Thanks for that - got my days mixed up. Pity that the Saturday event was cut short due to safety car with the Baird & Fassler battle beginning to brew.

Quick turn around now to the Tailem Bend enduro.

We got a bit of an insight into the enduro combinations at the Grand Prix however there will be a few more to come with the Am cars pairing up.

Will also have less trophy cars in enduros so will free up space for any that missed out (and i expect bigger cap on field as well)

A rather strong combination there.

In other news - David Crampton joins the GT4 field

Shane van Gisbergen features in the 21-car field which will tackle next weekend’s Australian Endurance Championship opener at The Bend in a two-part race.

The 68-lap race will be split across Saturday twilight and Sunday morning at Australia’s newest permanent circuit.

Good solid grid, be nice to see a few more GT4's but not too bad.

I thought Trophy cars were permitted too now?

I always think for these endurance length events theres no harm in bulking the field out with extra classes, give the top guys more cars to lap

Some strong driver pairings forming at the front of the field. Should be a good race and on the brand new track should be quite a sight to see.

Live stream available on Sunday through The Nationals website.

How is this weekends event working?

I understand its a round of the Aust Gt Championships and the Australian Endurance Championship.

does the one race count for both, or are they separate? Or some other derivative?

Counts for both. Similar to how indycar had an oval and road course championship inside the indycar series championship in the past

The Australian Endurance Championship field for this weekend’s race at The Bend has been reduced by one after John Bowe crashed a Ferrari during today’s test day.

Bowe had been due to share the Maranello Motorsport Ferrari 488 GT3 with gentleman driver Peter Edwards in the headline act for the first Shannons Nationals round of the year.

Bowe was uninjured in the accident, the car has been scratched from this weekend’s round as a result

Is the wet wether really adding over a minute to the times?

The Porsche Cup cars were doing mid-1:50s yesterday in the dry.

Now everyone's in the 3 min+ bracket.

Replaced with a practice session on a abbreviated layout.

Not anymore.

They will be running the 4.95km circuit due to the potential for dust.
