Duncan Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 well to be fair, they did deliver a hilarious moment when cars made it down pit lane quciker than the safety car drove down the main straight.....meaning all the cars leaving the pits overtook the cars on the track....and they had to slow down to let the safety car ahead.

Duncan Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 did you honestly find it interesting? other than lowdnes having a brain explosion, I can't think of much to mention. Last lap was close too I guess. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/353776-2011-v8-supercar-thread/#findComment-5668624 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJRIFT Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 they are the leading form of motor sport in australia. you guys should give them a brake. lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/353776-2011-v8-supercar-thread/#findComment-5668820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nee-san Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 From a spectator standpoint its a very bad track, if you also considering money spent for how entertaining it is, it is the worst track ever conceived. Yes I think there is definitely a bit of Bernie worship going on in V8SC. I'm not even going to go into what is wrong with racing these days, I seriously just don't have the time.

zebra Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Looks like a brilliant track to race on though, would you rather drive on that or QR? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/353776-2011-v8-supercar-thread/#findComment-5668968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nee-san Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 But as I said, Ecnomically. QR probably cost a a packet of chips $2.0 and a handjob to build.

Beer Baron Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 it was replayed on speedHD (and non hd) with all the safety car periods shortened etc. I recorded both races on fox and watched race 2 last night. it was not bad I thought? good battle between bright and courteny. I was glad to see courteny win the championship last year but it would have been cool to see bright get past him (and stay there) for the win. he drove a great race and certainly deserved a victory for it. I bumped into bright outside my office last year where he was doing promo work ahead of the homebush race and he's a good bloke. No win for 5 years is a bit of a dry patch and having BJR winless it would have been a big deal to those guys. I'll bet they'll be checking the size of courtenys fuel tank and surge tank after he somehow managed to run about 4 laps more on the same amount of fuel than anybody else.....

Beer Baron Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 BTW what did lowndes do to ingall? all I saw was the two of them off track with ingalls car busted and lowndes with front damage (that was apparently repaired to get him back out but he then copped a penalty). I didn't see the replays as they must have been replaying it during the safety car which gets cut down a bit from the speed coverage.

FLN75S Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Lowndes missed his braking marker from what i heard then locked it up and took Ingall with him.

djr81 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Top points for Holdsworth & Davison punching on in the pits after the race. But how come Whincup gets away with punting Bargs when Courtney doesn't?

djr81 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Wasnt Longhurst vs Morris quality. "There was a bit of push and shove," Holdsworth said "I went up and asked for an apology because he took me out, but he wouldn't give me one. I told him what I thought of him and he pushed me and it got a bit ugly. Which I guess means it looked like two girls going at it with handbags.
