Must be confidence inspiring, especially with the track still to grip up a lot over the meeting and his inside tyres being old.

Is Gunna be interesting when the weather turns.......

which, historically it does

The forecast here is indicating (at this second, because it always changes) that the chances of showers will be late and Friday and late on Saturday and the rain will be minimal.

Maybe just enough to stick a few cars into the gravel and the walls before the days are over.

Sunday should be dry and its not hot for any of the days.

Agree 100%, and the racing is so close, no-one wins by 6 laps these days!!
And no-one would get away with doing just 6 laps in practice as PB did in his days of "Sheppo Prepared" HDT "unbeatability". Loved those days too, watched ém 100% just like I watch Supercars.
These cars are just so "tuneable", I just love the way the cars are adjusted, adjusted, adjusted,....hopefully to get an optimum setting on race day, and this is all before the race even starts!
Anyway, all is good on this Sunday Morning, radar is clear over Bathurst, I've just finished my Bathurst Breakfast, fried eggs, sausages, bacon, tomatoes etc. 3 hrs until the start.
Who will win?.....wouldn't have a clue, my tip/guess would be a Red Bull car. WAU have had a pretty average year, they're definitely not quite on quali pace, but race pace is ok, so if they just "motor on", they could be there at the end. But of course the truth is that at this stage, no-one knows! Enjoy.

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...

Bring it on!

Just ordinary Foxtel via Telstra for me had it for a few years, would it be IQ2?
Haven't got a full package, basically Sport (for Supercars,..which is why I got it in the first place) & a few movie etc channels.

Djr will win the drag to the first corner and that's the race folks!

Is there a way to listen on mobile phone?
