Gold Coast - Carrera Cup
Any one know of a valid reason only 20 Carrera Cup cars are in attendance on the GOld Coast? Not a very good turn out for such a major showcase event.

Dunno, but I do know that Jimmy Richards is out for the weekend with a blown engine.
I this will hand the title to Fabian Coulthard barring any major stuff ups. |

I thought Porsche Australia took a spare engine to every event in the parts truck?

Doesn't say much for the category when a championship front runner can't get a replacement engine. I wonder if Jim will contest the series next year considering a new car has to be bought and i doubt they will be cheap.

Mr Richards is said to have lost one of his major sponsors also, which might mean 2005 is his swansong in the class....
