With the BS going on with Holden, should I go for the Blue oval this year...? That's a tough choice... [biggrin]

I don't barrack for a particular brand, more for a driver, like I followed Allan Moffat in his day, later Peter Brock, now,....any number of drivers, but Jamie Whincup's record is pretty impressive, I think the driver pairing of himself with Craig Lowndes with the engineering expertise of 888/Red Bull will be a good combination.
If you google Supercars, you will be able to locate the program/timetable for the whole weekend at Bathurst. You can then decide what you want/have time to watch over the weekend. I would advise you to watch a few of the one hour practice sessions, maybe qualifying & the top ten shootout, which can be very interesting.

Well, Russell Ingall thinks the Nissan is a dark horse!

I always look forward to Bathurst going back to the late sixties Monaro days when the ch 7 telecast was supposed to be only interrupted for an hour by World of Sport with Ron Casey, Jack Dyer & co, but I remember on one occasion they waffled on for nearly 3 hrs,...but not now.
Not many fans on here I know, but I just love my Supercars,...who do I predict this year, well I reckon Whincup & Lowndes would be my pick at this stage,...I just think Red Bull may have a little bit more going for them over a long distance than Penske DJR?
And of course the big race is preceded for me, as usual, by my "Bathurst Big Breakfast", cooked by Wifey,..fried eggs, fried bread, sausages, fried potatoes, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms etc.....Only once a year though, otherwise I'd be 200+kilos I reckon!!
Can't wait, Pickles.

Ya got ya Foxtel fired up and checked all things are good? 07:30(ish) moro morning. Toyota 86's will be waking the campers first up tomorrow.
You watching in 4k(iQ4), or using Foxtel now?

I ditched my iQ4, but have Foxtel now, so just "hd" for me. But still, all good...[emoji6][emoji1783]

Yep same here - and last weekend I was scanning the TV guide and wondering why Bathurst was not being televised - I was a week early dammint[bighmmm]
I predict that Scotty will throw the mustang on Pole, but that's not always a benefit at Bathurst. I reckon the win will go to SVG and Tander. And for an unpredictable finish result one of the Nissans (it is Bathurst and sometimes is just making the most of others misfortune that will bring through the results).

I enjoyed the banter between Mark and Jess on their roadtrip to Bathurst.
Was a good little filler.
Shame about the chosen vehicle, but still, all good.
