The Offical Bathurst Watch & Post Thread

[B-Man]

Hi Folks,

Since I have a busted leg - I've set myself up on the lounge with my notebook and TV. I'[ll be watching the race from start to end today - posting comments and discussion as the race goes one.

So sit back - get your wireless keyboards out - turn the TV on to Channel 10 and get prepared to see plenty of Supercheap Auto ads.

Viewing starts in 10 mins......

[T04GTR]

[B-Man]

Yeah - it's sad news indeed. Hope he pulls through !

50 mins till the start !

[B-Man]

Thanks B-man - Skaife is out!

"Appears a slipping clutch from the get go for Mark Skaife put himway back in the feild - horrors of all horrors - Jack in the JD car has slammed into the back of him and forced him into the concrete barrier on both sides of the track"

I saw an interview with the 2 rookies driving the Jack Daniels cars yesterday and was impressed they made it to Bathurst at there age (19 n 20yo). Sh!t happens.

cars going out everywhere now

[sigsputnik]

this is the first year in maybe 25 that i've watched bathurst. it's pretty interesting - heartbreaking to watch skaife.

i really wish, though, that they would have cars other than commodores and falcons. i'm not familiar with the rules so don't know why this isn't done.

hope your leg gets better soon b-man.

[B-Man]

Thanks dude !

laughed my arse off when skaife got put in the wall.

laughed my arse off again when lowndes said he was watching the big screen while they were showing underneath his car.

Aussie made cars and V8's only - dont get me wrong I think this gr8 and quite spectacular to watch, I'm a big fan of the V8 Supercars.

Initially I beleive it changed to this because the Aussie made cars couldn't get a look in, and it has grown into THE premier event.

What can we do to get the HPI's into the same level in Australia ? Sure we have heaps of little events but they hardly get mentioned on the same scale.

Thanks Brad

[blk180]

That was a big off by the RAT

[sloazr33]

man there's been a lot of stacks.... crazy

These days the drivers are meant to be far more professionals with no real privateers...well not compared to 15 years ago...and sure the pace is a lot quicker and harder as the cars are generally more reliable...

BUT, what with the amount of pace cars? Are they just pushing too hard and noone can concentrate at that pace and level? Its funny to see so many mistakes

[mad082]

i think it is just the fact that the safety cars periods were so long. it took ages to get the rat out of his car, and the drivers were just not staying in the groove. and the track condition is changing while they are under the safety car, so they have to get the car up to temp again while learning the condition of the track. some people just seem to be able to do it much better than others, and the people who can't try to hard.
