Isnt it quite late in the off season to only have 5 cars confirmed?
Looks like a tiny grid likely again?

To be fair, the above are the only formal announcements that I could find.
On social media, there has also been chat around Fraser Ross, Peter Hackett, Scott Taylor, Liam Talbot, Tony Bates, Adrian Deitz, Yasser Shahin, Mark Griffiths and Justin McMillian.
So no need to think the worst at this stage.

Looks good in Black and Gold.
Although, every car looks good in Black and Gold.

More likely to see it in the regular championship, assuming the catagory management/control tyre supplier can bring the price of rubber back to reality

Randle's facebook pages says Phillip Island test was the first time this Bentley has been on an Aussie track. So not the ex Peter Edwards one??
Is Rusty French going to run this in the Aust GT Series?

This may have been covered earlier however some prospects in the local GT4 scene
Quote:
Rushbrook said that more than 30 Mustang GT4s have been produced for Europe thus far, despite having no target sales figures. The global expansion of the Mustang GT4 isn’t limited to Europe, though. After completing demonstration laps during the Bathurst 1000 weekend last year, a Mustang GT4 was sold to a customer for the Australian GT Championship.

Chances of it actually racing in Aus GT, though?
Plenty of GT4 cars in the country, racing elsewhere...
