Biggest motor sport event of the year for this part of the world. 6 hour endurance race. The only reason I will move from the TV is to go to the bathroom. Just think 650 hp Taxi's. Holden = Chevrolet on this side of the world. So it's Ford vs Chev!!!!

I love Ozzie v8's whish we had more coverage and Bathurst is by far one of the cooliest tracks on the planet.

Dave

Some good looking pit crews with their two pieces on. :devil: rr

Check out Utube in a few days there should be some coverage by them. Qualifying is on there already.
Yes Bathurst is a real drivers track. Hoping to see 300kph on the back straight this year maybe??? 298kph(186mph) was the fastest speed last year. Yee Haaa!!!!!

Hahaha wouldn't be Bathurst without all the Hot girls and Rock bands!!!

REALLY stupid question...

how do you pronounce Bathurst? i've been admiring DownUnda muscle cars for years and I never heard that word out loud...

is it bat-hurst or bath-erst? or something else? you can all laugh at me now if you want...

--rick

Baath-hurst!!!! Not a stupid question. American English is more correct to the way words are spelt.

Spelt. Hey I can speak Austrailian. :) rr

Hahaha, Gidday digger!!! Bugger off down the pub for a schooner and a barbie!!

Try this one then! The driver slows down just as he gets onto Conrod straight because the 2 cars behind him crash.

Dave

I've done plenty of laps on the Xbox!!!! Did you know these are public roads for the rest of the year??

SPEED stopped showing the Aussie V8 Supercars after 2007 unfortunately (so they could have more time for 'reality' shows like Stinks and Drag Race High :rolleyes:).

Bathhurst used to be clipped to two hours. I burned a couple seasons of coverage to DVD before SPEED dropped it. Sometimes I replay the races on my track video screens while we are racing.

Very cool doba! Plenty of Utube stuff!!

Cmon Davo tell the guys that Holden=Chev have 7 out of the top ten places on the starting grid, Ford have the other 3 Cmon the Chevs,will be sitting on my butt all day watching the GREAT RACE

Dudes!!!!! There you are! 2 more Kiwi's!!! Look out guys here we come. Dirty old Holdens will fall apart. Go the Fords!!!!

Yeah I am with you on that slotcarman...this is racing! Had our almost 6 year old son sitting on my lap and banking the turns for him while he has his arms out like he is driving.....thanks for posting these awesum videos. This day just keeps getting better and better.

I have the race on DVD of that track blocking wreck from Bathurst 2005. :thumbsup:

Well, I will say this much. It is blatantly apparent that the majority of US race viewers have never seen this V8 supercar stuff, because if they did, NASCAR would pretty much be dead, done and over!!! You guys down under got it made!! This is 100 X more exciting than NASCAR's follow the leader.. yawn.. boredom, and sort of reminds me of the restrictor plate-less racing of the 60's, but with grades and a mix of turns. If I could tune it in, I would watch this for sure!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
