Thread: Don't like Supercars,..try the Liqui Moly 12 hr?

This race shows how irrelevant the racing taxis are in the scheme of world racing categories - while the racing taxis cannot go in this race because they are no longer based on Production Vehicles, there are no other Aussie cars in the race - in theory HSVs could be invited to participate in Class I (Invited Cars) but I guess they are just not good enough so are not invited. Ford does have a Focus RS in the race so I guess that is one thing. So a Focus is good enough to go in but not good old Aussie muscle.

Also telling all cars in the race are either European or Japanese - no Aussie or American.

Race Information - Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour

Aaahh, trust "Mr.Mustang" to introduce a totally irrelevant point of view to this great race by mentioning something which has nothing to do with what is a world class race, just as the Bathurst 1000 has no relevance to this, but which is also recognized as a great race,also on a world wide basis, with a world wide audience. If you've ever listened to any of the comments by competing overseas drivers, you might realize that whatever car they're driving, in either category, and some drive in both, they have a completely different point of view to yours.
Such negativity as yours would see no motor racing at all in Aussie.
But anyway, I might as well ask, what would your formula be for a successful motor racing category in Aussie, that is, if you are prepared to disclose one of your "secrets" to a "random"?

Hows the Jag going Garry? ...

Nothing passed a Bentley down Conrod,
The Mercedes was a slug.
The Ferrari had the best brakes.
There is no substitute for brains Van Gisbergen.

I watched about 9 hours and its much better than supercars.

There was a lone Viper Garry,,

and with good reason

Excellent race I thought, particularly the last hour or so.
GREAT victory for the Ferrari, a bit of a dark horse when all the previous "P.R." had been on the Mclarens & the new Mercedes.
Poor old SVG,...came in for a bit of a hammering from Engel,...but good TV I suppose.
SVG is super fast, ya "live by the sword, ya die by the sword",...not a good day for him, but he's a SUPER driver, perhaps more importantly a really genuine guy, & He will live to fight another day.
Can't wait for next year, ya never know, they might have a Mustang running next year, Ford have just produced such a factory racer, ..maybe it'll make "Mr. Mustang" happy?...but I don't think so.

I won't be watching any more of this. boring.
the attraction of the old super cars was that they were ,sort of, the car you drove yourself.
4 door family type saloons.
the cars today were nothing like what the ordinary guy drives, and yes I am aware the super cars do not really resemble apart from body shape the family car, but really there was nothing as exciting as the old bathurst today. have better things to waste a day on.
