Excited like a child on Christmas Eve because I've booked a ticket (and flights etc) for the Bathurst 1000

Jealous. Make sure to take plenty of pictures mate. 👍

Buncombe testing as well. Looks good.

I always find it funny that they take international drivers like Alex Buncombe, who's driven on legendary circuits like Le Mans, Spa and Nurburgring, to little 'ol Winton way out in country Victoria.

Man, that is another great looking livery. Love the colours.

When the mini-mount panorama circuit is built, might be another test track to test at.

Buncombe testing as well.

And here's the video. Must say again, I'm really digging this carsales livery a lot.

 

[NW48]

It does look quite nice. The mix of blue, white and black is really, really nice. Not too much of one thing. 👍

 

[05XR8]

Going to look awesome on XBONE on the 15th!

Holden and Disney join forces.

Might we see some Star Wars themed liveries in the future?

I doubt it, something more like fairies again...

 

[05XR8]

Fitting. They are like the evil Empire.

Like the last RB/Star Wars livery we saw in racing History

 

[05XR8]

I guess it'll be on Lowndes' car come Phillip Island.

 

[NW48]

Jack Perkins and James Phelps are on the panel tonight. There will be an interview from the HRT garage with Russell Ingall about replacing Courtney at Sandown and his expectations amongst other things.

We already have:

Jonathan Webb's Falcon from Phillip Island a few years ago. It looked good standing still, but was impossible to make out at speed.

A bit of "The Future's" happiness about "Frenchie".

New livery for Holdsworth for Sandown.

 

[05XR8]

It does look like the 2014 EMV8 Bathurst livery..

I'm hyped more now, than ever with this year's 1000. I like how Aaren mentions the little details of servicing the COTF.

"But it was more the mechanical side of things, and just seeing what more the ‘Car of the Future’ entails, even with small stuff – like when the car’s up in the air after it comes in, how to put the fans on it, spin the wheels – all the little stuff like that we need to do right.”

Yeah I get that vibe from it too. Works well, though I much prefer the regular blue/silver scheme the #18 has been running this year.

That or all black with those yellow hi-lites or yellow w/black.

Courtney hopes for Bathurst lower as scans reveal two more fractured ribs.

 

[Spacegoat]

Terrible news. Fingers crossed he can recover in time. It's not looking good though.

 

[NW48]

2016 V8SC Calendar Announced.

 

[05XR8]

This is much different to when Lowndes had craxked ribs end of last year. Courtney needs to sit out until PI or Homebush.

 

[NW48]

V8SC and the WA Government have come to an agreement to keep Barbagallo on the calendar for an extra three years as revealed on Inside Supercars.

 

[05XR8]

More tyres and more of the soft tyre for next year.

I wonder where the 9 other Aisian tracks are that have approached V8SC.

 

[NW48]

I wonder where the 9 other Aisian tracks are that have approached V8SC.

I think three Asian tracks would suffice. Anymore and it'll start to take away from some of the tracks here in Australia.

As for what tracks it could be, Shanghai and possibly Bahrain come to mind, but since they've been there already with little success, it'd be a long shot.
