Taped and watched it.

Changed days. Probably the first Bathurst I have seen since the V8Supercars started. I was hard pushed to tell who was who and what was a Holden and what was a Ford.

But, darn exciting at the end. Seven safety cars though :shock: And amazing how it can all change around.

Congrats to Craig and the 888 team. He's had some stick since going to Ford, but he has done well the past two years for them.

All the best

hi sandy its always on motors tv channel 413
V8 supercars =probably the best mostsport ive watched for the last few years
DTM =top drivers- sometimes good but quite often a bit boring
BTCC =somtimes good, normally very entertaining but driving standards often leave a lot to be desired & the drivers are always bitching each other

888 teams luck ran out this weekend at 'surfers paradise' 2 front running cars, lownes black flaged in 2nd race for minor bodywork loose & wincup outbraked himself whilst leading the 3rd race, then got turned around later after he rejoined.

If you ever get a chance, watch some of the older ones from the seventies with the big Falcons and little Toranas (Formula Torana), or the eighties with the early Commodores, big Falcons, medium sized Mustangs, small Sierra Cosworths, then watch them get crushed by the behemoth that was the Nissan Skyline GT-R.

Special mention to Tom Walkinshaw for 1985 where he killed the mountian in a couple (three to start with) of Jaguar XJS's. I will never look at or hear a V12 XJS the same again. Talk about SNARL. Brilliant.
