It was a really good waste of a day.

I was very impressed with Dean Canto.....on each of his spells he brought the Merc to the front.

I think it can only get better now.

"Really good waste of a day",....Lol, gotta agree with that.
Yes, a great race, it will be interesting to see where it goes in the future.

I enjoyed all the social media stuff from other countries, stuff you'd never hear otherwise, straight from the horses mouths as it were--

I wonder how many tek heads we have in the "armchair" forum?

My uneducated reason for the numerous SC's?
When the GT3 cars "lose their way" , because of their superior aero, they are already way beyond the physical grip the car offers so they spear off in interesting ways,, That Bentley over Skyline was , er, interesting... but way quicker than the Taxis

and then theres the concrete,,,

oh!
and the big news of the day???
Bathurst is building another track

I watched the race on and off for most of the day... Murphy's law - I wasn't watching when the really good stuff was on..

Great win for the GTR... If I had the coin - hmmm.. I had a deposit down on an R33 years ago, but got cold feet when trying to insure the thing!

With the GTR have any of you looked at what it takes to run one?,yes it has the power,and it's not from Nissan just to let you all know,my BIL was going to buy one but the service requirements take stupidity to the extreme. Pat

Yes,..anyone can buy one, & if ya want a REALLy fast car, something that will blow away a Porsche Turbo etc, and for about a third of the price, they're ok.
But you're right, servicing/brakes etc, are ASTRONOMICAL, & having driven one, I wonder what it would be like on a long trip.
Not a practical machine at all, but fast?...YES.

It's a supercar. It's as impractical and expensive to own as all supercars are and I'm sure it's decidedly cheaper than many. What it can do on the road and the track is mind blowing. If I had silly money lying around I'd have one in a heartbeat. But like all supercars, the best way to experience them is in a situation where you can hand the keys back at the end of the day or week and let someone else worry about paying to keep it on the road.

I enjoyed a five year relationship with an R33 GT-R which doesn't remotely compare to an R35 btw but in it's day was right up there and was a daily driver without silly running costs. Everyday was a thrill and the R35 in my experience is in an altogether different league.

The GT-Rs are very special cars. It's a shame that the ricer brigade covet them and to a degree tarnish others perceptions of them.
