This is a forum. It's for chat. People post differing opinions. It's also a New Zealand forum - and Bathurst is an Australian race...


But hey, feel superior about not enjoying a classic event because it doesn't fit your elitist quota on minimum number of manufacturers.Your loss.

Superior? What a strange thing to think.

Wow.


big


deal...

Why would someone who doesnt care, still post a negative comment. What a sad person.
The reason there are only 2 makes of car in is simple.
The cars have have to conform to a thick rule book to match them, this makes for exciting racing. If Albanians could build a rear wheel drive v8 sedan to the rules they could race it as well.
I love Ford, hate the general and if Henry is up there in heaven I hope he looked down at Bathurst on Sunday and saw his car win.

711741 2008-10-13 18:43:00 Good that you mention Formula 1 kenj. I switched over channels from 3 to Sky Sports 2 to watch it on Sunday, how dull and boring it was. I only watched it because I pay for it. Recorded the last 2 hours of Bathurst and watched it later.

711742 2008-10-13 22:59:00 I haven't watched Bathhurst since "those evil foreign cars that beat us Ozzy cars" were banned. Watched most of this one and found the last hour great. may also be the last one if the auto industry keeps loosing money. Next year it may well be Chrysler Vs Ford if GM and Chrysler merg.. paulw (1826)

It's a forum, prefect. If negative comments weren't allowed here then politics would never be discussed...

or Microsoft, Acer, Macs....

Nissan did it with only 6 cylinders! Aussies had to handicap them out of it 'cos they were too fast for the local lumps.

Ask Mark Skaife & Jim Richards about this car :thumbs:

I still fail to see what that proves?, There has never been any question that faster cars are available.

I wonder if the Japs have a negative view of their JGTC series because the Germans/Italians/British make a faster car.

I don't mind being paid back in kind - I was merely pointing out that your remark was personal.

If I started a thread about how much I enjoyed a Formula One race I would expect a negative comment or two. Is Bathurst some kind of sacred cow or something?
Deane F (8204)
711748 2008-10-14 04:25:00 Damn right its sacred.

And if your view had any merit it would have been treated accordingly.

Get the hint.

Anyway, enough petty rubbish posts.
