2015 Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hour: 6-8 February - Page 47

If it's tied to current SRO BOP, would you not be due a change? Grasser and Reiter have both been rather quick in the Blancpain Sprint Series, however much Catsberg and Bleekemolen add to their pace.

KSM86 · 29 Oct 2014, 21:53 (Ref:3469832)

Updated entry list, and cap of 55 cars removed.also they reckon another 4 A class cars to enter. Looking good

rich07 · 29 Oct 2014, 21:57 (Ref:3469834)

Another 4 A class cars? Where from?

Mike Hedlund · 29 Oct 2014, 21:58 (Ref:3469835)

Man, I want to do this race so bad! Haven't had much luck finding a seat though. Maybe next year. And hopefully next year they fix the date clash cause I'd like to meet some of the V8 Supercar drivers!

A friend of mine has had some correspondence with Laurens Vanthoor in the past couple of weeks and he stated that a Bathurst return in 2015 would be very likely

Really hope one of the crack Audi squads enter 2 cars.

And i'm just gonna go out here on a whim & hope its Marc VDS with a pair of Z4's

Surely Phoenix, but 1 or 2 cars ?

We may have found a home for Mr Luff ?
28 cars in Class A coming from 9 manufacturers.

Just when you thought things couldn't possibly get any better..

Two cars. Aston Martin GT3s. Craft Bamboo Racing. It's happening.

Happy 100 days to go everyone!

Strange considering the V8SC world now, and its forebears, is the source of most of the racing content in AMC..

Yeah me too. I saw it in the supermarket with Dicks Sierra on the front and had a read when I got home. Good to see the editor using his column to air his views on the matter.

It's stories like this that makes the 12hr such a special event.

Strange (yet very refreshing) considering Mr West's previous reporting history was very much pro V8SA.

Very strong words provided by AMC - they wont be supporting sabotage.

Fantastic.. but does it put their future centrepiece articles at risk?

I can't see it affecting the mag. The cars mostly have private owners and I can't see the veterans of years past giving a rats about what V8SC says about their involvement with the magazine.

In 10 years time , the cars of today will be those being talked about. Seems odd to want to pee in your pond for no particular purpose

He's just backing up what everyone is already thinking ....

Whether your a manufacturer or team like Nissan , Erebus

A driver like Craig Lowndes, SVG, Rick Kelly, Wil Davison

A reporter from Speedcafe / Auto Action

You've been told by an organisation that you must be @ Sydney Motorsport Park ...

Telling stakeholders in a very small clicky industry you 'Cant do something' will come back to bite #V8SC

All of these parties are missing, what is becoming, THE BEST ENDURANCE RACE IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE....

A lot of people have spoken out about this and rightly so.

What is for sure , the 2015 B12Hrs will be huge - and no date clash will stop the momentum this race has.

If #V8SC date clash in 2016 ... I think the backlash could be so huge, it could destroy the very nature of #V8SC - stakeholders might angrily put up with being played with once, but twice - Game over.

The B12Hrs has already won the race - this event has a future. #V8SC is in the process of working out its mess - but its impending formula looks like it will be a combination of GT3 looks and COTF base .... might as well call em sports sedans.

#V8SC won the war in 1997/98 against the world 2L formula... Milk comes in 2L they said .... well tissues come in boxes, and Warburton has well and truly boxed himself into a corner on this one.

To our international audience - B12Hrs is here to stay - thank you for taking an interest in what will be one of the most Epic motorsport events on the annual calendar.
