Additionally how did the 17 figures compare to 2016 and 2015? Interestingly - if you read the comments in the linked article you provided, there is a suggestion that V8SC removed comments from posters which didnt align to their narrative. When did V8SC try and become State Media? |

No idea re previous years and frankly don't really care too much, just posted the info when I saw it. VASC wouldn't be the first to moderate comments, I see plenty of complaints about that on Fairfax news sites for example. Personally not a fan of it but VASC is not Robinson Crusoe if they are in fact doing it. Posts removed may have been abusive, rude or incorrect, who knows? |

Crowd numbers
The crowd numbers they post don't seem to make sense or be believable! They say there was 205,700 over the 4 days, and 56,000 on Sunday. That means the average over the other three days was 49,900 per day. I don't believe it. The crowd looked few and far between on Thursday and Friday on TV. |

Thursday was also strong for crowds, certainly one of the strongest I have seen in 20+ years of going to the big hill.
As always, you just had to be there... |

Broken Valve Diagnosed on #88
Two 'warranty claims' on KRE this year, the #88 and the PHR #18 It's actually the second Bathurst in a row PHR has lost an engine in the race. That kind of thing just isn't expected now.. |

[QUOTE=GTRMagic;3772949]Another standout of the day for me was SdS... she was banging doors early in with the likes of Lowndes and co, and not being conservative and sitting back and waiting. If the engine was better, who knows what would happen /QUOTE]
Good call ! She didn't take a backward step even in the poxiest of conditions and was unlucky to finish her day that way : even so, the crowd gave her a generous round of applause as she jogged away from the car and although it's hard to know just how good or bad the car is, she has never once grumbled about it and just pressed on all season. I'm sure this time last year she was just The Chick In The Datsun to the hill dwellers but she has done enough to show she can pedal, for sure. Top effort, and a pretty fair job by Russell as well. |

A top 10 finish for the #78 would've been a huge result.
I reckon the fatigue was setting in for SDS, given it was such a rookie error. Same could be said for a lot of the maingame drivers yesterday. Hopefully SDS draws on the postives from her stints, and has the car further up the field more often in future. A 5 second year-on-year gain in lap speed should not be ignored. |

SdS had been passed by T.Kelly and was struggling to keep up down the straights... and had set a couple of her car's fastest laps of the day just before bending it.... |

Unless you read the comments prior to them being removed, you have no idea whether asking questions of the figures was the only thing posted or whether the post was somewhat rude or abusive. If you saw the post, good on you but otherwise you have zero idea on why it was deleted by VASC. The poster concerned has re-posted those numbers, this time without URLs, which is why the posts were removed by a moderator. Without the URLs, the posts have been left there.

Well Im back. Had a great weekend away, Its bathurst, hard not too.
Got away Thursday lunch time and back tonight, Its a long weekend. Caught up with Average Punter which was great, showed him the delights of the grandstand, although I must admit, Not as fun in the rain, Cant use umbrellas except for the back row (where we had built a lovely pergola from items sourced form the Supercheap Shop That was ripper pole lap from Scotty, no it wasnt Lap of the Gods, But its the next best thing we have and was a joy to watch and be part of (we got on TV too ) Much respect for it from fans and team. great story for re-telling in the future. Loved rewatching it at the pub that evening, couldnt help think of wise counsel from Harry Hogge - Loose is fast and on the edge of out of control. Scotty certainly was committed. Shame the race was so wet. Probably took a bit from it with so much wet running and so slow as a result, But strategy was interesting. DJR 12 with the early pit which messed with their placement all day, Came back at the right time of the day though Ritchie Stanaway. Said it after Sandown, will say it again, where not when. Jackobson, also impressive, hope he gets a drive soon. The little team that could. Erebus, coped a lot of bagging over the years (much of it on this forum) but they stood tall and drove great races, It was no fluke, there all day, fast in practise and qualifying. Championship is certainly open, Good thing, Bring on the Gold Coast What a great crowd, especially on such a wet day, But all weekend already have next years ticket |

Hard to measure last year to this straight up, largely due to the late/different finish. From what I can roughly read, Ten's figures for the race are down a over 100K, but Fox seem to be up a little over 100K for the race. If I've read the program coding correctly. It does reflect the general slower adoption of Foxtel for Supercar fans. But the audience has moved there. |

Yep another ripper Great Race.
Big congrats to David, Luke and Erebus, Huge effort and happy to see them win (still a shame he never took the win in 2012!) Lowlights include Frostys DNF on Lap 160, Simona's mistake not long before Frostys and of course Scottys bad luck after a mega impressive lead up. |

What a weekend,
But one big downer: Tim Slade: Tim was serverly sick, he shouldn't have been allowed to continue in the state he was in. But under Supercars rules, a driver must complete x laps and not exceed a driving time. Supercars waffle safety for all competitors, public, employee's and volunteers;Yet they did not step in and say ,hey get him out of the car, this is dangerous. What did they want, a major incident. Who is the medical chief , scared to overide Tim (I am a demigod )schenken. TO hell with safety when it makes good tv and bums on seats. So much for "duty of care in a workplace" |
