Coming in just a few weeks,

This year promises to raise the level with the GT cars now included in the line up, plenty of exotic machinery to take part.

Today the Donut King GTR confirmed as a starter in with the likes of Audi R8's, Lamborghini's, Mosler's, Ferrari's and plenty of Porsche's

Further add the production car and should be a great mix of motorsport.

Just hope everyone can keep it clean for the race and stay off the walls.

TV and Webcast to be finalized in the coming week

Webcast hey?????

Rhys

Will have to double check, the web cast last year was pretty popular (considering 8 hours was under safety car in the torrential rain)

had live twitter feeds attached from teams, race control. Very informative.

2x Ferrari team to be announced in the next couple of days. John Bowe behind the wheel of one, and the 2nd a British GT team.

The Mark Eddy Audi will be quick with Mr Lowndes behind the wheel.

Further the Vodka O Mosler will be quick, was involved in trying to organize a few more Mosler's but we ran out of time.

Last i heard no Ford GT GT3's (currently have 4 for sale if anyone is interested :thumbsup: ) or GT3 Corvette's Entered

I was asked to drive for Kennard in his Spec C STi (the ex-Denyer car from 2007) but decided against it, one reason being my lack of experience with MUCH quicker cars overtaking. I think that woulda been frightening on Conrod with Deano is his Mosler banging my wing mirrors off with a 100klm/h speed difference.

Kennard has decided to share a car with Herridge instead of trying to put his own crew together.

Hopefully its a great event with minimal incidents!

I can certainly see that point of view benno. I agree it would be not much fun tootling down conrod in a prod car slowing inching your way towards 200km/h as you check your temps, change the CD etc and 2 GT spec cars dicing for a podium give you the short back and sides at nearly 300km/h. definite brown moment. maybe they can provide a cool suit hooked up to a nappy that can also pump in reverse to clear any.... ummm... waste?

From what I hear, entries are just into the double digits. Organiser asking past participants, who'd previously been told, "don't call us, we'll have a GT grid", now being courted.....I doubt there's the financial resources of a Ross Palmer to prop up the show, should numbers not materialize either.....but with the allure of Bathurst, might be a last minute rush of the miffed.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
