FORD WINS BATHURST !

[Sorelegs11]

Did they find Vangigsbergan hanging in a tree anywhere?
Thats what you call bad luck and driver ERROR!

It was great to see and hear young Mosterts victory speach without all the thanking of sponsers and name dropping just the YEEHA etc.
I fear we will not see this again as he will undoubtedly be put through a coaching clinic for victory speaches.

Whincup started 3rd last (not last), Mostert started last.  Great drive for Whincup from the back and to be leading after making the mistakes he made was fantastic.  He should have listened to the radio and slowed down.  The team was right and he ran out with half a lap to go.

Lowndes was very unlucky and didn't punt Winterbottom off on purpose.  Mostert won despite having Morris as a co-driver.

There were a lot of drivers that were unlucky and some that made stupid mistakes.  Steve Johnson is a candid for that, leading the race and he puts it into the wall.

It will be interesting to have Ambrose back, but how long will Penske/DJR stay with FORD.

Yes FORD won but they only have to win ten more to equal Holden.

Datsun ?

Arrr now for Motorcycles back to Batharse at Easter.................

37 Litres per 100K .... no wonder they run out of the sugar syrup stuff they call fuel

  spot on !

It was reported in the telecast that the 17 spin was caused by a transaxle failure and not driver error.



Great result for a young Moffat too after what their car went through during the race.

I can't be bothered supporting a car manufacturer anymore as they're all basically the same with slightly different engines, I prefer to support certain drivers and have a healthy disdain for certain others 

I think the safety car was nearly classified as a finisher yesterday, it got a bit much

If you had a look at the one that was upside down on turn two the only thing that resembles a Holden or Ford is the outside skin of the body.  Like a slot car!!

Since inception the V8's have been pretty much same same under the body work.It got away from complex parity formula's the old Group A/C cars had where there was just constant bitching and lobbying until a manufacturer got their own way. Plenty of teams had starter motor drama's but you had to feel for Van Gisbergen, they had it shot to bits at that point. Lowndes was unlucky but the rules are clear if you turn someone around you get the drive through.
Lap times down and corner speeds up around 10kmph for most corners, you could hear the tyre chatter and understeer on the telecast.

Good to see Lowndes come out and publicaly apologise to Frosty for the incident.
It was great to see Stevey Johnson leading the race, even for a short time. Dam shame he came unstuck due to a driveline lockup. That one was out of his control unfortunately. DJR could do with some luck.
As for the future I no doubt suspect Ford will perhaps convert to the Mustang at some point and Holden??? perhaps a Camaro. It's great to see variety in the pack but without a Holden/Ford component to the mix the V8 supercar will die and so will the numbers of supporters.

Something Winterbottom would never do...

Like most stuff on TV, or in the media for that matter, we were just tagged along for the ride.
Stand back and take a hard look, if Holden wins "again", Ford runs off and hides-takes their ball and goes home.
Great to see Volvo and even Nissan having a good go. Not too sure about Mercedes, pretty sure they could do better if they wanted to.
So don't try to tell me Holden's No1 man couldn't or didn't hear his radio calls, that'd be absolute crap!! For all of the reasons mentioned above.

And the Dodge Challenger  :-)

Last Camaro I saw at Bathurst was on it's roof.
