Interesting to see that these GT3 cars appear to be marginally faster than the v8 supercars at this track, nice to see proper GT3 cars after watching the dumbed down GT3 cars at the Daytona 24 hours. Thanks for the link GTR.

I missed the first 2.5 hours thanks to a nice sleep in.

I'm loving the stream. Home alone with the lappie hooked up though the 50in plasma.

Screw the gardening!

This, and not too mention there are several cars that did qualify that should really be slower than the Falcon. No disrespect intended but this suggests the drivers themselves aren't up to the job, and you really don't want to have drivers that are not up to speed at Bathurst in a 12 hour race with cars running sub 2:10. Unless there were extenuating circumstances, the officials made the correct decision excluding them. IMHO

Yes and no. Yes Aus GT is pretty good but what's making this race so great to watch is the GT's mixing with the Prod cars, this is true endurance racing imo.

TBH in Australia, Production Sportscars is probably closer to this. Why I love racing with Prod Sports! Time for a plug for the Bathurst Motor Festival at Easter long weekend, come out and watch us in the Prod Sports 1 Hour

Edit: Ted's Lambo often runs with us in Prod Sports, be interesting if he can rebuild before Easter.

Just seems a shame to me not to make this event part of the Australian GT championship. The series runs to GT3 regulations so would surely only strengthen the event. Similar things have happened in other races such as the Spa 24 hours, for years it was part of the FIA GT championship. Too bad we dont get any coverage of Aussie GT's anymore, from what I have seen on the entry list and results pages there seems to be some decent quality.

Er no, if I was with Vodafail I'd be unable to get online in the first place

Just in a average coverage area, fine for general surfing and what not but forget about streaming, doesnt hurt to try eh?

I'll just grab the DVD when it comes out. Been such an interesting race so far and we're not even half way.

Yeah awesome race so far, I've got work to do but can't drag myself away from the screen lol! I haven't even had breakfast yet.

I reckon also, there were a lot of people commenting pre race re the lack of entries, it would be nice to have a few more but it's not showing as an issue in the coverage. Anyone want to comment what it's like trackside?

Final Lamborgini is in the wall

I reckon it's a bit premature the driver getting out so quick. Didn't look like a big hit.
