What I meant was the team has been on commentary all day saying they arent pushing at 100% in the car... if there was ever a time when it needs to be pushed at 100% and beyond it is now!

No point saving the car for another weekend... win or bust!

Thought so too, looked a bit unprofessional and rushed, but I guess they were trying to get it in before the broadcast window closed.

Awesome to see three leading marque's on the podium.

Can anyone remind me what the rules are re driver combinations. #2 Audi had an amateur and a couple of pros and I thought you needed at least one amateur who had to do at least 2 hours. Who was the amateur in the #1 Audi and the #20 Merc?

Should have said I thought the race was fantastic, particularly the first few hours. It was a shame we lost so many of the front running contenders due to accident/mechanical as the last couple of hours could have been absolutely mega if there were just one or two more cars in contention. Would like to have seen either of the Lambo's in the running with a pro on board and a wet track.

Congrats to Phoenix for winning in difficult conditions and hats off to everyone who finished. Great driving from Slade in the Black Falcon Merc considering how little experience he had with the car. Hopefully next year sees some more entries from here and overseas.

I dont think its something you would want to advertise as opposed to a new lap record.

Re: Parc Ferme Podium - they did a proper presentation on the dais with team members, family, fans etc below. Top three in each class. The quickie behind the pits was just for TV.

Plus, I wouldn't agree with your character assessment of him. I find Allan to be genuine, humble and generous with his time.

Firstly , thank you to all teams that entered cars, particularly those that travelled from overseas.

What a joy to listen to a ferrari 458 for 12 full hours... awesome sounding car. Dare I say as good as a 360GT !

The weather really tore up the field today. A shame to see most of the GT field ended up.in the fence this weekend.

Note to Mr Obrien.. do whatever you can to encourage local GT involvement.
We need 20 GT CLASS A cars next year..
Everyone who comes loves the place , so start work tomorrow to make 2013 the greatest race we have seen.

It's now or never . Double the entry or give the management of the event to someone who can.

A field of 25 cars next year is just not an acceptable situation.

Not sure who else was scanning radios, but as I was watching from the hotel room, it was very interesting to hear the circus at MM sport.

Feel very sorry for Simonsen, surely the almost identical clearwater car pitting 3 laps earlier would have triggered a "lets check our figures" moment....

And Allan radioed them on his roll in lap to say he may need a push, so they ran down for that, then it fired up so he drove past them to arrive at an un manned pit bay while the crew ran back up!!

That mistake caused the lambdas to overheat with the lean running, which flagged an alarm, which can only be reset via diagnostic computer. 2 laps gone and ultimately a DNF due to failed lambda (apparently).

Comedy of errors all round, what a circus. Poor Al.

Then Al rejoined right in front of the Scudd lambo, initially blocking progress, and rightly received at elast 10 blue flags that i saw with my own eyes from my hotel balcony... He SHOULD have had a drive through penalty for disobeying blue flags......

And then the final nail was Dominik hitting the fire bomb...... Dear oh dear, They, as I was too, must be gutted.

Bottom line though, the car was reliable, it was mistakes that caused it to fail.


Bad luck also to Scudd and crew, was cheering for them for a while there too, although, after what Mr Park said to me not 30 seconds after Teds shunt, all I can say is Karma is a biyatch Mr Park..... Ted won an hour race at Bathurst as recently as Easter, and Park crashed at Sprint Bathurst already, so what he said must be echoing around his empty head right now. Bad luck Scudd and Russell. You deserved better.

I drove Ted home to melbourne today, after watching the first stint and stops. We had a good chitty chat about whats what and Ted is one wise old soul. I have enormous respect for him, and he's tougher than any one of any age I ever met.

He's REALLY sore, but already improving and he'll be ok. The car and its future were discussed, but no hasty decisions will be made, or announced.

what... like Vettel, Or Schuey for instance??

Team to blame for pitting error. The radio traffic was simply embarrassing for them. Which continued with the out lap and re-pit to clear the error...


You never came to say hi osrg... or did you???? I still got no idea which one you are.....

Those of us here in Victoria hope to see Ted & a car at VSCRC - it's always awesome to see that yellow Lambo on track.
