Yeah
. It's just as bad(or sad?) as the #18.

Believe it or not, it does snow here. It’s more like dustings in Virginia than Michigan though. It did accumulate lots last winter, but that’s rare. Also rare to snow at Bathurst in middle of Spring. https://www.speedcafe.com/2010/10/18/bathurst-white-out/A question from an ignorant idiot from the Northern Hemisphere: unfortunately my geography knowledge about Australia is extremely limited (as in I know where the continent is more or less) and supposedly when we have winter, you guys have summer and vica versa. I only ever lived in areas with 4 seasons (Hungary, Germany, Northeast US), so for me winter means at least some snow but cold temperatures for sure (like below zero Celsius), even though I'm aware that even in my new(ish) country that's not obvious. Also, my Southern Hemisphere experience is limited to a few weeks spent in the Johannesburg area in South Africa in June/July 2005 (it's a bit heartbreaking to think about the fact that it's been almost 18 years now...)
Anyway, it's hard not to notice that the Supercars calendar would fit our side of the planet perfectly which would mean that a lot of it runs in your wintertime. Should I take it that you don't really have snow and stuff around those locations (or maybe in general)? Again, I'm sorry for such a stupid question.
Yeah, I would have preferred them to wait too. At least it seems like teams are getting close to finishing their builds. Just a shame that they don't have more opportunities to test the cars, before the season starts.Should have waited a little longer. I know the suspension isn’t set, but as it is, with those graphics, the side looks very thick.
No snow to worry about, there are regions of Australia that do get snow fall during winter but it’s mostly limited to the relatively small alpine regions. That said, some of the events can be a bit cold and miserable but Supercars tends to head to the tropical regions in the north (closer to the equator) during the height of winter where the temperature is considerably milder.
Thanks guys for the clarification! That map is particularly brilliantBelieve it or not, it does snow here. It’s more like dustings in Virginia than Michigan though.

The Most Southern states of Tasmania and Victoria get cold. Again, similar to where you are and the Tri-State area. However, the races start heading north, to warmer climate, in winter.
I’m in New South Wales(Where Sydney is on the map below). About 600+ miles north of Victoria. In winter, it’ll drop to about 40C at night and early morning, but the sun cracks the horizon and it warms up. The weather is more like Southern states.

That's the thing, I think Brad is staying just inside the line where he can be punished as he's not outright saying anything is bad, he's only pointing out oddities.Ie watched a couple and did wonder about the fuel tank and the latest steering design. Weird indeed. pointing out the difficulty of access, figured Supercars would stop the videos.
So much better than the travesty that was the previous Mustang.
I’d say so cause Ford are set to have a GT3 Mustang at some point in the near future. Or GM could bring the new GT3 Corvette to, so i could definitely see this happening.Wonder if they’d do a GT4/GT3/Supercars speed comparison at Bathurst.
