Friday Bathurst News Update #2

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.
