2013 Australian GT Championship
Just noticed that Aus GT has changed their calendar for next year from one event (Bathurst) to 4 events. I wonder if there is only going to be the four or will they add some more later (I hope so).

Reading this weeks AA, i'm pretty sure that Tony Quinn said that there would be about 6 rounds with the possibility of Winton also. |

Hope the night race returns at Clipsal, that was a good idea.
Read in AA a few weeks back that Mark Eddy is looking to buy a R8 LMS Ultra for the 2013 season. |

Queensland Raceway perks my interest - will it be part of Shannons or V8s? Should try to get to SMP to check out the changes there too...

That's a much better calendar than what they had in 2012...No rounds where the GT guys struggle to get 90minutes in total on track for a race weekend...
