c.robertson00 11 Report post Posted October 11, 2009 The wet made it stupid and turned the race into abit of a lottery. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiwi535 538 Report post Posted October 11, 2009 sh*t this starts up every year. You watch the V8's for how close the racing is. The action, the banter between drivers and teams and especially the crowd. Who gives a sh*t if the GTR's, M3's, Sierras were faster. I have no interest in watching a one horse race! There is plenty of other races out there that still have these sort of cars. And they are dead boring. I will never own a Holden or a Ford. But I still enjoy the race series. If this was Big BMW's and Mercs nobody could afford to race and the crowd will be fill of dull businessmen. look up a series called superstars...based on 5l v8 4 door sedans lots of e 39 m5s e60 545s and audis and jags.I think its an italian series Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
|ncary 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2009 What an awesome finish to the race yesterday! Murphey missed out on a podium finish by 0.0042 seconds.. He deserved to win it, he was amazing all day. But a wee bit of racing bad luck hit him hard during one of the safety cars - missed the pit entrance by a few seconds as the yellow flags out, negating precious refueling which ultimately lost him the win. Loved the weather too. Rain, Sun, rain, sun, rain, sun < exactly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) That was a real piss off, safety car FTL. Was watching some old video’s of my favourite two years 1991 and 1992 and they just lft all the cars on the side of the road if they were in a not so bad place, was way cooler when they were relaxed. Also noted the GTR’s fastest laps were 2.14’s, the new cars are in the 2.07’s in the damp. Edited October 11, 2009 by Apex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmarco 56 Report post Posted October 12, 2009 I still remember the Lusty Brothers parking their Commodore in the bank on the same corner every single year (the esses if I remember correctly) - and they used to leave it there until end of raceday.
