Quote from: Joe5619 on October 11, 2026, 05:35:54 PM**** YES!!!   I'm not a dick Johnson fan, but seeing him & Jill so emotion made me happy, you can see what it means to them.. And Brodie, what a win!!!

And I'm laughing my arse off at T18... They didn't learn from 2 (or was it 3) years ago, when they did the very same thing to both cars.. Morons..
This day and age they should have it sorted. Maybe they need AI to calculate fuel numbers for them, seems the engineers/data analysts can't get it right.

Was cool to see DJ at the end, probably means a hell of a lot for the guy.

Quote from: Trevor on July 08, 2026, 02:13:55 PMNobody seems excited?

I stopped getting excited years ago. maybe watch 1 in 5 races live now, and only then if I have absolutely nothing else on the agenda.The only thing that got me watching this year was the introduction of Toyota, and that held my attention for about 2 meetings. It just doesn't entertain anymore, and races are more and more being won on pit strategy and penalties rather than racing.
I'm basically the same madbugger
Perhaps bring back the shorter sprint races as I've been saying for years. Even qualifying races at more events.
And yes I was a fan of the reverse grid races back in the mid 2000s.

Quote from: stevo qld on March 11, 2026, 03:25:58 PMI haven't seen the instagram, whatever that is, but Police in Brisbane have been issuing radar speeding fines to cyclists for years, and rightly so, along with a lot of blitzes on failing to stop at stop signs.
Haha issue speeding fines to cyclists?
I am a cyclist myself and it is generally not easy to break the speed limit on roads. I'm sure most if not all of those are simply a warning to slow down.
As for not stopping at stop signs, they'd have far more success with motor vehicles.

Quote from: muz on October 30, 2025, 12:50:49 AMWonder what Stanaway did to score the immediate exit though.

Supercars and him have just never clicked.
Damn... Stanaway claimed to have a 2 year deal at PremiAir so maybe blew up at the team after two new drivers announced?

Can't watch, SuperView is having a glitch on their website. >:(

Quote from: skaifeman on October 16, 2025, 10:42:05 AMWhat's most surprising, is in the wake of Jimmy's move, is that drivers disagree with the penalty, suggesting Murray should've given space and not turned down.
Murray left the door partially open, enough for someone to look up the inside at the end of the biggest ATCC race, an experienced driver would have seen them in the mirror and not turned in or covered better. Probably would have had him back at the next corner anyway.

How many times did we see cars go wide because someone was on the inside line.

No surprise.
He'll be in the same team as Ludo, the man he sent on gardening leave!

RD is back just to annoy the likes of Trev  ;D

Quote from: muz on October 12, 2025, 06:51:29 PMGolding was the driver that threw it away today. That was his race, even before Woody got unlucky.
I don't think he threw it away. Probably more threw away a GM win.
It was well known his tyre pressures were different and took a couple laps after cool down behind SC to get the performance. The attempted pass at T2 - he said he wouldn't do any differently.
Id argue that it was Murrays race.

Quote from: Kytabu on October 11, 2025, 10:15:35 AMI have been trying to figure out why my interest in the series has waned over the last few years and, watching more of the coverage this weekend, I realise the commentary team is one of the biggest reasons. It has turned into such a wankfest.

Whether there is a parity issue or not, the way they talk about drivers who speak against the category (like SVG in 2023 and Kostecki this weekend) is a joke.
The commentary team needs a refresh, as has been suggested for several years now.

If Ford don't win tomorrow, it would be pretty embarrassing. They have a strong line up.

Quote from: Sonic on October 08, 2025, 08:16:27 PMwhen I checked today the report said good chance of rain hitting on Sunday around 4pm... sounds good to me!
Partly cloudy. Medium chance of showers. Winds west to northwesterly 25 to 35 km/h tending west to southwesterly 15 to 20 km/h during the afternoon.

Hoping for a GM win because it's going to be pretty impossible from next year, and the foreseeable future.

Quote from: Trevor on September 29, 2025, 08:58:10 PMI was talking to my son today, we have been to Bathurst heaps if times, he was at Cape York for Bathurst last year, I went. Today we said we probably won't even watch it.
That's a shame. Well, I guess we will hear from you after Bathurst? Maybe Gold Coast?

Feel sorry for this guy.
Though if I had something like this, not driven on the road, I would still insure it under contents insurance?
