Woo hoo,that little annoying pip-squeak Grant Denyer is out of the race with a dickie back

 

[NSWCROW]

NEVER FORGET !!!!!!!

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Besnard's nasty crash last year.

 

[rayven]

This is the last great Holden vs Ford battle.

It was 25 years ago the seeds of what has turned out an extraordinary tintop category were sowed.




Next year the Europeans and Japanese return in what could be a global brand of tintop motor racing, born out of this festival.

 

[Beetlebum]

This is the year for FPR..it's got to be..surely.

 

[Ruddeger07]

The 3 FPR cars are running a retro livery.The #5 & #6 cars are running the 1977 1-2 finish [Allan Moffat and Colin Bond] liverys and the Bottle-O car is running the 1967 winning livery of harry Firth & Fred Gibson.

This is the year for FPR..it's got to be..surely.

Do they do what it takes for the team to win or let all 3 go at it individually?

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Woo hoo,that little annoying pip-squeak Grant Denyer is out of the race with a dickie back

Cameron Waters will replace him in only his 2nd ever V8 Supercars race.

I dare say Mclaren made a report about what this track needs to host open wheelers of this catagory.

How good was that intro !!!!

EDIT -

This man deserved a mention.



The 308 in brocks car that would of overtaken the two lead TWR jags, blew its oil pump, a rare event in the 13 bathursts that design of motor had done. Walkinsaw was a lucky boy.

He couldn't beat us, so he joined us and HRT is his legacy..

 

[Ruddeger07]

Any chance either of the 3 commentators would know the rules ?
GT crashes and causes a red flag and they bang on how he's now excluded from qualifying.Wait,let's check with Frank Adamson - nope,that rule only applies in sprint rounds.Surely Skaife,a VESA bigwig, should've known that rule.

 

[Spiritsof82]

How good was that intro !!!!

EDIT -

Would've been better if Channel 7 hadn't have doctored the old footage and blurred or digitally removed all of the Malbro advertising from the HDT cars and probably the cigarette advertising from Moffits cars. Whats next, to blank out the advertising on the jumpers of players in footage of old AFL games just because they don't like it. Its history, leave it alone.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Tander is very lucky to make it in to the top 10 shootout i thought he was screwed & would have started last.

7 were bias today and need to lift they were cheering for Lowndes to make the shootout which is not on.

Waters & Dixon may as well pull out they are not up to it and both are only racing because they won a TV show.

It's C7, did you expect the commentary to be good?

Waters & Dixon may as well pull out they are not up to it and both are only racing because they won a TV show.

You'd think they'd learnt after last year?? Even with talent, young kids shouldn't be racing the Bathursst 1000. Getting in earlier than normal didn't help Cameron McConville' career and another kid, who raced there 20 years ago, in his late teens, Forgot his name, though.

Waters & Dixon - just think what would happen if they took out guy's like Whincup and Winterbottom who are fighting it out for the series.

I'll surprised if they are still racing after lap 25.

 

[toxic]

Can Jason Bright place in the top 3? seemed to be on a flier in final qualifying before hitting traffic and has a very consistent record of finishing the race strongly??

He can but i am not sure he can this year because Andrew Jones is not the best co-driver going around.
