Well done Bush, great lap. I hope with all the parity issues and emotions from it are void and we have a great race tomorrow. Wet weather at the mountain is never boring.

In the end they tried and think they bought up valid points. But it's also understandable that nothing has been done, with such short notice.

‘Politics over parity’: DJR responds to Bathurst protest dismissal

DJR on Saturday lodged a protest against Supercars, alleging it had broken its own rules on technical parity by failing

Just hope we don't have go thru all this again with Toyota next year. Its hardly a good look for the series to be three years into this generation of cars and to still be arguing about parity on certain tracks.

And also hopefully the rain sticks around for a long period time today. Enough to make the race interesting.

And here I was planning on stating up late tonight to watch the race, thanks for the heads-up that the V8's are as corrupt as the ACO.

I expect we will be going through this when the comprehensive testing isn't being done until half way through next season. So Toyota could have a jet for half the season (plus two-three more years to get it levelled out)... or not :indiff:

Edit: I was looking forward to this years Bathurst but now I'm to ****en angry to even watch... almost ;).

You know it just pains the commentary team that they can’t call this race “our grand final” now that Adelaide is the Grand Final.
 
Rain obviously could change things but as it stands. Its looking like a T8 1-2 and either the #38 or #99 3rd. Those four way ahead of the rest.

Yeah, once I knew Brown was making up spots just seems like it’s a two car race.

Both Skaife and Crompton just blatantly ignoring the closing speed of the Camaro's down Conrod into the chase is hilarious. Normally they would gush over how quick certain cars are in a straight line but today, crickets. Wonder why? 🤔 :sly:
 
I really rolled my eyes when Skaife said Randle needs to redress the bump n run after Crompton just finished saying we’ll leave that to the stewards. I was like yep, just where I left off watching the series. :lol:

Anyway, with Toyota’s money and Walkinshaw on top of the team, I’m hoping the Supra comes out swinging. As good as when Volvo joined? I don’t know, but I’m hoping Toyota isn’t having any of this mess.

Oh, dang. That’s Chaz. Oh well.
 
:eek:

Edit:

Heavy rain on the radar. Expected in 10 minutes. Not sure how these teams are reading the weather.

Okay, now I don't know what to think. The race has completely changed. Its wide open.

Rhianna should have left Brad Jones alone. :lol:

Edit: Ouch. Oh well.

Golding was looking good all race and he’s no slouch, but he’s gotta keep his cool.

Ugh. Really didn't want a safety car. 😅

There goes Woody's buffer.

I dunno, Golding is a hot head at times. Wood doesn’t have to really fight him too much.

Any of the top ten would be a great story. Crazy how many early front runners have binned it.
 
I don’t even care about brands. Everyone in the top 12 other than Reynaolds will possibly get their first 1000 win. Crazy.

Freakin sucks for Woody and the Juice. They were so good all day. Hope the Toyota's have better reliability.

Knew Golding eventually would make a desperate move. Game, set and match.

What a drive from Payne and Tander.
 
You couldn't have asked for much more. There was controversy, heartbreak, weather, skill, strategy, chaos, failure, battles, collisions, mistakes and beer.

Parity?

While it certainly was exiting to watch (edit: well, the second half was, the first half was just demoralising), it was a Bradbury win for Payne/Tander because even in the wet is was embarrassing how easily the Camaro's where overtaking the Ford's down Conrod.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Edit: Also, Warburton's statement that ''Long-term, Supercars now has the chance to mandate one-off altitude-related tweaks before the next visit to Bathurst'' is an absolute joke. Two ****en years DJR have been waiting for this barometric testing.

Ford has had to wait three years on everything/anything to be resolved in the Gen 3 era for parity. What happens if the Toyota happens to be a jet, a jet that isn't to be put through the stringent engine parity testing until at least mid season? Three more years of unfairness?

It's a ****en joke that rain cannot continue to hide!

GM/Supercars need to get with the program and switch from their boat anchor to the Corvette LT dual overhead cam engine (don't get me wrong, I love the old boat anchor LS engines, just not for this series in current form).
