Meanwhile, rumours are swirling around the paddock that newly crowned AR 3.5 champion Bastiaan van Nieuwenhuijzen is looking to join the grid as part of a "Racing for Holland" entry, with Jan Lammers reputedly pulling the strings, with Martin van der Meyde and Jeroen Bleekemolen other key members of the rumoured driving team. Nudge nudge, wink wink

Grenada's John Bovy, who also competed in this year's Touring Car Masters, is listening to all offers.

Anthony Byrne Cars (ABC) would like to sign both Bean and Bovy if possible.

Any team and/or ownership conglomerate who participates in the GTR WC that are showed initial intent to enter or have officially entered the upcoming 2017 Kyalami 9 Hour endurance event using a GT1 specification car will have their entry revoked starting from the beginning of the 2018 season and continuing onward.

Each team or ownership conglomerate when they initally recieved their entry to race, in any GTR-sanctioned event, all agreed to the terms of exclusivity relating to the usage of the cars that currently are, will be included in the future, or already have expired from the official GT1 homologation list for the vehicles used to participate in the championship. Usage of these vehicles in the 2017 Kyalami 9 Hour event is in direct violation of the agreement that everyone signed and agreed to at the beginning of their respective campaigns of the last two seasons of the GTR WC.

Failure to rectify this discrepency will result in the immeadiate seizure of all vehicles, vehicle spares, and all equipment required to run the vehicles.

Nonsensical Qualms

After the GTR Commision's announcement about the GTR-based teams that could or should run the Eskom Kyalami 9 Hours, the series current team champion, Union Saver Developments Board of Directors raised it's voice.
"We don't understand the issues of Commision about this race. Aside the fact that it's the off season, most of the GTR teams that can or could race here aren't even using the homologated models that are exclusive of the series. For all we know, it's like the GTR-C doesn't want us to develop the cars for the 2018 season"

Ricardo Llosa, USD's team leader and one half of the series driver champions also had some things to say. "From the perspective of the drivers, we all want to race, no matter the circumstances. The revival of a classic endurance race here in Kyalami is something to cheer up, and I clearly see no problem in it's running. it's not particulary harming GTR as it is whatsoever."

"We already discussed this plan months before and have already some news circulating around in internet for three months at such as motorsport.com, autosport, and speedcafe. Those are one of the most accessed motorsport news site, so given the time and the current high-age technology, I'm surprised that GTR Commission didn't notified us about such agreement or to contact us about what they wanted so we could discussed it, unlike this sudden news. Surely the entry list is almost-full now and I'm determined to get this going with current rule," Giuseppe Markus.
