Poor braad :(

The warm up is at 7:15am, but the race doesn't begin until 10am, so you'll have plenty of time to catch up on your beauty sleep :p

Just stick with whatever predictions Cape makes, they'll probably be right! :D Though I think Paul Weel/Murphy are real dark horses.

It is also nice to see Tony Longhurst going around the Mountain. Did my eyes deceive me or is Alex Tagliani in this years race? Plus why have some teams decided to enter three drivers? Is there a limit to the amount of drivers in a team?

*Waits paitently for Cape/braad to respond.* :p

ill respond to ya...alex tagliani is in this year race with WPS, WPS also part own the champ car team, so they got him to drive for them in the enduros.

im not too sure about the 3 drivers, when i saw that it was intresting too..maybe they havent decided which 2 will race yet or they are racing 3 drivers, i didnt know they could.

lol, no i dont think there's a limit on how many, but there IS a limit on the maximum amount of time one driver can spend in the car (so no more single handed heroics like the 60s/70s :p)

so, no i dont think there is a limit if you have 2, 3, or even 4. Some teams have 3 some eyars (not sure this year) to get young drivers experience

it's longhursts last race i believe :( he's been such a trooper...though he will be around next year (team owner or manager)

weel/murphy are darkhorses...and at sandown showed some damned impressive speed, it was a shame their car expired, but hey, better there than bathurst i reckon

Murphy's never a darkhorse when it comes to Bathurst...he always produces the goods at the Bathurst enduro...I'm hoping for #2 to finish first :)

And since when are my predictions ever right :rolleyes:

Murph only ever goes well at two tracks - Bathurst and New Zealand.

OMFG! What is that red paint upon the FPR cat car? grr, and that used to be my fav car, I thought FPR were kind and named a car after me :D

The BA Falcon is strong at Bathurst, but Ford are normally out of luck. Like, last year, I think the first Commodore was followed by 7 Falcons. Imagine if Murph had crashed!

I think the Murph/Weel is a very strong combo, although I'd love to see Lowndes take it out.

Teams are allowed to cross enter drivers. For example, I know the Betta Electrical Team for Sandown cross entered Lowndes, Ellery, Muller and Macrow. However, final driving pairings must be made between practice and qualifying tomorrow.

Braad :p shh ... Michael was just on tv, playing soccer :) Plus, the red paint spoilt the car.

The weekend started yesterday :p The television telecast marathon has started :D

Lowndes looks like he has a cold, his voice sounded funny, not his usual very chirpy voice, hope he gets better soon.

lol, its already raining at Bathurst. Way to break a drought, just send the V8s in that direction :)

The only way to stop Holdens around Bathurst is to whack a Kangaroo in front of them. That was mean :(

Why is the falcon a pretender? 8 minutes til qualifying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
