Your entry seemed one of the better prepared local efforts this year. Should the event go ahead, it would be unfortunate to see you guys without a presence.
All the best for the unspecified 12 hour event.

I'd be somewhat surprised if this still goes ahead.

That's some pretty evident desperation.
Mal's running seems positive for the event. It's just unfortunate his being there is dependent on this specific package.
As an aside, the event organisers seem to have paid attention in some capacity:
- Event date - changed (earlier date).
- Tyre regulations - relaxed (options: Michelin, Hankook, Pirelli).
It's just a shame ArmorAll's withdrawing support places a 'one step forward, ten steps backward' vibe on proceedings.
The event's welfare is still pretty much dependent on their securing another event sponsor and, increasing the volume of local (both GT3/4 and touring) participation.
