Bathurst 1000

[ynot slow]

The first hour and last can be fun,throw in a weather surprise and it makes it fun.

I like the 2 brands,sure was fun with twin turbo Sierra,Nissans etc,they had the blow factor,and added interest,but if only the 2 big car makers in Aussie want to spend money and nissan and toyota can't organise a v8 to run within parameters no one can moan about it.

Fair enough if you like the current set up but don't forget who outlawed turbos and four wheel drive and rotary's because they could'nt compete.. blah blah blah and all that, enjoy the race dude.

Avesco came up with the idea unfortunately.Probably the typical Aussie attitude with cars,cubic inch rules.I liked it back in the late 70 early 80 when was wide tyres,grunty V8(at time).Also I think the idea of ford v holden worked for most people in the changeover period,and sure the 2 v8 companies didn't like getting beaten by jappas,neither did die hard aussie fans truth known.Watching the support "gt" class of porches,sierra,ferrari,vipers for 3 hour race was boring imho,the supercars were so much faster,and exciting.

It's not really a major race track. In fact a lot of it is actually on public roads. Noticed the driveways leading onto the track from the houses?

[alley cat]

very clean race so far, despite the changing weather. Got a tenner on tander/davidson. so far so good.
