Bathurst

True eh.

 

club member decided he'd bring his latest HSV to Darlington Park some years back, 3 laps , the end

 

that surprises me.

 

I did a few years in sprints with mine. No problems at all and actually the first year pretty much took it off the showroom floor put some R tyres on it, raced it, and one the championship in my class. Very reliable and very quick for what is a heavy car.

A few years ago, HSVs used to blow PS hoses on track, but HSV fixed that when enough people complained.

Haven't heard of any FPVs having issues at trackdays.

And the new FPV will be a weapon....http://theage.drive.com.au/motor-news/first-drive-fpv-gt-20101005-165rc.html

More power and less weight at the front end (due new all alloy quad cam V8).... would be fun to drive, I reckon.

 

sounds feral.

 

... in a good way.

 

what???

 

obviously not driving it hard enough

forget it.

 

I've upset a few people this week

http://fastmustard.wordpress.com/2010/10/05/bathurst-1000-zzzz/

 

While I agree with you and remember the prod racer Bathurst fondly, i just can't see the evo versus Subaru battle getting up the support.

 

I could upset more if I wrote an article in that vein

 

Not in that pub with those Maori boys mate....I like living!!

I see that there is nothing new in the Bathurst fred this year...same old same old...heres hoping for an entertaining, safe bit of Taxi racing

 

Spent last week painting walls inside my house, reminded me of watching bathurst.

Bring back the old days of group A, that would get me watching.

E30 M3 v Serria RS500 Cosworth, now that's racing!!

Today's version could be GTR v 997.5 GT3 RS, that would be worth wasting a day for.

 

Interesting.

 

WTF..................painting walls reminds you of Bathurst!!!!!!!!!!!!

So when Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel he was reminded of Monza or Imola!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

watching grass grow is another thing that reminds me of Bathurst

boring as batsh!t

obviously not !! he kept thinking "I better not fall off this ****ing ladder!!"

 

Well lets start off with just Ford versus Holden then, but production models.

Pete

 

Is it Ford V Holden ? I thought they had to use Chev blocks because the Holden ones weren't up to the task.

 

3 litre REPCO motors won the F1 WDC and WCC , don't see nay Chev motors listed as winners

 

I say bring back the Morris Cooper S for Bathurst

 

1. there hasn't been a Holden V8 since the 308 went out of production. They're all Chevs now.

2. The Fords use purpose built race blocks from the US too.

It's all a circus, a week copy of NASCAR. Only fools bogans - who are the advertiser's target market.
