Hi res of everything available on request!

[SFDMALEX]

Why are those 360s challenges and not gts?

Anyway great pics mate. That looks like an awesome mix of cars.

[sameerrao]

Lovely pics ... can you give us more details about the pro-car series...

[68-998]

Here is the procar website:

http://www.procar.com.au

Unfortunately, that was the last race of the season, and Procar has shut up shop, so we'll have to see what happens next year.

Basically, there were 4 catagories:

Nations Cup: Lamborhini Diablo, Porsche GT2/GT3, Ferrari 360's, NSX etc.
GT Performance: WRX's, Evo's, M3's, R32 Golfs etc.
GT Production: Basically production cars. Corollas, Beetles, Copen, lots of cars.
V8 Brutes: Ford and Holden V8 Utes (last pic)

Good racing, mix of privateers and factory backed teams. Lots of varying driver ability and car speed.

Thanks .. Nice that they race at Bathurst ... awesome track .... I was impressed with it on Grand Prix Legends....

[68-998]

Bathurst is indeed an awesome track. I've driven around it (slowly, as its a public 2 way road) and it's a lot steeper than it looks!

The Diablo took out the series this year by the way.

[TT]

Very nice pics! Do you happen to have the GT2 ones in high-res? :)

[dingo]

Thanks 68-998, I'm impressed with the quality of cars in the parking lot.
If its not too much trouble I'd like the Monaro and the first 2 GT2 pictures in high-res, thanks. I haven't seen one of the new Monaro's on the road yet. :(

[68-998]

Yeah, I have them at a full 5MP :).

I'll send them when I get home tonight.

I was pretty surprised to see the Monaro in the parking lot dingo!

The GT2 was awesome. Thought it was a turbo from a distance. It overtook me on the way to the track. I sped up so that I could see what kind of acceleration it had while I was doing 120 km/h (130 km/h top speed :)) and it just went past like it was bored. Probably didn't even shift down :).
