The AMG reps were definitely there checking out the Hackett entry at Bathurst.Peter said they were deciding whether to enter the 12 hour and whether to financially support the local team or bring out their own cars like Audi did if they do enter.They were obviously serious about it as they wouldn't have come just to see a few sprint races for the GTs.

I hear there'll be a factory Lambo factor too, although the Qld cold store fork lift operator hilariously thinks his v8 driver is faster than the works Reiter driver, so it won't be with him....

Well it's a great circuit for the Merc to stretch it's legs, with good pit facilities, good potential for corporate entertaining, and there was a big event atmosphere....the GT field was a bit thin, however.
I hope they come, the more the merrier. |

There is also a GT4 version of the BMW M3. Or they could be converted touring cars (like the Seats)

This from you of all people. Still lighting a candle for Simonsen?

And Simonsen played a near heroic no2 role, using old tyres with delaminated tread for several laps, in order to save up 2 new sets for Murph to bring it home on. They may have got an even better result if they didn't do a pad change under SC, which cost them several spots due to traffic being bunched up. |

Kevin Weeks may enter his Ford GT and there's the Rod Wilson/Jim Manolios/Ivan Capelli Corvette as well so we're getting plenty of variety. I take it that not too many of the GT Championship regulars are agreeing with their new series owner about not running.
One of the reasons Tony gave in the interview was the proximity of the opening round of the OZ GT champs at Clipsal, but I'm not sure that that gig is guaranteed as yet. Hope the 12 hour is a huge success, that track deserves a genuine International event. |

And do you think that because you know someone, you should treat them disrespectfully? I see no shame to admit and acknowledge talent. If you do, I'd suggest it's YOUR problem, not mine. But, seeing as you don't know anyone with talent like that, I guess you just don't know |
