Where are you getting your facts from Scudd ? AGT season registration and entry fees for the full 2012 Championship is around $35k for a GT Chamionship class of car & gets cheaper from there depending on which class you enter...
Re "Lets just make a 12 Hour race part of the championship" argument. Like I posted earlier, it is not just another race. The budget to run a 12 hour race is far greater than a normal AGT round because the time and km's travelled in 12 hours would be more like the equivalent of two seasons of normal race km's. It all costs money ! Logistically it must be easier to secure certain levels of sponsorship when you are offering 7 rounds of exposure including 3 at such high profile events as Clipsal, GC 600 and Homebush as oppose to one 12 hour race, albeit at Bathurst, with near double the entry fees, little or no prizemoney and a highlight TV package screened later in the year. |

Maybe they will twiddle the ECU to knock a thousand revs off the engine to guarantee it wont make a sub 2.08?

Those Seat boys will be ****ed if they can't get their lap times down.
Long way to come to not race. Cutoff is 2:46.4 correct? |

Is the cutoff open to interpretation by the stewards (say if the car is slow but the crew is experienced and arent a bunch of amateurs) or is it set in stone?

I think the stewards do have a little leeway provided the drivers are experienced and experienced at the particular track in question, and there is a valid reason for them not meeting the required time in qualifying (ie rain / mechanical failure / etc) but I think they would need to be confident that they could meet the required time if they hadn't encountered issues.
