I only saw last 50ish laps...

my thoughts?

took 155 laps to setup a great 6 lap race!

well done Brodie... fought back and the SC got him the win.

cool to see Will pumped for Brodie and giving DJR a pump on the podium

disappointed for Bates... the fairytale that almost came true... Chaz's bingle (OUCH!!) stole it from them 6 laps from home... glad they at least got on the podium

ADP... how gutted must the bloke be to get a DNF after starting the final lap in first place...

let's just make all future Bathurst's 6 laps and be heading home by lunch LOL!

My wife and I will be in Ballarat when the race is on. I might get time to watch a bit, bit not really concerned if I don't

I'll be seeing very little too Trev... maybe a little of Fri? won't see Sat and most of Sun... might get lucky and catch the last few laps of the main race and that'll be it.

I would never have guessed that you two blokes would be the ones to post about not watching it! Crazy times. Have never seen the two of you post like this ahead of a V8 weekend, ever! wow.

a little bit of 'meh', a little bit of can't... work Thu/Fri... family gig up country on Sat so I'll be on the road... and then return drive at some point on Sun...

but I kinda agree with you... there was a time I would have made it work to at least watch some of it...

now the desire to watch B has moved to the 6 & 12 hour races.

Had to be done. 2 big incidents (can't call them accidents because neither was) and we can't afford to have anyone else getting Denyer'd

We got so lucky this year (if you want to call their condition 'lucky') to have not had deaths. GD's especially... a moment earlier after him not bothering with the yellows would have seen the car he hit into the driver's door of the stationary car and they would not have been so lucky. still can't believe he didn't get served up over that pathetic piece of driving. should have received some time off track for that!

the "2nd's" were outstanding... the conditions were thrown at them and they excelled...

BRT... very disappointed for them... in other places around town folk are suggesting, ala cricket, that if race laps are reduced then the minimum laps for a driver should also reduce... I kinda agree (don't know if that would have made a difference in this instance)... both cars would have been fully in the window if it went full distance (which it should have)...

Walkies... 1&3? reckon they'll take that! Mozzie 20 secs in front of Kai (also nice work!) and over 30 secs in front of his team mate

another what could have been for Randle after a stellar drive from Goodall... running in 2nd for ages in the worst of it only to get punted to the back of the field.

tough gig for the Erebus cars... running well early but the weather conspired and dropped them both to nowhere (14/18)

so ends this years Bend 480...

is it this weekend? did see SC promo selling tix cheap, sounds like they already have a record crowd booked in

Will was just a tad chirpy! LOL

Last few laps were hectic

interesting thought from that Albert.

Will has been racing a non-compliant car all season...

so... all of his results from the 2026 season should be disqualified and removed from the record...

wonder how that would go down? LOL

and it comes to this...

a page that was full on Supercars nutters doesn't give a damn sufficiently to even have 1 page of chatter about the weekend...

and only 1 post of that was actually discussing the weekend (the tyre off the bead)...

but, on the bright side... Supercars have just released a statement saying that it was a record V8Central engagement!!

congrats all!

next question would then be... who can/cannot appeal a decision?

a lot of folk are unimpressed by the judiciary not taking action after a 3 car incident under double yellow at the B6HR... where do we sign up to get it addressed and the offending driver dealt with? (not that it would ever happen, that would be made sure of)

Quote from: mikeamerica84 on July 30, 2026, 10:05:14 PMIs this the last year at Barbagallo?

The Street Race is due for 2028, so you'd think we'll still be here in 2027.

Then they're looking at a double header in 2028, street circuit/Barbagallo.
I'd think there's a very real possibility that 2027 could be the final year (until the street circuit contract comes up).

did they say on today's telecast (what little I saw) that it was to be the opening round? can't see back to back WA to start the year?

In a rear moment of honesty, Supercars has said the crowds have decreased year on year.

a little surprising but some figures can't be fudged sufficiently to make it smell like chocolate pudding!

HAHA!!! Bring the excitement ya reckon?

Quote from: muz on July 08, 2026, 08:20:29 PMLike Night and day, you can almost guarantee Trev and Sonic will be the first to open a thread about an upcoming race weekend and post comments about no one being interested 

I'm keen, normally good racing.

HA! If I'm somewhere near a tv I'll have a look... but I do get sick of the garbage side of the 'sport' real quick.

There is just too much dribble and too much downtime at the top end of town.

SC events are good for catching up with mates though
