I would expect that there will be a lot of juggling up until the end.
It looks like one car that wasn,t entered [LAMBO],maybe doing a deal with another team,and that could in all probability attract another. With the ability to switch cars around,it would be a brave man to call the grid at this point in time. |

It would be great if Simonsen got a gig in the Lamborghini with championship winner STokell plus two other drivers, would make an awesome team.

As much as I hate to plug (actually, I rather like it), there's a subscription website out there who will be doing a bunch of Bathurst coverage - much of it put into their "free" or "trial" section.

My colleagues (not jealous!!) have been around the circuit with Panoz's Paul Ryan in a Holden Course car and with Ross Palmer in his Cayenne - I think it's fair to say that it edges Snetterton out in the thrill stakes!!

I have the rest of the cars figured out, but what is a BA FPV GT?
The website is pretty cool, with the profile picture of the cars next to their current position information |

In simple terms a BA FPV GT is a Ford Falcon with a V8 in it.
BA is the model FPV is Ford Performance Vehicles & GT is well GT. The Monaro's will be sold as Vauxhalls in the UK next year and have just started to be sold as Pontiac GTO's in the USA (with a different front end). |
