Talking about running over cars I see that Austin Hill starts 33rd this morning...   :D

Hill took him and young Zilisch out last week.
He shows every time that he is in a different class to the rest of the field on road courses. He just glides past them, generally without hitting them, as if they weren't there.

I reckon someone will be fed into the inside barrier of the fast chicane they've setup.

...and that was that. Austin Hill takes out the two Trackhouse specialists.

The race lost a lot of momentum and interest after that.
Congratulations to young Corey Heim for getting the win though.

Stevo you forgot Roy Hammond in the Steel Eel mk2 and the Hammond Horror.
As far as subscriptions go I don't think we pay much, my wife does all that and certainly don't pay for extras.

SVG did drive very well at Nashville.
I wasn't sure what was going to happen at that last restart but he played it well and that three car wide finish was very close.
The Toyotas were untouchable though.

Personally I prefer ch 9 (or any fta channel) as they don't drop out around here. Kayo drops out all the time when we try to watch something and they are useless at helping to fix it.

I do realise that the day will come when no sport worth watching will be on fta, unfortunately.

It was a brilliant drive from SVG yesterday.It was daylight between him and everybody else.
You have a point about the oval cars Skaifeman particularly when all 3 cars are really off the pace.

He suffered some incredible setbacks in life but it seemed he never gave up.

RIP Alex

There was minor contact from Brodie in the initial phase but after that Mostert made no attempt to follow the track and basically drove Kostecki off the track. The front on view is very telling.

SVG wrung the neck of his car yesterday but it was obvious it was clearly lacking. His skill is what brought it home in second place. If that was supercars a lot of people would be screaming for parity as Reddick had a clear advantage on the straights.

His performance in winning the day before was highlighted by some excellent passing manouvres.

He was run over by a hybrid in battery mode in December.The driver was reversing down a sloping driveway which he just happened to be at the bottom of. He didn't hear it. He was facing the other direction so didn't see it.
Most of his ribs are broken or cracked, he has a massive head wound, his left clavicle is broken (been plated and screwed) his right leg and foot have basically been deskinned so he's had multiple skin grafts already.

So tell me how good these silent cars are again...



There's a simple solution,  already in use in some EVs. Also has been in use in some ice vehicles for years. https://carinterior.alibaba.com/buyingguides/why-evs-make-noise-in-reverse-safety-explained

A young girl who would be clueless when buying the car and a salesman who would just want the car gone out of the showroom.
I have no idea what the make and model of the car is and whether it is fitted with the reverse sound 'option.' I just know the poor bloke did not hear anything.

Quote from: LG on December 01, 2025, 05:18:09 PMIt's not just the best racer unless he does everything from owning and building the car, building and tuning the engine and working out the strategy to win. There's dozens of people in each team who all have a part in making that racer what he is. Unfortunately for Feeney he was let down yesterday by the motor from Saturday which was playing up. Someone in the team decided against swapping the motor out. This was for the biggest and most important race of the season for Feeney - the one where he was going to have every chance to become the champion for 2025. I'm guessing the boss would have the last say in that decision and we all know that that particular boss doesn't have a good track record for making the right decision in big races.

Yeh agreed. His 125 race wins, 4 of which are at Bathurst and 7 championships definitely backs your comment up.

Unless you are referencing 2x Bathursts where he made an error, which statistically speaking, makes your comment incorrect.

Those decisions he made as a driver against the team's best advice shows he doesn't think things through clearly and put himself ahead of the team. His race record has nothing to do with it.
