Not as good as 2014 :)
Yeah I did enjoy the 2014 stopping of the race. And safety cars o_O

As the token chick in this thread, I honestly think she actually negatively affected females in this sport. She clearly isn't at the standard for it yet, they made a token all girls team rather than just earning a co-drive spot, and pretty much chucked a hissy fit after crashing the car. It's cool and all that they're opening up the sport for female drivers, but if there aren't any good enough, then they shouldn't be in it.

That's because most people are ignorant of motorsport outside of those front and centre on TV. He's competed in a lot of respected championships outside of V8s. Only dumb people dismiss a driver's talent because they don't have wins in what is considered a lowly series internationally like the V8 Supercars.

Some of the benevolent sexism on show with some even calling her a hero for getting the car back the the pits has been cringe-worthy.

Yes
If he wasn't already , a 6th Bathurst crown cements " The Kid " as an immortal :thumbsu:

Brock - 9

J Richards - 7
Lowndes , Skaife , Perkins - 6
He would have 10 by now if they didnt change the rules because he and whincup combined are unbeatable . So Bathurst wins these days are 10 times tougher than Brocks days

Couple of runner-ups in there too.

Was thinking about it last night , he's 41 now , how many more full-time years does he have left in him ?
And i can see him jagging a few late in his career as a co-driver at Bathurst too ( ala Jimmy Richards with Skaifey a few years ago. )

I reckons he'll be at Triple Eight for another 5 years at least, then probably scale down to co-driver roles. I don't think he'd be one to go into the media

What's he competed in outside v8s?
