Yawn...
The facts are that ST was gifted the race, and since interest in ST was already waning globally, it was never going to last. ST itself, didn't kill the race. ARDC/Ch7 couldn't meet in the middle with AVESCO, so handballed the whole show over to a catagory that was already struggling to keep it's head above water. TOCA both here, and in the UK should be commended for putting on the show that they did on those two weekends, given the many elements working against them. |

which fact was wrong or distorted? maybe the drivers, i can accept i took some licence there. Still Brock was at both and a number of other drivers.
But the rest are not distortions. they are truths they are constantly put on here by those that do not recognise that the Supercars Bathurst 1000 as a continuation of the traditional Bathurst 1000 2 years, just one year shorter that the abrupt ending to the super touring world cup |

Just because a series lasted a few years longer than the last Bathurst event doesn't mean it wasn't waning before that.
You know that. You aren't stupid. A series can't be an abrupt failure if it lasted many seasons. If so then call F4 an abrupt failure now. Do it for Superutes because they've been delayed etc. I'm positive you aren't stupid but you keep repeating things that would make someone believe otherwise. You just want to argue for the sake of arguing. This is the reason the Conrod forum died. There was a poster on there that argued stupid things until everyone left. Same thing happening here. I'll pray for you and the forum but I don't like your posts because I feel all you are trying to achieve is an argument. |

Im agreeing with you there, But a poster made one comment as showing 2002 as evidence of strength and then come back a few posters latter and used its waning 5 years earlier as an excuse. that contradicts. All i did was point that out.

What's so funny Pecky? Your denial that your favourite series is at a serious crossroads?
I'm not for a second saying that Aus GT is in a better position because quite frankly they are also in a spot of bother. Sad facts for Australian Motorsport are that the 2 top series are currently in a state of decline. I'm only pointing out that Supercars acquiring GT3 rights is not a bad insurance policy for their current predicament. |

Many of the car purchases are packages that include spares and technical support from the factories in Europe. Lamborghini's recent approach with the Hurricane sales are an example of this. |

As shown above its easy to get car pricese with google (as shown above for example). And yes they do sell those thing you mentioned even as part of a package, for extra$.

GT3 engines are a bucket load cheaper and their service intervals are massive compared to Supercars.
I know someone who use to work at GRM and he said there were hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of parts that were designed, machined and thrown on the scrap heap because they didn't yield the performance gain they hoped. Again something not required on customer spec machinery |

Not sure how you come to that conclusion? What makes an engine fit for real motorsport? As far as I'm concerned, loud, fast and reliable. Can't see what component of that GT3 spec engines don't fit the bill.

65% of Supercar On The Market for $100m - CONFIRMED & STALLED
Thats not a very nice thing to say about the efforts of a number of Tenthers on here who have competed at state, national and international level in those cars. Poor form.

that was actually a pretty argumentative comment Peckster
You must not have watched the Nurburgring 24 hour or Bathurst 12 Hour. They were both real races. Peace to all |
