Is it too early to talk about Bathurst? (possible spoilers in the future)

[fordman]

In all of the years running, has Bathurst ever been postponed and run at a later date due to weather?

Not that I am aware of, brave call to do it though.

I do remember being at Bathurst 2014 and just a number of days after it snowed.
Would they race in this? I doubt it.

Super Snow Softs... we got this.

I remember Hail, after Sun and Rain in random cycles. An absolute nightmare for tyre changers and tacticians.

[Trevor]

I have been going on and off since 2000, maybe 6 or 7 times and I reckon there hasn't been one year where we didn't have some rain over the 4 days

[Zac]

That's Bathurst for you.

OTOH, I attended 22 times from the late 1960s to 2012, and I don't think there was any occasion when I didn't get sunburnt.

Could be a wet event rain forecast for all days

Same was predicted for last year, and it sprinkled for all of 10mins. Had to cut some pants into shorts it was so hot!

if this is half correct, we may be in trouble?

It'll be fine. The mountain is high ground if the Macquarie breaks it's banks.

So... we need to talk about the weather that's forecast: http://www.bom.gov.au/nsw/forecasts/bathurst.shtml

I know Bathurst can have Armageddon predicted and it scoots past but I think this is going to a wild weekend... a lot of red flags and shortened support races

yeah I heard 100mm over the 4 days earlier today... the ground is gonna be nasty!

thankfully there's not much area where the cars will get bogged at B... but they may be attracted to walls if the rain is bad enough.

[Brazen]

I honestly think at this point they start the race at 10am so they at least have more time up their sleeves to get it finished in case of red flags

prob way too late to change anything now... and if it got to a point where they were thinking of multiple red flags I'm sure they'd just stop the race totally.
