As a massive petrol head from way back, Im really looking forward to Sundays race.
Anyone else into it?
Im backing Craig Lowndes for the win with Warren Luff as co driver ![]()
I'm going windsurfing this weekend so will miss it.
To me the supercar concept is a bit boring. Two cars that look similar to each other and don't really relate to what people drive. I guess its trying to be similar to NASCAR.
I think touring car racing was better back 20, 30 or 40 years ago when the cars racing were based on production cars and there was a wide variety of cars racing. I remember watching races in the 80s with I think Trans Ams, Jaguars and other crazy fast cars along with the Falcon and Commodore.
Nothing wrong with the super cars I'm with you doggie Craig lowndes all the way. Barracked for him even when he was with ford. Damn good driver.
Yeah Doggie I'm there with ya champ, good close bump and grind racing, 1000kms it does not matter weather all the cars are the same or different, they sound great, go like snot and this thread belongs in here as the forum is a General Forum!
Having said all that I'm off to a little country town called Tooday (Pronounced Toodjay) about an hour East of Perth to celebrate my grandfathers life for soldiers lost at war, whose loss of life has allowed us to enjoy car racing, windsurfing or kiting.
Yes, he alone saved the world! ![]()
Lowndsie all the way mate!![]()
Cheers GT
I love pretty much all motor racing. Being the retard I am I forgot to book work off on Sunday...![]()
Watching the v8s, even at Barbagello, is a very good day out!
I'm not a motorhead, but the idea that the cars are basically the same means to me that race is more about the driver's skill. I'd rather watch a bunch of drivers on the same playing field than if one car had an obvious power advantage over another.![]()
On the other hand, if I was interested in cars, I'd probably want to see which car is the fastest?!
I'll probably miss the whole thing & go fishing or for a sup...but - Go Lowndsy!![]()
Yeah me either, basically like a double stringer, seperated with a foam insert between the two stringers. this one is 9mm Cedar and 8mm foam
more stuff on them here.

Go frosty - and the blue ovals !! Best thing about Bathurst is it signals the true start of beach weather in Sydney (usually!) and you can watch the start of the race - go surfing or kitesurfing if the wind is up - and then watch the end of the race with the highlights - with a beer in one hand ! Not a bad day out on the water and grabed the best bits of Bathurst!!
It was good seeing old school cars from the beginning, the lack of safety and all that!
A bit of rain always makes it exciting.
Tooyijay?
Toodiyay?
Toodgie?
Ahh I give up!![]()
Even better when you are there. Bathurst can only be appreciated when you have driven around it, even at 60k's skyline is a buzz.
I just love the increased amount of d1ckhead5 on the road that have worked themselves into a froth from watching it and go out revving their motors, 'specially the "2 litre milk bottle crowd"(They make me laugh) and spinning their wheels thinking their Craig lowndes.
Just hope their not full of Bathurst bevan juice (VB) when their doing it.
dont forget the middle age bogans in there 5lt casks of wine, then there even more pissed when the 2lt milk bottle blows the cask of wine away & there left thinking how good there pushrod P.O.S realy isnt.
