You have to hand it to supercars. They're the massive bog that won't allow itself to be flushed.

I did think that, but running an actual Toyota/Lexus V8 rather than the BMW 6 they have in them makes some sense tooWould be much more interesting if the Supras would run turbo sixes instead of shortening irrelevant V8s into them.

It's a fair comment.It would certainly make sense of they would just rerebrand as V8 supercars again and be fine with it. Otherwise, the Supra built it's cult following based on being a turbo 6. Can't see a Supra silhouette running a V8 engine (even if it is a Toyota one) really appealing terribly much to rotors and especially Supra fans.
Also, I personally like mechanical variety so find just adding another V8 decidedly unappealing.
They've taken 2 years to get 2 V8 engines somewhere near parity, it'll take them a decade to work out an inline 6 turbo.Wasn't the whole point of rebranding to "Supercars", dropping the"V8" from "V8 Supercars", supposed to reflect the recognition that other engine types would soon be allowed back into the category?
Obviously we don’t want a return to the days of the Ford Sierras and Nissan's Godzilla, which had a massive power to weight advantage over the Commodore. We still want the cars to have parity. With the wind tunnel (aerodynamic) and engine testing that they're doing now, they should be able to tune/map a V6 Turbo engine to provide the Supras with an output which allows parity with the Mustangs and Camaros.

I'll be there, spent a fair bit of coin to get there too.... wont be super happy if it works out that way.If the Mustangs don’t look competitive again this year at Bathurst I’m turning it off early.
You're new, and I don't mean to be rude if I come across that way.I'll be there, spent a fair bit of coin to get there too.... wont be super happy if it works out that way.
I've made a few Bathurst related trips, it's a great weekend.You're new, and I don't mean to be rude if I come across that way.
If you're spending any money on anything related to supercars, you deserve all the misery you get.
I know, but then you can win every AFL game for the year and lose the GF, due to injuries before or in game.I'm not sure that I like the new "Finals" concept. I like having Sprint & Enduro champions - but I don't like the way the top-10 finals series works.
My biggest gripe is the way it brings dominant drivers back to the pack. A driver could win every one of the Sprint & Enduro races, leading the Championship by the equivalent of 2 entire rounds going into the finals. They then get punted in one finals race by a useless pay-driver like Macauley Jones, leaving them unable to make up the points differential in the other races. They are then out of the Championship, through no fault of their own, despite dominating all season.
I'm also not in favour of drivers who are out of the Championship having nothing to aim for, other than line honours. Then again, I guess this is the reality they face now, under the existing point system.
I do like the changes they've made to the race formats, and the extra racing they will provide.
I don't like the 500 being raced at The Bend, purely because The Bend is such a boring racetrack.
Sandown is a dump though.Sandown 500 is way more entertaining then the B(ore)end.
The finals concept is too heavily weighted against dominant drivers as stated above.
Otherwise, it’s good to see a change up in format.
