2018 Bathurst 12hr

[NSWCROW]

Declared under the " MKR Rule "

 

[Me Myself and I]

It’s supposed to be apart of the Intercontinental GT Challenge with a race at Laguna Seca and somewhere else but I don’t know if that’s actually happening.

4 races spread over 8 months? It's barely a series anyway.

Please for next year.

Loved covettes since I was a kid.

Would love a GT3 spec to come but with HSV bringing out the "other" GT racer for purchase they will ve pushing that.

Aston and the 488 i can see.

But can anyone afford a GT40?

True. That Beamer team was big news as was the Bentley.

Straka Racing and WRT are 2 of the bigger teams.

I should say Ford GT, Not GT40

There are only Ford GTs in GTE spec which race in IMSA and WEC. Callaway are making Corvettes that have been racing Europe for a while but I doubt we’ll see them coming here soon, and GM have never made Camaro’s for GT3 racing, so they won’t be used. I’m hoping that we see a couple of Acura NSXs now that Acura have approved them to be racing outside of the US.

Manthey Racing in the fluro Porsche are a big name team too, they ran Porsche’s factory team in WEC GT team for a while.

There are GT3 Cameros though. Holden and HSV have said previously they are looking into it. Not saying definate but i think itll be a good idea if they are going to sell the car to race it. Good promotion

Those GT3 Camaros were made by Reiter, a German company who also made the Lamborghini Gallardo GT3. Was never actually an official GM product. Similar to Erebus running the Mercs in V8 Supercars without Merc actually ever officially being apart of it. The Reiter Camaro’s are also 3 generations old and uncompetitive compared to the newer factory based cars.

Toyota Supra to the 12 hour? Yes please!

Sean Hanley (Toyota Australia sales and marketing boss) says the Supra could spearhead a return to Bathurst in the future, although not as part of the Supercar circus. “I wouldn’t rule out the potential to look at the 12-hour at some point,” he says.

[hey shorty]

BMW engine in it I believe, looks awesome.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

What about a Corolla at the 6 hour?

That'll get me going!

Corolla used to win it's class every year at Bathurst back in the day.

I believe its a Z4 going by the looks of it.

Also:
"The car’s return was made possible through a joint venture with BMW, which will produce a “twin under the skin” to the Supra called the Z4."
