I stopped watching it many years ago. It is as boring as all get out now and has been for years.
It used to be good in the days of different classes and lots of different brands when really fast cars were lapping the likes of HB Vauxhall Vivas, etc.
I only ever went once, back in about 1967.

I bet my dad $15 that ford would lose and murphy would get a podium Finish
NO!!!!!
PACE cars are part of modern motor racing mate, as a safety issue. The alternative is the red flag and nobody wants to see that. A rolling start would screw it up though, too yank !Quote:

Say, does that make Lowndes the only driver to have won Bathurst ina HOLDEN and a FORD ??
No...others have done it a few times.:burnrubber:
I dont have a problem with pace cars,,
I HAVE a problem with using flatbeds to retrieve broken cars,,
which is why they need pace cars,,
why do they need to take ANY car back to the pits?
to save the teams from coming back up the mountain after the race??
its crap,,
skull drag the things off the track, clean up the mess and let the cars race,,
Lowndes at least is a LAND ROVER owner!!!!!
He got a Range Rover Sport last year......
Bring back some different manufacturers please....
Ford v Holden :rolleyes: :zzz: :2up:
Decent cars like this!!!:D

I like the mighty little Dato in the background,,
won more than its fair share of Bathurst victories:D
I'm afraid, unless you can present a business plan to Ford and holden showing them how they will make more money it isn't going to happen. :(Quote:
