You mean like Nissan parking a race winning GT3 GTR here for 12 months without seeing much/any racing?

Plenty of options,tt could run in GT Trophy and GT Sprint/Endurance pending grid availability.
Throw in State Prod Sports rounds, Bathurst Motor Festival - provided the owner wants to run the car there are plenty of avenues to run it. Crisis averted |

As someone who wants to view this car, im just suggesting its quite possible that we wont get to see it run apart from bathurst 12 hour see it is something to do as us as posters. Hopefully you can see the difference |

But what I do know is that I personally wouldn't question the business and racing acumen of someone like Jonathon Webb, he seems like he has his head screwed on pretty well, and if he is paying for running a GT4 McLaren, I'd suggest it's a shot in the arm for the series and for the GT4 category. Much as I stated 6 posts ago. |

So someone else sees value/potential to buy and run a GT4 McLaren and have Tekno run it. Someone who can afford to buy a McLaren and have a top end team prep the car. Madness...

I suspect their investment is based on an understanding that
A) there will be a certain GT4 class in B12 in '17. (With AMR GT4, and Brookspeed Cayman, this makes three GT4's) And B) they have some assurance from Aus GT or similar there will be somewhere to run the car the rest of the season. As previously mentioned, this car is a customer car being run by Tekno. It's not about where Tekno sees fit to run its about where the customer would like to run. He may we be happy doing just Trophy Series next year, and hope for an expanded GT4 series in Aus in '18 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Don't suppose anyone knows if the Hampton Downs race is being shown anywhere?

Had fingers crossed for another safety car free 101 but sadly not. Plenty of carnage throughout but thoroughly entertaining and great to have live coverage on television in Australia and NZ.
Great strides for the category |

Post produced tv coverage for Highlands Pecky.
Very interesting results. Shows what a great concept and format the Endurance Championship has been in 2016. Some battle damage from the sprint races on Saturday put pay to a few lining up on Sunday. Not sure what is wrong with 23 starters though? |

I think some were damaged from Friday as well, a concerning problem for these close in succession OS rounds, some probably fixed in Australia (some were well damaged though) Never said there was anything wrong with 23 starters, why do you ask? (and why did one five five fell the need to bring VASC into it, bit defensive I guess) |
