The TV coverage didn't portray the race properly.

The VIP Evo wasn't 4 laps ahead on pace, it was 4 laps up as it ran trouble free while others had problems, then their problems struck and the others caught back up

The race was top heavy with competitive cars, the Pro-Duct Evos, the VIP and the Hunter Subari in particular. The Pro-Duct Evo's were all out by mid-race due to a problem with their fuel tanks (which sent the Crompton/Seton car up in smoke), while the Hunter Subaru suffered 4 right-front punctures in the opening hours of the race, which ultimatly saw them switch tyre brands mid-race, and allowed them to run down the Morcom BMW and take victory.

The problem for Production cars in certainly not too many enduro's, infact enduro's is what the entrants have been asking for. The problems have been a lack or stability in the organisation of the CAMS Australian Championship and the PCAA, which have hopefully been fixed for this season.

The EC race was a late announcement, and there was some opposition from the PCAA towards some of the rules used in the race (as it wasn't a championship round for anything, just an ARDC-promoted enduro, they adjusted some of the regs). The race did offer significant prizemoney though ($8000 for first in class), so it was a shame more cars weren't in attendance. Watching in person though it was an absorbing and interesting race, which unfortunatly seemingly wasn't conveyed in the post-produced TV coverage

The 8hr is confirmed for this year though
