[iV8SC13R29] SuperCheap Auto Bathurst 1000 (WITH POLL) - 10-13 Oct - Page 2

Muznik · 20 Sep 2013, 03:49 (Ref:3306436)

I might put some loose change "each way' on cars 14 & 33.

I reckon they could upset a few bigger names.

T-star · 20 Sep 2013, 05:05 (Ref:3306446)

Seems like a longshot...

Surely Skaife can't be fit enough?
Would Roland take Pye of LDM's hands?
Maybe Heimgardner will get himself on the grid??

Or does Stoner deadset want to do Bathurst???

All seems too hard to me.

GOT a prediction FPR to pull the trigger on the shotgun again into both feet and maybe the mouth as well.

Skaife is certainly an ambitious bloke! Be interesting to see if he has found himself a serious co-driver or just having fun!?!?

I don't think there is a cutoff... It's totally at the discretion of VESA. Remember when Ambrose came close to doing the Sydney race a few years ago?

There are some interesting markets there on first Nissan home.. all seem to be paying over $3 a car for a $1 investment...

its interesting that the 12 ranked higher than the 18 in the Ford betting. Surely Charlie must be disappointed in this (from memory couldnt he have had Chaz)

Yes he could of, but the immediate sponsor dollars looked more attractive to Charlie than the talent of Chaz, which will have the sponsors knocking

**GTRMagic** · 27 Sep 2013, 10:29 (Ref:3309971)

A slightly different livery for FPR for Bathurst...

**GTRMagic** · 29 Sep 2013, 01:36 (Ref:3310563)

And the magic number is.....

7

Story Here

**GTRMagic** · 1 Oct 2013, 11:15 (Ref:3311397)

Seems like #17 and #12 are swapping car numbers too...

The Green's Tuf livery was the '83 car.. the one that went into the trees... lets hope 30 years later, it has different luck!

On eBay right now is this gem...

one five five · 1 Oct 2013, 11:23 (Ref:3311402)

Perhaps i'm missing the point, but would switching the drivers of #12 to the #17 possibly have an effect on REC income (particularly as different entities own the respective RECs)?

REC income for 2013 is a huge zero... so it wont make a difference this year....

But it might help determine where the REC ends up in the 2014 pit lane selection, based on REC points at season's end...

The story goes that the car in question is to be liveried similarly but not quite the same as the #10 entry, and that pilots may or may not have been secured to steer.

Surely they couldnt run 2x 888 cars from Skaife Racing and Team Ludo at the bottom end of pitlane?

or could they ??

Presuming any of this actually happened

It exists... It got tested... Story Here

Its almost like Woomeragate all over again, if you believe the story..

.. Except.. This is the 2nd chassis, the original V8SC test mule, stickered in Xbox colours for the Top Gear guys to play with.. The story about this being the 888-built VF isnt quite right... with MSR apparently running the car for Top Gear for the test...

Presuming any of this actually happened

Belly13 · 1 Oct 2013, 16:16 (Ref:3311534)

So is a second wildcard entry going to turn up at Bathurst?

It would be interesting to see a May/Clarkson/Hammond entry...

but it seems unlikely...

Skaife doesn't have fun. Everything is 100% focus and intensity. That's part of the reason he's been so successful at driving.

Chaz is a much better driver, but he'll be a Bathurst 1000 rookie. In this instance I reckon Alex is probably a safer bet with several years experience, which we all know counts more at Bathurst than anywhere else.

In 2 years time though - Chaz all the way.

fomoco · 2 Oct 2013, 03:43 (Ref:3311738)

Interesting discusion the other day, my mate says, why dont they have the top ten Dev Series cars added to the 1000. Fair comment, some of the Dev series guys could probably do well, but I dont know how the last years cars would go gainst the COFT. Has anyone compared the data.?

I wouldn't mind seeing the top five cars be given a crack at the main event.

Just some interesting chat at lunch

First problem with that is that the bulk of the top 10 in the Dev series have drives with main-game teams anyway.
