2015 Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hour: 6-8 February
Id love to see the Bentley down here but as said before it'd be bloody expensive so whoever did so would have to long arms into big pockets

How much is it to buy a Bentley gt3?
Current range is 200Euro for Camaro to 420 Euro for Ferrari I think.. Lambo around 320. |

I'm guessing that Bentley will be closer to price of Ferrari.
Surprised no one has mentioned Lowndes racing with AF Corse in this years Spa 24 |

Dunno re works only, but it would be a mistake if they tried it. In other news, the Vicious Rumour 458 clears the paint shop tomorrow for reassembly and we hope it can be together in time to make an appearance at Ferrari Racing days in Sydney next weekend... This is on top of the VRR doorslammer running at Calder this weekend, so we're busy! |

The Bentley is the most expensive GT3 out there by a long shot. Another 70K euro on a 458 plus a lot of unknowns.
It took a lot of work (and carbon fibre!) to turn that land whale into a GT3 contender. |

Three to four days from Micchelotto after ordering. The only delays I ever say were major bits (like engines!) that can take a while due to the waiting list for road cars. Anything that was more mundae or GT3 specific was delivered straight away.

Had some correspondence with Mok Weng Sun over the last couple of days and no surprise that they are definite starters for next year and in the Ferrari. Wonder whether the McLaren was tossed up ? Full driver line up not confirmed at this stage which may be a surprise to some as these guys have been pretty much locked in as soon as the race is over. Would think that Griffin and Baird in particular would be on quite a few teams wanted list.

If it welds in or on, it's a lot harder to get and fit, and even harder to fit correctly in the right spot, in a strong and correct manner. VRR car will test Monday 5th. The repairs have only consumed around 100 hours, but the team has no full time staff, so we all just do bits as we can. |

Interesting to see 888 Race Engineering UK are competing at Brands Hatch this weekend in the Blancpain Endurance round and are mentioning a possible B12 appearance in the future.
Could this involve 888s Australian V8 drivers? |

Sports Sedans are now on 2015 Bathurst Easter Festival Meeting Programme. I am wondering if that opening is caused by a category switching from that event to now be on the 12hr programme. Anyone know the 411?
(It would be great to get Production Sports running up there on that weekend). |

Top touring car squad Triple Eight Engineering will make its international sportscar debut in this month's Silverstone round of the Blancpain Endurance Series. The multiple British Touring Car Championship-winning team will field one of the BMW Z4 GT3s it is running in the British GT Championship in the second round of the BES on May 25 as part of a fact-finding mission for a possible international programme in the future. Triple Eight team boss Ian Harrison, whose team is in its second season in British GTs in 2014, told AUTOSPORT: "We're going to have a look at the BES and see how it goes - it's a case of suck it and see for us. "We are making progress as a team in British GTs and we do have international aspirations in sportscars, but at this stage we not ruling anything in or anything out. "We're definitely looking at the Abu Dhabi race [the Gulf 12 Hours] in December and the Bathurst 12 Hours next year; the beauty of the GT3 category is that you can use the cars all-year round." |

Yeah I just heard that on Sunday unfortunately. A bit of a shame as they are a perfect fit so hopefully it happens in 2016. Still wondering who has left the Apr Easter meet programme.
