Thread: Bathurst....V8 Supercars...Russel is driving!!

Got to say, I really enjoyed that overall. A bit dull to start with, but got going and ended up being a corker.

I might get back into the V8's a bit more I think.

Whincup won the race for Lowndes, if the mongrel hadn't been in P2 at the restart (which if he had obeyed the rules he wouldn't have been) by blocking the rest of the field, especially Winterbottom, and giving Lowndes an unbeatable lead of 13 seconds, Winterbottom would have swallowed Lowndes.
I hope Winchup gets dropped like a hot potato, he is an arsehole, Regards Frank.

team tactics have won many a bathurst race

have another glass of Chateau Sour Grapes

That is so far away from the facts, that it's not worth a comment.

He does have a point, not sure if it would have changed the outcome, but I was surprised that he was not pulled from P2 before the restart, possibly a bit of interference on the guys behind him.

Frank's right on the money. That's a fact.
For the second consecutive year, Wincup has had a brainfart in his self-centred quest to win at all cost. Twice he's defied team orders, to the detriment of the team, trying to improve his personal position. Twice it has brought him and the team undone.

...race committee hadn't made their decision before the restart.

I haven't heard any blocking complaints from other drivers....

Have a look on you tube,there are heaps of vids on the final laps of many of the Bathursts over the years.There weren't many that were not crackers.

Here is an example
