What's keeping Mr van Gisbergen away from the MacLaren?

Is he already booked elsewhere?

Clashes with the A7CC All Historic Winton

And look at what I spotted at the MX Nationals round at Murray Bridge today.

[bortall]

I wonder if we will see the DeFelice Ferrari at this event?

It was in the program for this weekends state round, but wasn't there and I'm sure Tony D'Alberto said he had a drive in the Ferrari for next weekend.

Correct.

Assuming administration all happens ok this week, we'll be there.

We've done three tests since the Bathurst crash rebuild, and decided to pull out of sandown this weekend, to prioritise the 101.

Great to see the Vicious Rumour Ferrari confirmed FF.

[DAVID PATERSON]

What's the difference between GT Trophy class and GT Challenge class?

[D.R.T.]

My understanding that the Trohpy class is for pre 2011 FIA GT3 cars.

Where as GT Challenge is for non FIA GT3 cars eg. Porsche Cup Cars, Ferrari Challenge 360/430 etc

Updated - However that doesn't explain the Rentcorp or Peter Conroy entries in the Trophy class, so I am not sure. Unless the distinction is due to the age or model of the various Cup Cars?
