They've got that car going well, hopefully it's nothing too serious with the GT.

GT hit the wall after a coming together. Will be out for rest of weekend most likely, but back for the 24 hour.

Pity though, cos it was running 5th prior to the smash...!!

Great result guys, go the T3!

russellw · 10-24-2003, 04:26

Another good showing - so far (and I know development is a part of this) the T-Series is showing the GT the way in much the same way as the road cars.

Cheers

Team GT had good times and some unfortunate times at the 2003 Lexmark Indy 300.

The TE50 had a great race event in the hands of John Falk.
Race 1 was 2nd
Race 2 was 5th
Race 3 was 4th
Overall for the event the TE50 (Team GT) achieved a 3rd Outright Position and a Podium Finish for the final round of the Procar GT Performance Championship.

The GT was strong as in Race 1 and on lap 4 was running 5th when driver Trevor Haines had a coming together with Gary Holt (Mitsubishi EVO7) at turn 3.
The unfortunate result of the incident was that the FPV GT went into the wall and suffered enough damage not to allow it to continue for the event.

The GT is already back at the workshop and being repaired and prepared for the Bathurst 24 Hour Event to be held on the 20th to 23rd November 2003.

Will the TE50 be competing in the 24hr event. It would be great to see if it can better it's outright 9th placing overall last year. Oh yeah go the GT too!

RPO83 · 10-25-2003, 23:56

A good result, will be even better when the GT comes good.
