Mega Thread 2012 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 4th - 8th Oct

[tasmanlvr]

Shaping up to be an amazing lap by Whincup whether or not he scores pole. Like Skaife in 2000 when he finished top three in the worst conditions of all the runners.

 

[toxic]

oh no.....

EDIT - aaaaaaand......unclench mate

YESSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Simple Jack]

Feel sorry for Whincup, that lap was mega.

Feel sorry for Whincup, that lap was mega.

I don't $$$$$$$$$$

Van Gisbergen doing a Lleyton Hewitt

Craig Lowndes car looked worst then yesterday they need to find more pace otherwise he & Luff will find it hard.

Did any of you guy's watch the Dunlop Series Nick Percat had a great battle with Chaz Mostert.

Did any of you guy's watch the Dunlop Series Nick Percat had a great battle with Chaz Mostert.

That was an epic battle. They are the futures of the sport - I can see Chaz paired with Frosty next year at Sandown/Bathurst.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Chaz knocked back a chance to race this year in the 1000.

He , Percat and Pye are very close getting a full time drive,

Chaz knocked back a chance to race this year in the 1000.

Heard that during the telecast. I don't blame him. Fair bit of pressure given Frosty is in a championship battle.

 

[rayven]

Mostert spooked himself big time 3 laps out trying to pass Percat.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Actually the top 3 could of ended up getting a DNF.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

No big deal because they don't have a decent car to take out the race.

The #91 Tekno Autosports Commodore of Michael Patrizi and Jonny Reid will start five grid places lower than it qualified after an altercation with Jason Bright in yesterday’s qualifying session

How is it this decision took so long - surely it was a no brainer?? but as u said, no big deal as they are just traffic

[NSWCROW]

UGH !!!!
What kind of ungodly hour is THIS !?!?

 

[larrikin]

What was that shit?

 

[toxic]

No better day - gives me an excuse to put my horse bets on at 10am, race home for start of the race and crack that first Jim Beam as the race commences!!

Kernagan - get the f**k off

It really is a perfect Sunday - GO BRIGHTYYYY

 

[Simple Jack]

If I was in charge, pretty well this entire intro would be banned by law.

One day sporting organisations will realise that we don't want washed up local hacks crapping out some cheesy song before events, but it is not this day.

 

[NSWCROW]

Luff starting in the 888 car.

 

[larrikin]

Luff starting in the 888 car.

That car looks awesome

 

[NSWCROW]

888 with tyre issues
Frosty cuts a tyre

Dunlop blaming the drivers......

EDIT - safety car surely

 

[tasmanlvr]

Another tyre issue, Whincup this time.

Dunlop, WTF is going on?

 

[NSWCROW]

This is gonna turn into CHOOK LOTTO methinks

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

They're chewing through tires. If you go off what Whinchup was told they're getting damaged on the curbs.

 

[toxic]

Seems some teams have the set up right and are not chewing tyres, others are having them for brekky, lunch & dinner. Camber versus Curbs versus pressure

 

[NSWCROW]

Tander / Percat out
