THE PHILLIP ISLAND EIGHT HOUR:
I'm a huge fan of the Castrol Six Hour and subsequent Bel-Ray Six
Hour race series which all preceded this inaugural event. The Eight Hour
introduced a great deal more stress on man and machine and whilst some major
Manufacturers and Race Teams did not enter, the race was an excellent effort,
certainly a strong foundation for an ongoing annual event.
PRACTICE AND TOP TEN QUALIFYING: Practice sessions were
extensive, held over two days with a 'Super Q Australian Endurance - Top Ten
Teams' qualifying session at the end of the second day.
