I wonder if they will sacrifice one in the short term to get one up and going quicker |

2018 Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hour, 2-4 Feb
Manthey even air freighted a second Porsche to Bathurst because they were worried about delays to the sea freight.

They would require some slack-cutting from officialdom in respect of driver sign-on, scrutineering, fuel rig checks and tyre marking. But, particularly if they had used the official shipping deal offered by the organisation, this would appear to be a case of force majeure. |

For those who are there, give the British marshals a wave if you see them (and they're identifiable). At the last count there's 9 people flown down for holidays which coincide with the race

First practise session is run and complete, it was for am(bronze and silver) drivers only
It looks like the two TBA cars are not competing, which gives us 51 cars. a good field, with some ripping drivers the Marc II was in 5th spot and the bentleys are out on track |

Looks like 12 hour results are back with Natsoft after a couple of years away
so far 50 cars out on the track, all are well within the cut off time (im estimateing 2.36) and GT has his audi quicker than last years p2 time. maybe the audi will have some speed this year |

It would appear the cut-off is now 120% (good in my opinion, it was on my list of changes)
all cars that completed laps were well within that number |

5000km's on it already. Expected maximum 8000km... Scudd might be praying for no safety cars so they can just chugg around
