I thought they had like 20 of those cars. It doesn't look like many are left.

[GTRMagic]

There were 15 MG's in the original auction in various levels of condition & completeness... the new auction is a subset of those that werent sold.. a sale is not a sale till the cheque clears after all

[Prickly_Goo]

Entry List is out.

Entry List for Sandown

Interesting to see yet no Mr Fernandez.. Mr Owen doesnt look like to be there either, but I guess we wont know untill everyone goes out on track..

The second Eggleston Licence is entered but no Driver hmmm...

[Racenut7]

Scott Loadsman has replaced him in Car #62.
Just remember Owen used car #62 in Adelaide.

[GTRMagic]

Any news on a pilot for #61? Perhaps Mr Fernandez is making a comeback there?

perhaps so?.. #61 still has his mate TBA there..

gotta love Mr TBA.. never had a round win yet..

[bludvl_x19]

I think it's because his sponsorship deals always fall through at the last minute, he is always being replaced. I feel kinda sad for him actually, he has never had a chance to prove himself.

aint that the truth..

eMnews reports Aaron McGill as retiring the slightly bent ex Seton AU (to be restored to Seton Ford Credit livery) and replacing it with an ex GRM VY (chassis GRM#5 I guess) sourced from Sydney Star Racing.

[Prickly_Goo]

Beikoff Racing Transporter was spotted by my partner in Kingscliff.. They are leaving it a bit late arent they?

[Also a Believer]

I think 61 may not be running at the weekend, I think it still has to venture to the repair shop in QLD for a cage adjustment after the Wakefield crash.
Thats what I have heard.

I can confirm that AAB.. 61 wont be on the grid..

[pete60]

Steve Owen is now shown as the driver of the Tint A Car Commodore, with TBA still at the wheel of the second Eggleston entry. What can we expect there?

Nothing from the secong Eggleston car, it is in bits in the workshop. However the entry could still be leased out to someone else, good way to make a bit of spare cash

Wakefield was months ago... and if Mr Douglas' car can come back from the panel shop all nice and shiny after looking like a crinkle cup chip, surely #61 should be easily able to return...

Dont know why it was not fixed GTR just heard it was not...maybe robbo was too busy with other repairs to fit it in.

[GTRMagic]

So how will Mr Assaillit go this weekend with an fresh ex-Hasted powerplant under the bonnet?

[Also a Believer]

I hear that testing was good....I know that there was discussion about the previous engines being underpowered. Same engines that the previous driver had.

[ford boy]

What has happened to Grant Denyer?? Only done a handful of laps for both sessions...... Steve Owen had a bad P2.

[RaceRant]

Dale Wood. Very sharp. He's shown his speed here in F/Ford and looked great today.

Don't be mistaken by seeing his name in the main-game times either guys (on Natsoft at least). P1 was actually Mark Noske in the 51 car, not Dale.

[Just Do It!]

Mark Noske should be fast in anything. It is sad to see a driver who is more than capable and able to deliver steadfast results get so vastly overlooked.

The other stand-out driver would have to be Drew Russell. They mightn't have the biggest budget, but they do punch well above their (monetary) weight.
Drew used to run in Formula Challenge here in NZ at the old Taupo. He is very good at pedaling any vehicle, and he is worthy of a slot.

He is young, hungry, and capable. His car doesn't have the biggest horsepower, but he is able to wring his car to its best.

Ironic that Noske and Drew should pop up in the same post - great abilities, largely untapped

[Pro Racer]

i agree JDI Mark seems to come out of the woodwork at enduro time and still manage to pedal the car around with respectable pace despite not racing any other time and he will bring the car home straight and in a respectable position should his co-driver or the car not let him down. same can be said about Nathan Pretty and probably to a bigger extent, he goes well every year when he pops up fron no where, he got a couple of top 10's in the 2nd PWR car in the time he was there, he went well with Todd at Sandown and again with Seto at Bathurst, you don't here his name all day and then come the end of lap 161 he is always there in a good position.

I saw the car heading south through the Gold Coast yesterday with a new drivers side, still needs paint. Maybe the delay is budget related... you bend it you buy it!!!

Another notable ommision was shannon obrien.
