Bathurst V8 Supercar Racing !
« on: October 10, 2014, 01:45:08 AM »
Go the mighty Fords !

I love Bathurst. Never missed watching it over the last 35 years since I was 9 years of age.
Used to buy the tapes when I was young and watched it every year it's been on TV.
Think most sports fans look forward to the car racing.

Hoping Dick Johnson Racing (DJR) does well and with Marcos Ambrose joining Dicky Johnsons team next year with sponsor Team Penske USA coming on board, it would be good for a Ford team to beat those bloody Holdens.

Anyone got any predictions ?

Dying to see the top ten shoot out for pole position (used to be Hardies Heroes shootout) ahh, the good old days.

Who's going to win the race ? Who's going to watch Bathurst ?

BREAKING NEWS

Just read on the web, Ford Australia pulling out of the car racing and not renewing in 2015 but Holden has renewed V8 Supercar Licence. Ford are idiots ! Ford fans like me will be pissed off, Dicky Johnson says its a public relations disaster and insanity by Ford which will cost them $$$ plenty. DJR hasn't recovered a cent from Ford since 2008 but has stayed loyal. Maybe Ford USA might step in ?
Anyway, Ford vs Holden all over red rover !

Holden vs Mercedes vs Nissan vs Volvo....
Will my 5 yr old son even know what a Ford or the Blue Oval is when he is a teenager ?
Dumb Ford released press release 2 days before Bathurst. Public Relations Disaster.
Could have waited to after Bathurst....

The world just isn't the same anymore . Modern times don't mean better times I think sometimes...

Nothing but noise and bogans and I do not quantify this nonsense as a sport.


Best week-end of the year to get out of the house and do something with the family.

Once upon a time it was “win at Bathurst on the weekend, win in the showrooms on Monday”. Ford probably realise that Hyundai, Toyota, VW and Mazda are winning in the showrooms without spending big on racing.

Been watching Bathurst ever since I can remember as a kid.  One of the great memories I have of my Dad sitting down with him watching Bathurst. 

Bad bad move by Ford pulling out of the V8s and almost makes you wonder what sort of effect this will have on the V8 Supercars brand overall.

P.S.  GO HOLDEN!

This is far and away my favorite weekend of the year! Love Bathurst and the V8's.

I will be watching all day sunday with a mad grin on my face all day.

Go the Holdens and Lowndesy.

Also probably helps that i have one of these on the way......

I am getting one of these into the new year.
In terms of bang for your bucks, this has got to be the bargain of the decade. Carries over most parts from the GT-F but for around $20K less.
I look at the re-introduction of the XR8 as a 'pro' version of a 'LE' product. No unique number but similar features to the LE.
Why get a Mustang when there is a final chance of an Aussie built muscle car. When 2016 comes, well its RIP for Aussie Fords.
P.S. I hear Dick Johnson will bring a new XR8 to Bathurst this weekend for a show and spin.

Yes, will be one of the last V8 Interceptors .

The police car version is tipped to have a 315 kilowatt supercharged engine with a lightened body and apparently will be closer to over 350 K watts.

Ford will be putting all the goodies into police persuit cars to keep the govt happy.
A friend recently bought a debased police per suit special which was 18 months old, it was a debased GT with everything Ford could throw at it. Paid a third of the original price and car was low kilometre and in excellent condition serviced on the dot. White car ofcourse.  This is a good way to buy a absolute missile. His paperwork for the car says HO on the options amongst many other factory goodies.

Last of the big bangers will be built this next 18 months. Wait near the end to pick up the SVO HO Builds for wholesale prices.  There's nothing like a V8. Ballistic Missiles in style. Love it !

Nice car but where's the blue oval ? Lol
Will it be quicker than the Ford version.  Normally I would bet on Holden to pop it at the post, but not this time. The motor Ford has coming out is the most powerful and fastest 4 door Ford ever built. Even the Americans are asking Australia Ford how they did it. A battle Royale is coming. Awesome.
Anyway, nice car dude.
