[carlo]

Here is some photos from the weekends Bathurst 24 hour race. I wont crap on about the cheating monaros here, but might bitch about the weather a bit.

First down to the highlight of the weekend.. Mr Ashwood brought down teh GT-R

Top pics Carlo, well done. Hope you guys enjoyed it up there.

And speaking of cheating Monaros, my Holden Motorsport/Brock to win/Invent a diff problem in the other car thread is gone. I suspect holden of hacking the site to keep this secret :uh-huh:

[carlo]

Yeah I thought it was funny the diff got hot on a safety car lap

[B-Man]

I've been a Brocky fan for Bloody ages - Since Torana days - But not after that Bullshit !

Carlo, TOPS pics of the Skyzers - best bit of the whole weekend !

[Jetdat]

nice pix..

just wondering if the legendary lap record holder George Fury driven Bluebird was there or not...thought i heard it was gonna be there...

I love the gibson GTRs, im just old enough to remember watching their races in the Group A days. What was the event like? Seemed alot less crowded and also seemed to have a hell of alot less rednecks running around than the supercar race. I might have to head up next year.

I cant believe the result, that was one of the biggest bits of bullshit i have seen in a long while. 20 mins to go and the #427 monaro all of the sudden has an over heating diff when it is 1 min ahead of the #05 monaro and once they eventually cooled it down and played around in the wheel arches with some air blowers it came out just behind #05 letting brocky take the big win number 10. I think channel 7 was going to start inventing races there for peter brock if he didnt win this one. I seriously hope my suspicions are all wrong for the sake of aussie motorsport.

Not only that they put 2 600HP Monaros worked to the shit house and a Porcshe thats only allowed exhaust mods, what kind of competition is that. Let the Germans work the hell out of the GT3 and we'll see Brock 67 laps behind !

Would love to see how those holdens hold up in the JGTC500 or JGTC300... I imagine that a smoking would occur!

and yet the Porcshe is still more expensive, go the HOLDENS

[carlo]

Actually...

Holden quoted the price of those two cars as 450k each

The porsche is under 300..

Go porsche!

Will they have the nerve to run it again next year even tho there isent a 7.0 engine even been used in a holden road car?? Cant wait to see all the CV8 owners thinking they can beat lambo's and porsches now.

[Terminal]

Ill have to make the effort to go to the 24hr one day, i can't be buggered at the moment. going to the 1000 every year kinda wore me down from the mount, plus its a 60 zone when i want to drive on it. i wish they'd let EVERYONE race on it.

also idiots who drive the wrong way around the mount should be taken off to the side a beaten with a stick for being stupid.

i hate to say it but Nations Cup, PROcar doesn't mean productions, it's more professional. Therefore, as the Mongrel isn't a production car, it doesn't matter, it can still race. But there are issues of parity, meaning weight and intake restrictions. It seems tho that the Mongrels are somehow "evading" these parity issues.

The M3 GTR running a practically stock, M5 engine, 4.9ltr V8, has more restrictions thant the f*cking Mongrel cars, f*cking pathetic.

But don't worry guys, cos guess who's coming to the party next year?? Falken R34 GTR anyone?? And that's Nations Cup, not just 24hr. I think they have 2 pretty much confirmed entries for R34 GTR's in Nations Cup next year. Hopefully some more GT500 cars are gonna make it down for the 24hr. 600hp R34 GTR wouldn't be that hard, and with ATESSA, and stripped down - Mongrels won't have a chance.

cheers.
