I spoke to Jason about this and even put my name down for an entry when it was at 3.5k.
I memory serves me correctly the cars will be on some form of Pirelli race tyre. Whether it is a semi or a slick is dependant on what Pirelli come up with as they are a sponsor. - Tyre degradation worried me, although apparently there will hundreds of rotations, but still....... not hard to get a bad one, or how about an over or under inflated corner? How pissed would ya be!
I asked how much track time would be allowed, would there be a practice session, and was told no, and that what one of the reasons I decided to withdraw my interest.
I was glad that I did when a couple of days later the website was opened and I see that these would be judging on "talent, speed, flair, agility and car control".... who's judging?
Additionally, what to garuntee that preffessional drivers don't enter. Jason said they wouldn't be allowed, siting that anyone with V8 Supercar experience wouldn't be allowed. What abouyt someone like Steve Glenney? I wouldn't back myself against Steve if he only had three wheels!
So, after mulling it over the Snowy, I decided not to do it... maybe I'll kick myself one day, (my old man said go for it but he would lol), but ..... I'm in motorsport for the fun and I don't need the stress of an event like this.
edit: I wish Jason all the best luck with it though, and hope it works well and that everyone has a ball
