More news you can use, from Mount Panorama, starting off with a car switch for one of the teams. M Motorsport were initially tabbed to race a KTM X-Bow GT2 class car at the Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hours. But a case of the new car blues has set in, and engine problems persisted with the Audi powered machine and it's 5-cylinder engine. As you will read, a deal has been made and M Motorsport will now race a borrowed Audi R8 GT3 machine.
Sports car racing, is my passion and I have been dedicated to it for well over two decades. A great quote from Steve McQueen in his 1971 movie, when he starred as Gulf Porsche driver Michael Delaney, comes to mind. "Racing is life. Anything that happens before or after, is just waiting." - Steve McQueen From the movie, "Le Mans" - 1971
