    BATHURST 2015

    The great race is going to run in the reverse direction in 2015 in a move to make better use of the pits and safer rejoins. Not to sure of what to make of that one i am all for safety for the drivers but some things in life you don't mess with. On the one hand it would make for some very different car set ups as it is a completely different ball game going up conrod and especially going up over skyline. Not to sure if the cars will reach the same top speed they used to but at least it's a completely level playing field for all the teams as previous setup's will count for nothing. What do you guys think?

    Got to be a joke :-)

    It would cost millions to reconfigure to track to run in reverse direction, all of the safety barriers would have to be adjusted for a start. You would need a "chase" at the bottom of mountain straight also.

    Well now that the V8's will mostly be on foxtel, and I will have missed half of the action, who gives a toss! They could all go flying off the top of Skyline for all I care. They can all get stuffed now!

    Rant over. (for now)

    Albeit not a big fan, I have to agree they are leaving their most loyal fan base(Ford/Holden bogans

    Not everyone can afford or want Foxtel.

    They have been talking to Motorcycle Australia with the hope of holding a race over the 5 day event i think it would be the first time in about 15 years that the bikes have raced there
