This race will suck for 140 laps, there will be a late safety car, commentators will try and over hype the finish and it will be mediocre. I’m hoping to be proven wrong. Edit: great opening post btw |

Edit: great opening post btw I'm not expecting much from the main race, but who am I kidding, over here it's all about the supports, falling asleep in the Bathurst build up then maybe being awake in time for the last hour if you're lucky and they shout loud enough to wake you up Maybe the race is always more popular over here than there Unless rain, which, lets face it, always/never happens *Delete as appropriate Sad no Aussie Racing cars this year though |

Lack of parity and wheels falling off, sounds like Bathurst 1991 all over again. |

I’m hoping to be proven wrong at least the series didn't re-install competition cautions on road courses to bunch up the field hoping for utter chaos & wrecks, like a certain race in my neck of the woods on the same weekend it's still Bathurst - that track can make just about any race exciting, so I still have a little hope either way i give Roland Dane about a week and a quarter before he goes off and begs for more parts off of a certain terrible new car here stateside in a Speedcafe blog (again) |

Weather won't play a part. Besides a small chance of rain on Thursday they're not expecting any for the rest of the weekend. Although, last year it was supposed to rain 50mm+ on Sunday (top 10 shootout got washed out) and barely a drop fell if I remember, so I could be wrong. I hope I'm wrong. |

1987 was a weird year. It really did feel a like a different universe. Or that a stranger showed up and started playing with your favourite toy. |

First nail in the coffin for the sport...? Ford teams are (in Murray Walker's voice) absolutely furious All Ford Teams - Joint Statement wrote: Following ongoing analysis, Supercars, in conjunction with its independent CFD partner, D2H Group, hack acknowledged that there continues to be a disparity between the Gen3 Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. Therefore, technical parity has still not been achieved.
“Unfortunately, the proposed aerodynamic changes to the Ford Mustang, which have been acknowledged by all parties involved to reduce the delta between the two models, will not be implemented for the Bathurst 1000 this weekend. “The independent data shows that the Mustang will be at a continued disadvantage for the biggest race of the year, which we believe is unacceptable – and not what our sport is built upon. “While disappointed in the situation, every ford team will be doing their utmost this weekend, it’s what the fans deserve, it’s what our partners deserve, it’s what the Great Race deserves. “We will continue working together to correct the imbalance going forward, but now, our attention turns on track, respecting the challenge that The Mountain provides. |

The Masterton car is back on track, a real patchwork special. Love to see it. |
