quite a way at the front of the field judging by qualifying, great to see this sort of progress, the next few years of development will be fantastic.

They broke the starting record of 64 cars.

Both the sole V8 Falcon and VF Commodore have tangled and crashed out within 4 laps of the race starting.

The M4 has already had engine troubles serious enough to warrant a 9 minute pit stop after about 45 minutes of the race.

Meanwhile, the Slade/Thomas Evo got a drive-through for making a pit stop that was 0.08 seconds slower then the minimum time, which has got to be one of the silliest penalties I have ever heard.
