2016 Sepang 12 Hours

I'd say it's about time for a thread for this year's Sepang 12hrs, the finale of the Intercontinental GT Challenge.

No full entry list available yet, but several high quality entries have been announced.

Pirelli World Challenge GT Champions K-Pax Racing & Flying Lizard Motorsports will be bringing one of their McLarens, with a yet to be announced driver lineup of three McLaren facory drivers.
http://kpaxracing.com/news.php

Sportscar365 expects at least two other Mclarens for the race.

Porsche are also bringing out their big guns, with two 911 GT3-Rs from Manthey Racing featuring full factory lineups. Patrick Pilet and '15 Le Mans winners Earl Bamber and Nick Tandy will drive the #911, while Richard Lietz, Fred Makowiecki and Michael Christensen will drive the #912.
http://sportscar365.com/gt/igtc/pors...or-sepang-12h/

There are three Ferrari Gt3s announced so far, two 488s and a 458s.

Pasin Lathouras, Michele Rugolo and Alessandro Pier Guidi will be driving the AF Corse/Spirit of Race 488 GT3, while David Tjiptobiantoro, Greg Teo and Christian Columbo will pilot the T2 Motorsport entry.

The 458 GT3 is entered by Naza Nexus with lineup TBA.

There are a few non GT3 cars also entered, they are listed here: http://www.sepang12hours.com/newsitem.php?key=24

Yokohama has been announced as the sole tire supplier for the event:

Another GT3 heavyweight team contesting the race. This is starting to get serious.

Orido in a Jloc Huracan and the APR Prius? Fantastic. There better be a live stream for this.

The problem is that the race last year was only watchable for the first 3 hours. After that it was ruined by the rain red flag period followed pitch black darkness which I will always proclaim is NOT TV freindly. The rain they can't control, but I hope this year's race is going to have more daylight racing.

Entry list has been released. No Bentley Team Absolute, sadly. Was hoping to see two PWC teams competing.

Seeing that it's the #30 Prius, not the #31... will it have a functioning hybrid system for this race, I wonder? (Li-ion GT300 Priuses lose their hybrid system for international rounds of Super GT, due to concerns about shipping their batteries. #30 is Li-ion, #31 is supercapacitor. I wonder if that restriction holds for this race, or if they'll even retrofit the supercapacitor system.)

How much of this race is daylight vs night. I hope the more daylight the better.

Schedule says mid-day to midnight, and sunset is around 7pm all year round (it's close enough to the Equator). So with a bit of twilight it's a maximum of about 7 and a half hours of daylight.

Sepang raceweek!

BTW looks like Motor Trend on Demand will be carrying a stream. Good news for those of us in the USA, as the SRO stream is geoblocked.

In that case let's get all excited!

Couple of points of interest for me:

- This must be Vanthoor's final race in an Audi, curious to see both how he fairs against his future employer in the form of the Manthey Porsches, and also who is going to file his boots at Audi.

- This will be the first time we will see a Prius running in the top class of a large enduros like this. I wonder how it'll run compared with the GT3 cars, in Super GT it is pretty handy.

- This race marks the first international race for KPax, and the final McLaren race for the GIZ.

- there's 8 Pro cars: 1 McLaren, 2 Audi's, 1 Prius, 1 Ferrari, 1 Lamborghini, and 2 Porsche's. I think it's a straight fight between Manthey and Phoenix though, with the Kpax swinging in for good measure.

- it'll be interesting to see how the R8 Cup will stand up to the Super Trofeo in open battle, can't say I've seen those two race together before. We can assume they are a pretty similar base both being VAG machines.

- big shame we only have 2 GT4 and a sparse Touring selection, but if anything they may cause a bit of concern for the GT3 guys
