SVG/Premat is a dark horse.
Also pretty keen to see how the Supergirls do this year, Simona did some VERY respectable laps in that car last year, under the radar. She's a pukka pedaller regardless of her gender. |

Hopefully she can pedal Mr Winterbottom's current car and not the much-crashed #111...

I'd say SVG/Premat as one of the favourites more so than a dark horse.

I'm stoked to see Matt Campbell get a gig. Very talented driver, good head on his shoulders and a great attitude too.

Really? He had no problem winning the last long distance Bathurst race.

12hr?
I'd say that yes Bathurst 1000 is the harder race but he's got runs on the board. Just my opinion of course ;-) |

offset by being more difficult to pass because of less speed differential and not having a car that has a benefit like he did at the 12 hour

Which is offset by having to deal with the traffic that multi-class endurance races contain. Really, what a non-nonsensical, poor attempt at belittling the efforts of teams and drivers in the 12 hour.

Remember it has been more than 10 years, has it not, that any teams other than Triple 8, HRT or PRA have won Bathurst.
The lack of diversity of winning teams in this current era has never been matched throughout the history of The Great Race. |

you are right when you limit it to team, I reckon when one guy wins it 6 times in 7 years that might show a lack of diversity though Holden winning 7 years in a row that showed a lack of diversity also If i had a choice between putting $1000 on one car this year and putting it on 1 car in 1984 ! and everyone else would have choosen 84, where as this year by your calc its on 1 car out of 7 (or 8 if you count waters) Last edited by peckstar; 29 Apr 2016 at 12:08. |

I am sure that as we get closer to the endurance races people will suggest that teams like BJR, Tekno or GRM have a good chance at winning but recent years have shown the the big three teams have a virtual lockout when it comes to success on the big stage. |

Does this clown have anyone check his work before publishing it?

I'd expect this from someone who doesn't follow the sport but from an 'insider' like Phelps that type of inaccuracy is inexcusable. He's a hack. |

The Enforcer joins Nissan Motorsport
Wow Rusty at Nissan, somewhat surprising, although less suprising after the test day |

The downside is it won't get them any closer to winning. |

In fairness Phelps probably didn't write the headline or physically type/publish the article on the website but it is still a shocking error by News Limited. Do they have proof readers?
