Or a hey!! he works on one of those Dev Series teams.

No, I'm saying that the top Development Series teams are proper, small teams, whereas TKR are just a pathetic operation.

As a kiwi I love the concept of team kiwi and having meet Kayne and seen his achievements back home, I have a lot of time for him. However the management of the team is an embarrassment which unfortunately reflects badly on a couple of individuals, ie the drivers, who don't deserve it.

My wish is for PCR to take over the team and become a 2 car outfit. The reality is they reflect the philosphy of a NZ team better than TKR (as do Tasman). Unfortunately this will never happen, the Stone brothers tried to buy the team last year (and keep Gis in the seat) but David John ate another pie and said no. I just can't see the team getting out of this in a hurry and as a result a great concept will die.

Seton at HRT for me = no longer like him.

Ditto. He still will have some pace at the mountain, and I would love to see Seton win, not a realistic chance though.

I always wanted him to win at the mountain, but as he is driving in a holden i dont want him to win.

meh rather see him disappear and give the seat to someone who deserves it.

I updated the TV times using tvguide.com.au to make adjustments for the Daylight Savings Change. Sunday Bathurst coverage should now start at 6am in Brisbane and 4am in Perth. As Friday and Saturday are fixed times, Brisbane will have the coverage on 1 hour delay, and Perth on 3 hours delay.

Thanks garbo.

boooo I don't want a 1 hour delay I want it live Please give 10 back the rights

Yeah that is sooooo gay.

Anyway coming back sat night now which is sweet, can relax with beers in hand to watch the big one on Sunday.

delayed sux ass for Friday and Saturday but atleast the 1000 wont be delayed, with the telecast starting at 6am it looks as if it will be live.

Bar the last few years, saturday has always been delayed (except for 1994 & 1995)



A decade ago he was still winning races (infact into the 00's he was still race winning material)

Looks like Ryan Brown is replacing Damian and Jose Fernandez replacing Gene for this weekend. Hopefully Jose is on one of his good weekends because when he is he's electric, but when he's not he's in the wall.

never heard of this Ryan Brown chap either but he has experience at bathurst which is a plus.

2 days away before the weekend starts!

The Sunday at this event is one of the few race days that Adelaide doesn't get on delay. Thankfully they do this countrywide as well.

All good scotty, i misread your post as 'he was past his prime a decade ago"

the only thing i can find in relation to a Ryan Brown and bathurst is this from march this year, i presume he's talking about the bathurst WPS motor racing festival



Ryan brown Races in the Improved Production series.

and he is the NSW champion

dont have time to do more digging but in sure it's there.

I'm pretty sure he raced at Bathurst last year in the Fujitsu Series in an HPM Falcon.

From natsoft

Ryan Brown in 2007 at Bathurst
P1 - 32nd - 2:28.3828 +17.2181 (33rd excluded)
P2 - 33rd - 2:28.0083 +17.7032
Q - 32nd - 2:21.2576 +12.2312 (1 car didn't set a lap)
R1 - 22nd - 2:21.4693 fastest lap (race fastest 2:11.2916) (Finished ahead of 1 running driver, and 9 DNFs)
R2 - 20th - 2:18.6564 fastest lap (race fastest 2:11.1454) (Finished ahead of 3 running drivers and 7 DNFs)

So he won't be a front runner, but he will at least improve over the weekend, and if he can start from where he finished last year he could post a reasonable result in the races.
