Super Cheap Auto 1000 - Bathurst (5 Viewers)

[shortygb]

the big race is on this weekend, who do you think will be king/s of the mountain this year?

as mt panorama has always been more of a holden track so im going to go with another holden team taking it out. Skaife and Kelly has got a good pairing going on so they are my favorites, Murphy/Weel and Kelly/Tander could take it out too.

if any ford was to upstage a holden my bet would go with Bowe/Jones (they are always a strong pairing at bathurst) or Lowdnes/Youlden (they showed at sandown that they are a good pairing)

 

[Cape]

Lowndes and Muller will win Bathurst.

I've got a good feeling for ford this weekend. Although, I'd really like to see Seto win, but that just won't happen

The advantage Skaife and Kelly have is that they are regular drivers. But Muller was an absolute legend during the Sandown 500.

Its going to be a very long weekend

btw, Youlden is racing with Ambrose I think.

it thought Youlden was with Ingall and Ambrose with Luff.

Yes, thats right. Either way, I don't want a SBR car to be first, i'll be very happy if they don't even make it on the podium. Ambrose has had a shocker of a record at Bathurst, and his car is definately not the fastest out there.

 

[Meads]

Skaife/Kelly will be out to make amends for last year. I wish I was going again this year, last year was my first, and it was the most awesome weekend. We camped, next year the lads have got to do a road trip. I highly reccommend it.

 

[Bookie]

Go team. i have NFI with supercars.

I'll go with Bargwanna, he has a cool name.

 

[braad]

if it's wet, then lowndes and muller...no doubt

and bowe/jones always have mad car-speed (as long as the 50cent parts stay together)

ingall/*insert name* could be a threat, ingall has had some pretty cracking pace this year

as per, HRT - esp. with 2 full-time drivers, it's now a question of their car

i'd also watch dodo racing, DJR (westpoint)

 

[Cape]

if it's wet, then lowndes and muller...no doubt

Even without rain, that 888 car is generally fast, if not faster than the SBR cars. Even last year Lowndes had a shit car and made 3 or 4 extra pit stops than everyone else, and he still ended up second! Lowndes would definately be favourite to win

Does anyone know the practice times from today?

 

[braad]

yep

WOOO!! Go Lowdnes!!

i hope he can keep up the pace all weekend...

 

[shortygb]

looks like John Cleland and V8 supercars dont mix, i saw him crashing the BJR car, again...who could forget when he rolled it after hitting Platos limping HRT car in the chase last year, lucky this year it isnt too bad, they should get it fixed for qualifying and the race.

Maybe the V8's have to much power for him, he should stick to the 4 cylinder racers in the BTCC.

 

[rightie]

as long as a holden car can keep reigning the almighty mountain then that will keep me very *VERY* happy!

cleland is a bit of a weird one...good racer/driver, but some stupid crap has happened (i.e. last year into plato/brocks limping car)


anyone see what happened with the morris/radisich car at the top???

[Cape]

I saw the cleland car crash when I was flicking stations this arvo. It wasn't THAT badly damaged, just the front of it is really damaged.

Oooooh, I can't wait to watch qualifying tomorrow Skipping uni just to watch Bathurst!

Thankies Braad <3 I would have looked at the times myself, but my computer doesn't like me and won't load the times

heres news on the radisich car, it was damaged but nothing major, it was reparied enough to do some laps at the end of the session.
