2011 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000

[SVX]

Aha, thanks.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I really hope Whincup can catch Tander.

 

[Sharky.]

van Gisbergen Keep it on the track, jeez.

 

[SVX]

Yeah, whatta shame.

 

[Spacegoat]

Problem for Whincup.

Alternator's playing up.

 

[Müle]

Speed's saying it's possibly an Alternator.

Safety car.

 

[Sharky.]

No juice in the battery so he's basically just rolling down the hill, yet because it's under yellow nobody's allowed to pass

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Ah what a shame for Whincup but this should close the championship fight up between him and Lowndes!

 

[Spacegoat]

Fingers crossed Tander can bring it home.

 

[Antonisbob]

#88 was really having troubles there hey?

 

[SVX]

Common Murphy! You can do it!

 

[Sharky.]

Who needs rain when you have one of the Kelly cars dropping oil everywhere

 

[Spacegoat]

^

Rick Kelly is dropping oil all over the place.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Jeez, the track is covered in oil.

 

[Spacegoat]

This is shaping up to be a fantastic finish.

Edit: ^

[Andrew C]

Anyone notice how they placed Mark Webber's picture on a few people when they showed the starting grid on Speed?

 

[Spacegoat]

Come on, Tander please stay on the track.

 

[Small_Fryz]

On behalf of Australia, I apologise to America: I'm sorry you had to see the best driver in the country lose to the biggest tosser in Australian motorsport.

 

[Spacegoat]

Tander/Percat wins.

Yes!

Edit: Great to see Murphy on the podium.

Credit to Percat, his rookie co-driver though.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Fantastic finish there! Congratulations to Tander and Percat but an excellent effort by the Lowndes/Skaife team. Great to see Murphy and Simonsen to finish on the podium too. 👍

 

[Müle]

was able to quickly find a stream and see the last corner.

Absolutly stupid, though. I'll definitely be writing to both Speed and TSN for this ********. All because TSN has exclusive rights to F1 races in Canada, they think they can cut off the feed even though Speed is tape delaying the start of the F1 race.

Stupid stupid stupid.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Credit to Percat, his rookie co-driver though.

Oh, absolutely. Tander is just a pain. No doubt he'll tell everyone he had the whole thing under control when he clearly didn't.

 

[CodeRedR51]

That was intense. Was pulling for Tander/Percat car and I'm a fan of drivers that beat teams that win all the time. Only when I don't have a specific favorite driver though, which in this series is the case.

Pretty much this, although I'd say Rick Kelly takes the "biggest tit" crown. GT's definitely up there though. I wanted to see van Gisbergen or Murphy win, but between Lowndes and Tander I would cheer for Lowndes every single time - in this case I was hoping they'd take each other out on the final lap for a Murph victory, mind.

Fantastic final few laps, how better to demonstrate to Americans why this series is so good than with a three-lap shootout between two of the best* drivers in the field? Overall the race had it all - thrills, spills, rain, oil and of course FIRE, couldn't ask for more.

Bring on Surfers!


*Now that I've complimented Garth Tander I'm going to go chug some bleach, brb
