All good ideas, but the biggest issue is the cost of entering. Rumour was last year that several cars ran with us that could have run the 12 hour because they wanted a run at Bathurst but didn't want to fork out the huge cost for the 12 hour. You won't get half the prod sports field there with the current costs. Clipsal aside, I doubt you'd get half the Aus GT field there, and they have much deeper pockets.
Tyre contract needs to go.
Fuel contract could stay if the priced was reduced. I think most people would be happy to have fuel available for them at an event like this rather than carting it in themselves, but at nearly double the price...
Entry fees for the lower classes needs to be reduced, maybe halved?
