Junkman Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 All four Walkinshaw cars are still in the race, and the worst placed one is in position 11.Is that still the man himself pulling the strings? Or his grandson?
sloth Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 the drop thru dipper is scary. even at 40kmh, in a road car. black flag was a misinterpretation of the rules around the flag. shame really. about to pour down....... Junkman 1
Junkman Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 Half time now.To bring this into perspective, the total race distance is Dover to Inverness and we are now at Preston. It'll be chucking it down in the second half. But 25 of 26 cars are still racing. OK, make that 24 now. That was a nasty one.10 cars are less than 10 seconds apart, 19 cars less than 20 seconds apart and 21 cars within the same lap. sloth 1
Junkman Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 BTW, if my calculation is correct, that pace car is lapping at ~130 clicks. sloth 1
sloth Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 yup. the other thing is, theres a tonne of marbles down off line, if it rain hard they move onto the race line causing major issues. Junkman 1
Junkman Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 the drop thru dipper is scary. even at 40kmh, in a road car. It looks fierce! They do it at twice that speed. sloth 1
Junkman Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 yup. the other thing is, theres a tonne of marbles down off line, if it rain hard they move onto the race line causing major issues. If rain, all that rubber and oil on the race line will turn to soap.Add marbles and this is going to be insanity squared. Oh, floodgates just opened. I'll deffo hang in now. sloth 1
Junkman Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 Whincup just did a 2.07.3552 - new record for V8s. That's 176+ kph average on a WET MOUNT PANORAMA!He has diamond balls the size of grapefruits. sloth 1
sloth Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 yet he's one of the most hated drivers over here.
Junkman Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 I can see to that...Who likes a winner?I like him already.
Junkman Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 Shitting Nora is that pissing down! I had no idea there is rain in Oz.That's not rain, that's Noah's deluge. The mayhem has begun promptly.
Junkman Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 The rain adds less than 20 Seconds to the lap times, a mere 16%.That #1 Whincup driven Austrian Holden is really pulling away now.About half a Minute lead, suddenly.
Junkman Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 96.5 OMGMPH average on a flooded Mount Panorama.Holy shit.
Junkman Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 Entirely btw, that camera helicopter pilot is a total lunatic.
155V6 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Thanks for all the updates.I fell asleep at about 1.00 so I'll watch the highlights tonight
sloth Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 no worries, i fell asleep at 154 and woke at 160; lol
Junkman Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 Craig Lowndes wins ahead of Mark Winterbottom and Garth Tander. Results here: http://www.v8supercars.com.au/championship/2015-v8-supercars-championship/supercheap-auto-bathurst-1000/sessions/championship/race-25
chaseracer Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 All four Walkinshaw cars are still in the race... Is that still the man himself pulling the strings? Unlikely, since he shuffled off this mortal coil nearly five years ago!
STUNO Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Absolutely ignored by all media here just next door. I could not even find a streaming site that worked properly. No media even reported that it was on, and of course no reports on news broadcasts. And that included pay tv afaik.I is severely disappointed.
STUNO Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 so I is lying in bed having my ears assaulted by Aardvark blues on shoutcast. I is liking that ! DSdriver 1
chaseracer Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Indeed. Was the cameraman asleep? Outlaw Bob's mate Blind Trevor could have seen Blanchard's car was out of shape. Some "replay"! Bathurst coverage isn't what it was, etc.
Junkman Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 Generally they did a bloody good job, especially that suicidal helicopter pilot. The whole thing is still as raving bonkers as it ever was. Whether you watch the 1972 race or this one, the only difference is the cars, the madness is the same. It's probably not a bad thing that it isn't in the global limelight. If it was, it'd soon be as padded and mollycoddled as that boring shit that's going on in Sochi today.
Junkman Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 Also on is the Fuji 6h, if you can find it and the delayed Charlotte 600, so plenty of stuff to compensate my sleep deprivation.
