[dangerous_daveo]

I say development of the sport for the win! I mean, they run the same aero, same tyres, same wheels pretty much, must do 'x' pit stops etc. But yeah!

GTR-----> <------V8 Junk

[Col-GTSX]

Great find there John...

I see a sour looser...

[MountainRunner]

I was pretty angry at the whole thing. See I don't care if Ford or Holden win, but when a championship has tied points in the last race of the season I'm sitting back for a great battle. Then bang, shunted out and I'm cheated of the battle. If only GTR's were still racing, there would be no shunt on lap 2, as they would be 400m ahead of the pack by then !!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA......sooooooo true, doesnt the GTR still hold the fastest bathurst race time

[Mushroom]

just bring back the super tourers so many different cars all with differnt strengths and weaknesses made watching racing fun

[dangerous_daveo]

I say just bring back groub B!

[Chris_R33GTSt]

Yeah V8Supercars is lame and for Bogans. Bring back the GTR's and the Euro Touring cars. That provided for some very interesting racing. Its a pity that the rules were changed so that no one could see how much proper racing cars destroyed family sedans.

LOL.. Who said that

doesnt the GTR still hold the fastest bathurst race time

Indeed, for year 1991. Time was 6hrs 19mins and 14.8seconds.

Hardcore V8 fans and the media will repeatedly say that this time was achieved without the intervention of Safety Cars, so this figure is unlikely to be broken in the future.

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

so the gtr seriously still holds the record

[dangerous_daveo]

Well, TECHNICALLY, they arent the same class of cars... So the GTR would still hold an overall record, which happens to be in a class that is no longer in Australia. So it obviously cant be broken.

[MountainRunner]

The track has also changed since then.

[Benno31]

I do think they should allow Toyota to enter the Camry into the V8 Supertaxi Series seeing as they are becomming more popular as a taxi now.

Maybe have 2 classes and allow the maxi taxis to run as well.

[dangerous_daveo]

No dude. Thats the end of racing when they allow a FWD platform with no V8 in it to be run as a RWD race car. Then we get the NASCAR crap, where if one car wins more than 1 race in a row its because they are cheating. I mean, all the nascar actual cars that are in the showrooms are now FWD base. Its wrong, and I dont like it.

[Revhead]

Turn your sarcasm detector on lol

But yeah, the GTR's record will never be beaten because, as Paul said, the track has changed. It'll always retain the record for the old track configuration, simply because there's no way for anyone else to compete for it now. The fact that there were no safety cars (I'll take your word for it Karen ) would certainly have an impact too, but regardless it all academic.

I do miss the days of different types of cars, the "supercars" are sooo damn boring. It used to be good seeing cars that had their own strengths and weaknesses but were still competitive overall. V8 Supertaxis are incredibly bland in comparison. Unfortunately it looks like there's a bucketload of money in it, so it's here to stay I'd absolutely LOVE to see some variety in the series. It'd also be nice if, instead of the local manufacturers crying because they were being flogged, they used it as an incentive to step up to the plate. As it stands, there's not a great deal of a reason for them to do so, because they're not being compared to vastly superior machinery.

Meh anyway, it's all wishful thinking. Not going to happen, guess I'll just go back to the bike racing and rallies
