Great to have the Sports Sedans back and the variety of the IPRA field makes them an enjoyable category to watch.

HQs are moving to the Easter meeting, will the other categories follow them?

HQ's weren't at the 12 Hour this year.The 12 hour supports have never been V8 affiliated series.Will this change in 2016?Will the new organisers follow through on whatever plans James had for this or will they start again?

Apparently Combined Sedans were invited, so we'll see if that works out.

Combined Sedans incorporate the Sports Sedans correct?


Hopefully Formula Ford comes back again, considering they fronted with a full grid.

I'm unsure, but would make sense.

Combined Sedans are not 100% confirmed is my understanding. Required entries achieved, deposits paid but awaiting that final green light from the new 12hr organisers.

Combined Sedan confirmation was received today so looks like they are completely locked in.

So radicals, improved production and combined sedans...that's likely to pretty much be it unless they want to try cram another series in.

I know the hq's get huge fields and the drivers and teams are great supporters of events like this but I'm glad to see some better and faster classes on the program.

I like the sounds of the Combined Sedans and Improved Production, i'd have rathered they kept the Formula Fords though over the single-make Radicals, the Formula Ford race on the Saturday morning particularly this year was a cracker.

Still needs to have Production Sports Cars on the bill. They are a perfect fit for the event.
Group O Q & R Sports / M & O Sports / S2000 would be great too. Who wouldnt want to see a 956 going down Conrod?

Agreed, they put on some great racing. Radicals are quick and look great but its usually follow the leader with reasonable gaps between the cars.

Allan's point about the easter events/6hr also removes some quality support acts from the equation.

Still there are some pretty big acts out there that have a strong association with v8supercars...think Carrera cup, biante touring cars, v8utes. All would put on a great show and be an additional drawcard.

52 cars ranging from 1700cc to 7000cc, Bathurst and qualifying straight up without a practice session. What could possibly go wrong ??

Those historic classes are not allowed to run at Bathurst due to circuit homologation.Prodsports run at Easter.A number of 12 Hour competitors use that race as a way to build up track experience.

Entry list for Combined Sedans.

12052645_1289766864382151_1061237924535595896_o.jpg

Quite a few ex-Supercars on the list, and one very fast Saab down the bottom. Any takers for a new "sports sedan" lap record, and how far below the V8SC lap record? It will need at least one race without a SC or red flag imo.

That's a great list and really looking to seeing and hearing them at the mountain.
