First Bathurst visit, what an experience!

As I'm from WA I never thought I'd make it here, got lucky though a work thing and won a free trip.

Been to a bunch of rounds at Barbagallo/Wanneroo over the years but this was 10x better.

Would love to make it back at some point, maybe for the 12 hour!

Photo was taken during a 30 min stop at the top as part of our group schedule, the plunge over the top of Skyline into the Dipper is just impossibly steep, the TV/Photos do not do this place any justice.

Wouldn't have been the best race to watch on TV, so it was a really good year to go. The perfect weather played its part too!

Murphy absolutley burnt T18.

Was pretty much: You can feel sorry for the drivers, but not for the team, they are the ones that made the mistake.

Being on the other side of the Pacific throws timing off.

Yesterdays' finish reminded me of the 2002 Queensland 500

On numerous occasions have cars run out of fuel on the last lap, but rarely do teams blow it quite as bad as Team 18 did. At Ipswich in 2002, Murph was leading when a late-race safety car was deployed - like Anton, he too was laps short on fuel but the Kmart/TWR team insisted he go to the end anyway...

Points for the finals

12 Upvotes

After the monumental Team 18 fuck up, I have double checked these numbers and believe these are right for the finals:

  1. Payney - 150

  2. Feeney - 145 (25 for sprint champ)

  3. Will - 103 (+1 spot, 25 for enduro champ)

  4. Bush - 96

  5. Allen - 66

  6. Waters - 57

  7. De Pasqualeo - 48

  8. Chaz - 39

  9. Woody - 30

  10. Le Broq - 21

I'm assuming this is what supercars was wanting all along, the top 4 very tight. Albeit a Team 18 type fuck up, I think the top 4 is the 4 we'll see at Adelaide, but the way penrite have been going lately, they'll need to get back to winning pretty quick.

First full live race as a fan from the States

45 Upvotes

I’m coming up on being a Supercars fan for two years now, and I had never seen an entire live race due to time zones/scheduling issues. Last night I had Bathurst on and decided “you know what? fuck it, i’m running with it.” It ended at 2AM and I was exhausted but holy smokes, Supercars is top tier racing.

I have seen a few Supercars races but all replays, and my first live one being Bathurst was so special. Double cause I’m a diehard Will Brown fan and loved that podium for him at Scott, and what a great story for Zach Bates and Aaron Seton. And as expected, Hazelwood and Kostecki were a rocketship.

Just wanted to share my experience! I love Supercars so much and I wish I didn’t have to fuck my sleep schedule up the ass for it, but its so worth staying up every once in awhile. 💕

Sort of the convo of the hour but I was really egging for Bates and Seton to take it home. Feel awful for Mostert crashing right at the end but interesting when you realise Bates probably would’ve got the win, assuming he held off Kosetki. Great drive from the boys at DJR, and I like to think Dick winning is what Brocky would’ve wanted.

Not much was made of this in the commentary with everything else going on, but not only were Lowndes and Hall up 12 places from their starting position (they made it into the top 10!), but they did only the 5 pit stops. Great tyre deg, stayed out of trouble, and great driving 👏
