Prior to 1997, the ATCC was a completely seperate entity, as far as organisation was concerned, to the Bathurst 1000. In your definition, they were 'commercial competitors'. You didn't see any of this rubbish going on though.

A 12hr race for GT cars at Bathurst is a big deal, and any lack of support for the 12hr from local GT teams does reflect poorly on GT racing in Australia as a whole, irrespective of whether AGT management is involved or not.

I don't see how the 12hr can survive for any lengthy period of time without the support of local competitors.
