Chaz would've had Brodie there anyway.
Question has to be asked though - should Chaz have been off the throttle under SC? Or was the recovery vehicle not meant to be there?

whole situation seems really dangerous actually. Should never have recovery vehicles in front of cars going full tilt

Well done to the 97 and holden. Perfect way to end that era and with the best driver racing in this country.

Best three cars over the weekend. Still waiting to hear what happened to Davo.
Waters/Moffat should've been proper in the mix and not needing to chase if not spun. Moffat still makes me nervous whenever he's in the car.
Mostert or SVG deserved the win. Both a cut above in the final stint. GT was the class of the co-drivers.

I'm surprised Brodie didn't get a penalty for turning Moff around.. That one seemed pretty clear cut to me, 100% a penalty

I'll just quote instead of repeating it.

Who was the quote from? The commentators guess?

There was clearly an unintentional error in the deployment of the rescue vehicle.

We'll done to T8, Shane and Garth and Holden to win the race.

Great to see Holden win their final Bathurst  :)

Sorry. I'm quoting skaifeman as his comments parallels mine on the race.

Supercars website reported gear failure for Davo.

Fitting end at Bathurst for Holden going out with a win.

Wasn't a bad race, but hopefully Gen3 enables cars to follow closely. Too hard to overtake.

It's super important that Gen 3 works... if it does the 1000 will be pretty epic I think

Nah Will admitted to a mistake.

Will looks to have said it was his error. It definitely sounded like something broke before the rear locked up on the telecast:

The intro of Gen3 should shake things up at this track for next year. It's basically been the same three teams on the podium since 2020. 888, WAU and Tickford have this place figured out.

As a ford fan I have to say that I am gutted I dont know what it is about Bathurst, the mustangs can do some quick laps during practice etc but just don't seem to be able to mix it with the Commodores at the pointy end.
I am not trying to make any excuses at all the Commodores won it fair & square, better drivers & co drivers & where able to stay out of trouble. 
To be totally honest as a Ford fan I feel very frustrated & disappointed.
