tab Sucker Moderating Team 32,303 Member For: 20y 8m 1d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 08/10/06 09:46 AM Share Posted 08/10/06 09:46 AM Best Bathurst I've seen in a long time. Lowndes made my year. Great result! ←Those last few laps after the restart would have to be the most nail-biting motor race I've ever watched.Definately went to the most deserving, and unlike Dags I'm not saying that just because he's a torana boy.

I think he deserves it - especially after his huge effort at Sandown. Yep, those 8 Safety Cars sure make for a exciting ending!Really luv'ed those in car dashes as the drivers do the circuit - check out those speeds they reach - close to 300km/h down the straight!!!But, what a race - probably will go down in history as one of the most memorable (especially being the inaugural one for the Brock Cup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcl Toughest BA Turbo Lifetime Members 3,408 Member For: 22y 2d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 08/10/06 10:53 AM Share Posted 08/10/06 10:53 AM An great way to spend 7 hours, and many memorable moments: the last 20 laps were enthralling, and a great drive by Lowndes to kept the Kelly boys at bay.It must have taken a lot of skill to keep the cars on the track with that oil overfill error in the afternoon, dropping oil on the track, and there seemed to be a lot more tyre problems than normal, possibly because it was one of the hottest days at Bathurst in many years.The 300kph "off" onto the sand was great to watch, then the jump over the track back onto the sandpit.Great to see many Holdens drop out, and the dominance of the Ford finish.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
