Ford wins Bathurst

[Adamal]

the undercar and wheel arch cameras were oh so cool!

And notice they even had sponsership stickers under there too hahaha

[matt dunn]

i would of thought it would be easier to just start on a new car, are they only alowed 1 car per season or something?

i liked the shot of the extractors glowing red.

Nah, they can use as many shells engine's etc etc as they want during the season.

The team that dad works for which is Sirromet Wines,
( which is Paul Morris, Car 39 which was Kayne Scott/Alan Gurr, and the TKR car)
Has a complete spare shell painted wired etc etc all set to go in the w/shop at all times that can be prepared and assembled within a week if required.

Weather TKR use it or not will depend on what the TKR management want to do, as no use buying another car (they own the one they had, and user pays of course) as then they will end up owning two Commodores and a Ford at the end of the season, as they have supposedly commited to buying a FPR falcon for next year.

Porter dies after crash

October 8, 2006 - 7:27PM


Race driver Mark Porter died today after he suffered massive injuries in a crash at Mount Panorama on Friday while preparing for the Bathurst 1000.

Porter died at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney today after suffering serious head and chest injuries in a 180kph crash with David Clark during a second tier V8 race at the Bathurst 1000 meeting.

The Gold Coast based New Zealander leaves behind his wife Adrienne and one-year-old son Flynn.

He was 31. *rip*

[Chickenman]

That sucks!

[Snoozin]

yeah it was a big hit so would have been a LOT of damage

yeah big air award to richards

That was awesome, betcha he was packing himself throughout that ride!!!

[Dell'Orto]

I'm surprised they let him go back out after that, he would have been so wired afterwards!

[Snoozin]

No doubt! "I wanna do it again....." and so on.

And another thing, even though I am a Holden supporter when push comes to shove, I would have actually been keen to see Seton/Courtney come away with a win.....

[Mr Revhead]

yes, a seton win is long over due

[Zitchu]

A good win for Ford

But FFS the race directors need to not be so bloody stupid and let them actually have a race the safety car was really startin to piss me off.

I mean when Murphys mate crashed he managed to get back on the track and drive to the pit but they still brought it out.

[Mr Revhead]

yeah but hed stopped in a really really bad place. he got going after the sc had been deployed.
once they say "go safety car" its not reversable.i say good on them for reactiing so fast.

was a bugger it was out so much, but thats bathurst. throws the stratigies out the window. closes it up.

[IH8TEC]

they mentioned that he was talking to the team as he was skipping along, lol. i say he planned it all along to help kelly get closer for the finish

[pureadrenalin]

How about when the saftey car pulled out infront of one of the cars exiting pits. Had to jam on the anchors. Just clipped his rear bumper. Would have been funny if it was harder. "saftey car in crash"

[Mr Revhead]

as it was they were concerend about the gas level int he safty car!


remember the truck acorss the track on the restart incident a few years back?

[Crucible]

i say he planned it all along to help kelly get closer for the finish

thats what I reckon lol.

but ford took it anyway so it didnt matter, but if they lost I would of arguing with my holden mates about that till the end.

all I can say is about bloody time, go ford harharharhar
