Couldn't be happier back to back win for FPR. The win should have gone to Frosty. If Lowndes hadn't used dirty tactics and taken out Frosty he would have won I reckon or at least a Ford 1-2 finish.

A race that had everything.
Let's face it some dirt bikes were never meant to be ridden.

When you run wide and off the race line, what else would you expect.
You have too feel for a lot Drivers and teams as some of them just had plain bad luck ... but that's Bathurst for you.
What's with the half time lunch break  :o.... reckon Gary rogers had it summed up pretty well with his comments  ;D

You have to feel for Whincupp. Took the car from last to first at the start. Then took it back to first only to be told " Stop racing "  He is paid to race as fast as he can. Which he did. His dumbarse crew are paid to get the car to the finish as fast as they can. Which they didn't. He should be furious.

Feel for Wincup... you got to be kidding. Smashed the wall in qualifying and had to start last..driver fault.
Had 2 infringements through the race..driver fault.... They short fuelled him to keep him on the lead lap and you blame the team that he didn't win...
On the other hand Frosty should have won... Loundes came through like a train. Was penalised which doesn't do much to compensate Frost being put back 8 places.

GO Ford.....

Not sure about Wincup.

Does he get a pat on the back for racing at 10/10th for the win until the car wouldn't go anymore and getting 5th or a foot in the arse for running out fuel when he was warned many times including being told when he had a lap and a half to go but only enough fuel for 1 lap. He ignored those warnings and disregarded of a safe second and the Championship points that go with it.

what dumbrell stalled it on the refuels! whincup needs a big boot up the arse for loosing second place, he could have backed off easily with 4 laps to go and covered the racing line in the tight bits and kept the boot in it on the straight. instead he goes flat out and runs out on the last bit and missed all three steps of the podium.

I reckon frostys foot slipped of the go pedal when lowndes hit him as he was so slow compared to the rest.... sommut went wrong

Sure they short fuelled him to keep him on lead lap. They fill them cars at 4.5 ltrs a second. At full race pace them cars burn 4.5 ltrs per lap. He slowed with half a lap to go. Approx two litres of fuel was needed to continue at race pace.

Ask yourself if putting in another 2 litres , approx half a second , would have stopped him entering the race on the lead lap. Very bad calculation from the team. His job is to race to the finish. Their job is to give him something to race to the finish.

Whincup needs to find the nearest toilet and put his head in it.

I used to be a fan when he was a FORD driver but since defecting to the opposition he's turned into a real arrogant prick. Got no time for him or Rick Kelly (another prick)

With Ambrose back racing for DJR in 2015 I can see another FORD victory this time next year.
