cold tyres lol

[zebra]

it's been called that since he died. what should they have called it? i think you are pathetic for thinking that having a memorial trophy for the person who holds the record for number of wins is pathetic.

+1.

Typical GTR fanboi who cant move past 1992

[benm]

safety cars trigger safety cars...

I'm going to use cold tyres as the excuse for everything that goes wrong life from here on.

Why did you lose traction at the rear? cold tyres

Why did you spin a bearing? cold tyres

Why did you forget to feed the kids? cold tyres

I like this idea.

They make it out like they have never driven on cold tyres before......Note they are all kids saying this....Cold tyres mustnt be modeled properly on Need for Speed

yeah. same as how the GTR fanbois would go on about how it took until last year to break the race record, despite the fact that the average lap done under race conditions has been much faster than the GTR for many years, just safety cars slowed the race down.

quick question with the cold tyres excuse,

if you have a 300zx, which do you go with? cold tyres or engine out? or is cold tyres the reason, engine out the solution?

[zebra]

Spin due to cold tyres....engine out

1080p coverage of bathurst, about bloody time!

Not happy with it though. I'm running the sound back through the home theatre system to take advantage of the "surround sound".It's most distracting. Not every camera angle has full sound, and the volume seems to vary with different cameras.

I ended up turning it off and just take the TV sound.

i just realised the trophy is called the Peter Brock trophy = PATHETIC its getting worse

Why wouldn't they call it the Brock trophy...

Love or hate the supercars, ford or Holden there is no disputing that Brock is an Aussie Motorsport icon.

i have mine running through the surround sound system. sounds fine. i watch all tv through it. maybe tweak the settings a bit.

I'm awaiting the comment about 2:08's being slow cause Sierra Sierra or cyber could probably do it in 2:06......

Waters into the wall, whoops.

lol yeah. they all like to talk about qualifying times but don't realise that the race laps done were about 6 or 8 seconds slower than qualifying times because they basically turned the engine into a grenade for qualifying. these days they are only about 1 or 2 seconds slower than qualifying laps. if you were to put the GTR that won back in 92 in todays race it would already have been lapped, probably 2 or 3 times.

hahaha yep

I laughing at my FB feed at the moment.

Lots of "omg holdens are so much better etc"

Im sitting here going wtf they are the same car you dickheads.

Even the Holden engine is a carbon copy of the D3 headed ford...only difference is the engine mounting posistions and intake manifold bolt holes

[mad082]

hahaha, i think the chopper pilot might've suddenly thought he was a maggpie for a second there

[zebra]

yeah I bet there a CASA/Air Services Australia guys watching and shaking their head

[mad082]

wouldn't have been as bad as it looked on tv.

[Neil]

No the choppers on cold tyres you idiot.

[navdan]

I was surprised they didn't "scramble" the safety car so the chopper could do that!

[fatz]
