Looks like the production style bathurst still exists!"Jeremy Gray and Chris Delfsma reckon their Class B High Performance Rear Wheel Drive Ford Falcon FG Typhoon F6 is a definite Armor All Bathurst 12 Hour outright contender on Sunday February 14 now that Andrew Miedecke has enlisted in the team as the third driver."

PAH Donating Members 361 Member For: 15y 11m 17d Gender: Male Posted 25/01/10 08:36 AM Share Posted 25/01/10 08:36 AM (edited) This is how bathurst used to be - good to see it comeing back to life.I couldn't agree more. The pre V8 Supercar October Bathurst races were a gem. They bred cars like the Phase 3 GTHO, the A9X and all of the other collectables.The racing was MUCH more interesting because we could see Production Cars (with a few mods admittedly) in action.The 12 Hr race jas been running for years now. Maybe they missed a couple of years. Remember the Mazda advert? Mazda 4 - Porsche 0. Mazda had a string of RX7 victories on the mountain. It's a shame that Production racing doesn't have a much higher profile. V8 Supercars is flogging a dead horse. Smaller engines with blowers are the future and for that reason, car racing ought to promote cars such as the XR6T and other cars that are more relevant to modern motoring. Large cars are copping a caning in the sales stats. I suspect that we'll see smaller cars with smaller capacity engines using blowers to make power. Lighter cars won't need as much power. When this happens, how relevant will V8 Supercars be? Of course, Production car racing will then let us see our street cars in action, one against another. V8 Supercar drivers - don't crap on about how nice your cars are to drive. Think about the bigger picture.PAH Edited 25/01/10 08:37 AM by PAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
