I kinda think the B12hr is just one of those races where you are in the top tier, or not at all.

Must be pretty heavy mirror watching for any GT4 car

Organisers only interested in GT3?

The organisers push to remove the invitational cars has also been a negative.

The loss of the Daytona's and Corvettes along with the reduction in GT4 is disappointing

I'm not interested because there's not enough of them. If the organisers had more, then I'd care. But 3-4 cars in a class isn't enough for me.

I'm questioning whether you need Pro-Am and Silver classes, however. These serve roughly the same purpose. SRO seem big on classes for every possibly combination.

Looking forward to this one as ever!

About 44 entrants, with 22 strictly Pro teams? I think Pro / Pro Am alone would be a great show, so maybe they're trying to dwindle the entry? The last class appears to be half one team and all the same Marque...

Very little interest in running GT4 in Australia.

Plenty of cars here to build a decent grid of them, but no one is coughing up the money to do so.

How many GT4s are in Australia?

2-3 KTMs
1 Aston Martin
1-2 BMW's

There was chat about a Mustang making it to Australia but unsure if one ever did actually get delivered in the end?

Why aren’t European GT4 teams coming to the 12hr, the GT3 teams do in droves

The 12hr only a few years ago attracted plenty of interest from overseas teams wanting to run in lower classes, what has changed?

Getting run over by factory guys in GT3s who don't have to worry about paying bills for damaged cars is no fun, I guess. And it probably makes a difference if there are 15 or 30 GT3s to watch out for.

4 KTMs
2 Audis
2 Mclarens
4 Ginettas
1 Aston Martin
2 BMWs

We probably won't see many, while Production cars allows very similar cars to compete in their series.

Yep, turns out my mail was wrong.

Maxi Götz named as the third driver in the 888 car.

Last year 888 had a lot of set up problems at 12 Hour.A factory AMG driver is going to be able to help with set up issues a lot more than Lowndes would be able to.

It's is a mouth watering lineup. Maybe this is Parente's swansong in a Macca before he moves on to the Bentleys
