Bathurst 1000 support classes

So is the rumour true about the Lotus series? Are they gone from the B1000 support races at the mountain? If so who will replace them?

If that's true then probably NO-ONE will replace them.

MN reports that the series has concluded for the season, presumably this means any future racing events are not happening either.

It would be nice if WPS could bring its ChampCar to the mountain, I mean the engine managed to reappear from Cosworth in time for the Townsville street parade and burnout session last week....

Interesting that the GTP 2hour at Queensland Raceway was cancelled aswell.

I think the GTP race was never going to get the cars that race at the front....racing at dusk in front of 5 people? and banging up the machinery for no good reason? hmmmm sounds like fun.... NOT

As for the B1000 I was told that the Aussie Racing Cars were a good chance to Support as they had a good showing there at Easter?

Or is there another catagory in line for this?

If invited

We would give them 50+ if they want them, If only

The announcement was made at the 11th hour, the entry fee wasn't small and it wasn't for points in the Championship, so not surprisingly, the entry was very poor. The promoter than had no choice but to cancel.

Did they charge as much as they did for the Biante boys?

More I'm told!

Are you going out there this weekend David? If so, pop in & say hi...

alfacors · 21 Jul 2006, 02:01 (Ref:1661155)

Good luck this weekend Sultan!

David - more than the Biantes??? No wonder the support wasn't there..

DAVID PATERSON · 21 Jul 2006, 13:05 (Ref:1661484)

Sultan, I walked through your paddock late today and it was all but abandoned, though i did chat to Kerry Finn, he was very happy to be sixth fastest.

Spunky · 25 Jul 2006, 22:57 (Ref:1664568)

Invitations went out to Aussie Racing Cars, Utes and two others, I don't believe the Utes will get the numbers due to racing at Indy 2 weeks later, and the Aussie Racers have quite a lot of P platers which are not allowed at the mountain. So who will accept VESA gracious invitation?

The Bathurst 1000 is a round of the Biante Model Cars Historic Touring Car series.
