Veggie [iV8SC14R30] SuperCheap Auto Bathurst 1000, 9-12 Oct (POLL CLOSED)



Its here.

The race some people wait the whole year for.

Where its time for the regular fleet of 25 V8Supercars, and hopefully all 3 of their one-off companions, join to take a spin on this hallowed asphalt, to achieve their vision of success.

Did Sandown teach us anything?

That the top 4 cars seem to all be Holdens, with prodigious power or outstanding balance, seeing off everyone else is one view.

It shows too that strategy wins motor races, be it driver selection, tyre choice, pitstop work choice, usage of rubber during the rest of the weekend. Or how to tune the car on the run when the pilots arent happy and are looking for an adjustment

So many small things that the teams have control over. The 1%-ers that seem to make 888 look like amazingly perfect people, and some others not that way.

Who will be King of The Mountain this year?

Atm its a 5 car race, T888,HRT & Teckno. Big distance to the next wave of cars.

I reckon a BJR car will also get in the mix with some clever strategy and a bit of luck.

Did anybody else get the impression from Sandown that the HRT cars have really got some stonk?

Whincup (and Dumbrell) seemed to have pace in hand and really looked after the car and tyres, but nobody seemed to get close to the HRT cars in a straight line.

Team lineup at HRT also seems pretty strong, Murph and JC and Tander/Luff have to be strong chances.

I thought Lowndes/Richards was a bit disappointing.

FPR keep managing to find guys who just can't quite put it together. Steve Owen looked tired at the end of that stint when he stuck the left rear off the track?

BJR always run well a Bathurst. Wouldn't be surprised again this year if they run towards the top of the timesheets.

As much as I would love him to go back to back, FPR just have no speed or answer to both T888 & HRT atm

Any odds on McLaughlin for pole? The Volvo should be fast around Bathurst. Unproven over the race distance however and they can't match the driver line ups of the 888, HRT and Winterbottom/Owen combinations.
Still I think that the Volvo is a strong tip for pole, and the Whincup/Dumbrell combination will be very hard to beat in the race.

Both GRM Holden-skinned chassis were quick there last year.

The Volvo-skinned cars are reportedly somewhat of an evolution, on top of the well-known slippery aero and straightline speed.

I'd put money on a #33 pole.

2 Seater F1 Minardi To Rock The Mountain

... with Will Davison at the controls

And Zsolt Baumgartner...

How nice will the sound of that car be with its big thumping normally aspirated engine... Woowee!!

Wonder how Mr Beretta will fit in the rear? Surely his helmet will block the airbox?

Australia's Will Davison did get a Minardi test did he not?

Also Ludo says Bathurst records will tumble due to resurfacing and more refined suspension and aero:

Quote:
“We will get every time the six (2min06sec race lap time) easy,” he predicted.

The rev limiter issue raised its head at Sandown, where cars spent two seconds “hitting the wall” on the back straight because of better drive off fresh tarmac out of turn four and improved team understanding of the aerodynamics and rear-end stability of the New Generation V8 Supercars, which are now in their second year.
2.06 in the race? That's fast... What are we used to 2.10?

http://www.v8supercars.com.au/news/c...-be-shattered/

Wonder how hard the cars are going to get into the limiter on conrod and whether that is a longevity concern. They were hard into it at Sandown.
