1992 Bathurst Godzilla

[88silhouette]

Bought a video of the 1992 Bathurst Race off ebay, and got it in the mail today. I Just finished watching it (2 Hours of highlights). What a race! The 2 Winfield GTR's and the GIO GTR hammered along the track along with the Sierras! Poor old Falcons and Commodores got well left behind. That race is truly the best I've seen yet, especially when you see the rain bucketing down and the GTR driving on through it unharmed while the rear wheel drive Commo's lose it in the wet. Probably the best part is the ending when the storm comes through. Jim Richards hits the wall in his No. 1 Winfield Gibson GTR, and ends up in a pile up with a Sierra, a Commo and a Corolla. You can even get a glimpse of an HR31 Skyline GTS-R hooning past! Skaife and Richards definitely deserved being awarded 1st after the race was called off prematurely because of the torrential rain. Shame the V8 fans didnt like it, but as Richards said, "You're a pack of arseholes"

cheers, MARK

I have 90, 91 & 92 in DivX form and they're very entertaining.

When I saw the Dick Johnson cossie almost overtaking Mark Skaife on the straight I was like :eek: OMG!!!!

Very cool race :uh-huh:

DivX??? Hey Ronin, where'd u find that??? cos i'm pretty new to Skylines, and all the models, i didn't even realise that they had the GTR's running all those years back...

anyways, Ronin, if you would be so kind to point me in the direction where these DivX's are at, i would really appreciate it. I got cable, so it shouldn't be too bad.

get in contact with my via ICQ: 46693635 and I'll be happy to send them to you

I'll be on ICQ tonight but make sure that when you request authorisation you tell me who you are cause I automatically ignore the standard message one's (too much spam man sorry)

4WD's, turbo's and Rotaries, all too competitve to the V8's so they are now banned from racing.

As much as I enjoy watching bathurst I think a two make racing series is a bit boring.... I'd like to see other manufacurers in the race, doesn't mean they have to allow turbos etc back they can still all run V8's but allow other body shells and manufacturers to enter...

[Tosh]

I heard rumours that Toyota wanted to enter the V8 Supercar series with an Avalon but don't know what happened to that

would be good to see other manufacturers in there

There have been rumours of both Mitsubishi and Toyota looking at running is supercars, but I don't see them making the sort of investment you need to catch up with Holden. Would be interesting if Ford pulled out due to lack of results though.

The Future Tourer series run common v8s in pretty much any bodyshell - the v8 magna is doing well, there are also commodores and falcons running around. I think BMW were also considering this one.

this sort of thing really $HIT$ me. bl##dy stupid V8 fans and the like being put in there place by a jap car. so what do they do?? ban them from the race and stop them from competing. if they were allowed to compete imagine what would have happened. Batherst would have been dominated by the GTRs decimating the dunnydores and Falcons. Every one would see that V8s are dinosours and that forced induction is the future. people start buying these amazing totaly revolutionaty performence cars.

Suddenly nissan australia sees what everyone else has seen on this fourm, and its like they were born again! the CEO cancels all the shippments of pulsars and patrols and orders a million GTRs!!!

they all sell in the frist day of there relese, so he orders another million then another million until 8/10 cars in australia is a GTR.

aahhhh *cough* excuse me i started day dreaming again. back to the topic - V8s SUCK:D
