Geez that New Zealand guys not a bad driver….

 

[DEVO]

The final 10 laps were brilliant. Rain makes the racing so much fun to watch.

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

That was a fun race. Fair effort after the double stack.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Those mixed tyre races are awesome. Brings it to life

 

[BomberFan355]

Best race of the year.

 

[hey shorty]

Cars or canoes this afternoon

 

[BomberFan355]

This all seems a little soft to me, get on with the race.

 

[Sqotty from office works]

I'm drinking with 4 V8 fans who are going ballistic at this no race.
Thier opinions range from.
Learn to drive in the rain like every other person who holds a licence.
This stuff spells the death knell for car racing in Australia.
Will they suspend Bathurst if it rains and there is water across track.
Do what I do "slow down".
Didn't they run the warm up race?
When this track was reconstructed didn't drainage laterally on all kerbsides get done.
Who's in charge of this cluster clusterfukc?

 

[hey shorty]

Race done

Well done SVG on another championship

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Rubbish. Pretty much will never race in the rain again.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Wish they would shelve the top 10 shootout as well. Don't rate it outside bathurst.

It's getting a bit that way.

The last thing this category needs is races being stopped due to rain, viewers will turn off rather than get excited for quality racing.

Darren Cahill > Supercars drivers.

I'll give you guys some time if you don't get it straight away.

It’s a shame the race was called off … I thought as a car driver you drive to the conditions …. I think they took the easy way out and made the decision because teams didn’t want their cars banged up before Bathurst …. What happens now with similar weather at any other race ?

 

[BomberFan355]

What happens when you paid to go see a race and didn't get to see it?

In most sports you get your money back if the game is washed out.

Harder to judge this one. The support categories got to race, but the main event didn't. Not sure what obligation that puts on the race organisers.

 

[BomberFan355]

Not bad

If it were a double header at the G between Collingwood and Richmond AFL and VFL teams, yet only the VFL game went ahead, would you expect your money back?
I would.

Anyone need a ticket for Bathurst?
I've got a 6 day General admission + paddock access ticket for sale. (Just the 1 ticket sorry)
Rrp $230 - happy to let it go for $100 ono.
PM me if you're interested or know someone who is.
Cheers

the race doesn't start until 12:15pm? feels like it starts later every year. I take it this is a TV driven (pardon the pun) decision?

 

[Big Sauce 21]

That has the makings for a disaster. 150 lap bathurst due to fading light.

Don't forget, it's also after the start of Daylight Savings this year.

Last year it was supposed to start at 11:30am, but was brought forward due to predicted bad weather.

I was going to suggest that it keeps getting brought forward year, after year, because the cars are getting faster - and the race time is getting shorter. They normally try to have it finish just before the start of the 6pm news. Sadly, that theory doesn't really stack up. The winning time in 2020 was 6hrs 10 min, which is only 8 minutes faster than the 1991 race (won by Skaife & Richards in 6hrs 19min).

 

[BomberFan355]

I think it's due to the daylight savings thing, it is a bit late though.

 

[deanc]

Getting close now folks - tidy promo this one:

and so the coverage can lead into the BBL. Didn’t realise it’s daylight savings time already
