The British team will field a multi-car entry in this year’s championship, with anywhere up to three new-for-2024 S650 Mustang GT4s running in Academy’s distinctive colours.
That's great news & just what they need with a totally new car that has no previous data to call on.
I thought just the one would be running as per usual.![]()
I learnt something new about GT4 in this article.
I know the M4 and Supra use a 7 speed. I remember Tony Longhurst explaining his then new M4 used the road car gearbox. I think it's still a seven speed. Edit: it's still uses the 7-speed with ZF software. Not sure if that cuts seventh gear though.I learnt something new about GT4 in this article.
I always thought that you had to run the gearbox that came with the car, irrespective of how many ratios that included.
Porsche PDK = 7 forward ratios
Aston Martin = 8 forward ratios
I didn't know all cars were limited to 6 speeds, and I'm disappointed in that.
Yes, I understand about the overdrive ratios for 2000rpm @ 400km/h etc...I know the M4 and Supra use a 7 speed. I remember Tony Longhurst explaining his then new M4 used the road car gearbox.

That seventh and eighth gears in the AM are probably geared at a crazy 400kph for low rpm highway cruising.![]()
I might have to watch videos of old and new GT4 Mustangs.Yes, I understand about the overdrive ratios for 2000rpm @ 400km/h etc...
But what about the Mustang or Camaro that have the 10-speed AT?
AFAIK, they have to run the 6MT.
Still l8mited to 6 ratios & have to work a lot harder than pulling paddles with the added ability and pressure of missing a shift.
Just seems like an unfair playing field.

As with the LT1, the use of a sequential transmission also required a waiver from the SRO Technical Department. At the rear, a limited-slip differential is also sourced from Xtrac.
I remember reading in the Top Gear Australia issue debuting of GT3 and GT4 several GT4 cars using manual transmissions. Crazy how long ago it was when V8s were loosing the H-pattern at the time.Gearbox Tremec 6060 six-speed manual transmission with close-ratio gearing

Speaking of which.
16 cars for Sandown should see an increase for Rd.1 at the Island, cause there were cars still 'on the boat'.Stiiiilll waiting for the list. We just know of the sixteen cars that were to race at Sandown.
A weird one is this weekend's events in Tassie. The Ben Newman AMG GT4 is racing in a multi-car sedan series.
For sure. I’m interested to see who ordered that Mustang. Just hope the AMG isn’t damaged before PI.16 cars for Sandown should see an increase for Rd.1 at the Island, cause there were cars still 'on the boat'.
Not sure where Ben Newman calls home, or where he keeps the AMG, but if it's not Tassie then he's spent quite a bit on a Symmons Plains shakedown for next weekend.
Are they confirmed as joining the crowd locally, or was the post just showing the 11 Makes/Models eligible for GT4?I’m actually more surprised see the Supra and Nissan Z.
Ah yeah, you’re probably right.Are they confirmed as joining the crowd locally, or was the post just showing the 11 Makes/Models eligible for GT4?
