spotters guide
alright then I'll go here
>>158135368>op is a pack of arseholes editonNice fuck that angry little irishman
>no race thread until 9 laps inshamefur dispray motor/sp/ort
>copy, mateYup it is definitely in 'stralia
>>158135509I was actually baking until this low effort went up
First time watching Bathurst 1000. If not for SVG, who are the good guys to root for? Are the yoders also cheated up like in /turnleft/?
>>15813550318 and 55 are the best liveries I think
Much better tracker than natsoft herehttps://bathurst-live.vercel.app/
>>158135503Castrol liver best livery.
>the race that stops a nation>dead thread
>>158135552From what I saw so far toyota seems pretty reverse of cheatingRivality traditionally is GM (Holden/Chevy) vs Ford
>>158135552chaz mostert is the people's champion, penrite with kai allen and matt payne are looking like the new top team, zach bates and cooper murray are amazing new talent but not consistent yetthe toyotas had some speed at some tracks but overall are not competitive, which is unfortunate for mostert fans since that's what he's driving
>>158135552The field has been a group of literally who's since SVG and Scotty left so just root for drama
>>158135552There isn't one any more. There used to be one when they still made cars in Australia and pretended to have some level of cultural identity.Now you got three options:1 Go for the brand you've always gone for due to tradition more than anything else2 Pick a driver you like and support them no matter what machine they're in3 Hope for a good race while you fry up the barbie and skull a beer.
>>158135567People really can vibecode everything nowadays huh3D map looks amazing
What do the green C indicators mean on the ticker.
>>158135722Reana: what do you attribute your dominance this season down to?SvG: Well Scotty fucked off to america for a startWe didn't know how good we had it.

CHIKO ROLL IS PITTING
>>158135652>>158135697>>158135722>>158135735Alright, at least those yoders aren't cheatin fucks here. I guess I go lightly with the chin of Coulthard and Mostert and with option three cause I am already six beers in this night. At least for as long as I can hold on tonight.
>muh power steering bunch of soft cocks drivers of my era raced without it
>>158135991cars of your era were half as powerful, half the weight, and half as fast through the corners
>>158136034damn right
>>158135991IndyCar still races without it
>>158136034Godzilla had 650+ horsepower
>comaro ITS CAMERO CAM CAM CAM
jeez he only JUST got that stand out in time
>>158136094era penal surely
what happened to aussie supercars they all look like american dogshit
>>158135342>2, 13, 1What the hell is his number?
goyota poopra
rolling for percat to fuck up his car and take no responsibility.
>>158136117american companies bought them all and shut down the factories, gm even literally killed the entire holden brand just so they wouldn't have to make another set of badges for their exports back to australia
>>158136117be thankful Supercars didn't become just another GT3 series like DTM did
>>158136152that sucks love the ford escort, focus RS style over these abominations.
>>158136149Imo it looks worse than it actually was. The car has enough height to not crush his arm, but if the driver peels out fast enough that can go bad real quick.
>>158136174per the category rules every car uses the same chassis, only the engine and body change between 'manufacturer' (there are no factory teams any more)
any differences between the cars or is it standard chassis and drivetrain all round
>>158136117The Australian car manufacturing industry is completely gone
>>158136152>american companies bought them allyeah, in 1931 (Holden). and Ford Australia was always American owned.
>>158136217vast majority of components are controlled ie supplied by the category itself, each brand uses its own engine but every engine for that brand is supplied by the same builder
>REDBULLWINSLOLfucking how
charge that man with attempted murder
angry dutto best dutto
>>158136117>>158136152They always were. GM bought Holden and Ford created an Australian branch for the same reason. Australia implemented protectionist policies specifically against imports. Not stopping foreign owners.Holden was a low number manufacture at the time but they owned the land they were on and it had room for GM to expand it.The reason neither company told that history is because it kind of ruins the cultural icon status they had for many years. Then it stopped being as profitable as they liked which is why they don't make shit here anymore.
They'll be running chinkshit badges in a decade.
>>158136431m8 the way they're running this category it'll be dead in five years, they keep trying to pretend it'll go big international but overseas motorsport is either rally or endurance, there is NO room for big circuit racing at sprint distances
anything happened yet?
based matty heeming those boomer shits
>>158136485moffat got punted and blew a tire and left chunks all over the circuit but otherwise a few slow power steering failures is all that's happened
>>158136121I heared DTM, p Super GT 500 were in plans to bring 1990s saloon car racing class back as counterpoint to GT3 dominance, but I have no idea how it is going at this point
>>158136579Germans reneged on the agreement and switched to GT3
Will Brown win the race?
>>158136618Will Brown is an actor m8.
>MFW still posting in the old General
Does BYD have a car in the race? Most aussies drive them now
>>158135516Many such cases.
>>158136611The news came last year or so a few years into GT3 era
>>158136474I always thought the Supercars should go over to America as a support category for a NASCAR race. Somewhere like Watkins Glen or one of the street circuits. Could even do driver swaps like they did with Indy at the Gold Coast.
>power steering fucked>tyres fucked kek
>>158135503No one goes the pure evil black look like they should.
>>158136649The average bogancars fan thinks electric cars are a scam
>>158136649I heared BYD was planning to get into F1 and the hybrid power changes were a way to bring Chinese manufacturers into the F1 championship Overall most Chinese brands don't like racing much
>>158135552Just pick the car with the coolest livery. For me, it's usually Pizza Hut, but I don't see that this year.
based Larko
reynolds and courtney mulching their rear tires, seems significant changes to rear camber are needed
>>158135503>>158135552Yeah, for me its 100% gonna be the Chicko car.
>>158136696Matt Paynes first Supercar race was at The Bend and he was driving a third car for Ford Tickford Racing. It was a plain matte black Mustang with no sponsors on it at all.
>>158136687It is like NASCAR or Indy going to Lausitzring or Motegi. It won't happen in the near future due to "costs".
>>158135869Kek
>>158136705Yeah I'm one of them. I was being sarcastic. These BYD cars will last 12 months then the owners will be left with a piece of shit and in debt
>>158136758Supercars raced at COTA the year they opened it.
>>158136758Idk if you heared anon but Honda just killed the leftovers of motegi ovalTurns 1 and 2 are grass stands for the road course
There is more action in an hour of Supercars racing than in an entire season of other series.
>>158136777And that was already 14 years ago.>>158136825Yeah I know that Motegi oval is kill, but I won't accept it.
>>158136772That's not cause they're electric, it's cause they're mass produced Chinesium.
>nepotism jones>thinkinglol
>>158136121>Mobile 1>Car Number 2>13th Place
>>158136649the fact that it's even legal to import that rolling spyware drone bullshit is mental to me, you just fucking know the ccp can remote control all of them any time they want
>>158136866It just sucks oval racing never caught up in Japan even if there had many tries even before motegiiThere even a dirt track that had to shut down beacuse riverbank issues
>>158136216They really jumped through their ass to make sure the engine power and body aerodynamics were equal and did a really good job. They might have to examine the Toyotas after a year of data, but the proof is in the racing otherwise.
Poor woody should have never taken the gazoo pill
>>158136976don't talk to ford fans about aero parity in recent seasons lol
>>158136949Yeah but why would a serious and powerful country of 1.3 billion people want to hurt a slave colony of 20 million when half our population is either aging and frail white boomers or Chinese youth or white aussies with Chinese girlfriends? That don't make sense b. During an interview our asio spy chief said it was "concerning" them went back to sucking mossad cock. Its over, buy a sailboat and look for a nice tropical island to retire on
QUARTER RACE DISTANCE FINISH YOUR VESSEL
>>158137067>look for a nice tropical island to retire onthey're after them too
>>158136474>keep trying to pretend it'll go big internationalMotherfucking FOX could easily air it over here but...>>158136687>support category for a NASCAR race>>158136758>costsit would moog the absolute shit out of NASCAR and I like NASCAR.
>>158137102>Motherfucking FOX could easily air it over here but...they don't want to air it, they want to run races there
Excellent jeet free analysis
LARKINO
>>158137067its because they're trying to turn australasia and the pacfic islands into their own personal food basket to feed their masses. the sooner they can rape and pillage all the remaining fish stocks without anyone stopping them the better it is for them.
>>158137083Get a Jeet girlfriend and watch anime
>M. JONESLMAO
going the wrong way mate lol
>>158137151How much does fresh fish cost in your country? Because I can't afford to eat it, fucken let em have it
macca jones just fucked everyone who stopped under green
>>158137196can't park there haha
LET THE SHITSHOW COMMENCE!
>ChaosExcellent
>when you're playing the old v8 supercars game with your mates back in the day, and you're too far behind so you turn around and start driving the opposite way to fuck everyone else up
>>158136753Even more based than a pure wite car
>>158137200billy basic snapper is $50/kg at the moment which is fucken insane. Doesn't help that I live super inland so have transport costs higher than the coastal towns. I've got a fishing license for trout and salmon at the rivers here but honestly I kinda suck at cleaning them.
>flirting over the radiohot
Did they explain what happened? Looked like only one of the front tyres was the cause of that spin
>>158137067They are "Communists" they want to control everything.
doing a truly heinous macca jones right now lads
>>158137323skill issue, put the car too far to the right, lost grip
>>158137347jamie whingecup-esque
LET'S GO LETHAL
>>158137323he was watching a live broadcast of the race in the car while he was driving, realised it was kinda boring so decided to do something about it
>use soft tires at bathurst>major blistering, everyone has to start driving to a lap timetime for a nap
>cam hill has a 100% finish rateYOU CAN'T SAY THATOH FUCK
TRACK BREAKING UP TRACK BREAKING UP THIS IS NOT A DRILL 2014 RACE CONFIRMED
>>158137479where?
>>158137151>>158137314>basic snapper is $50/kgGood lord...
>>158137502after the cutting through the quarry, where they resurfaced yesterday
pizza hut corner is in shambles...
>>158137629that's from 2014 bro
Pizza Hut Pan Pizza is fantastic. Do you guys have it down there?>>158137575
>>158137629Get the Bathurst council out there, the lazy cunts.
>>158137705Pizza Hut exists here but their base has the taste and texture of cardboard so I don't know what else they do.
>>158137705bro I literally haven't seen a single pizza hut anywhere in maybe ten yearsthen again I'm in victoria so we have actual family-run pizza places, most of them still run by italians
>>158137705They still exist in places but my local one closed down like 14 years ago.
>>158137705Pizza Hut is shithouse in NZ.
Who should I be wanting to win this?
>>158137867seton/bates
>>158137867If you wanna go for a talented young guy #10 has Bates (Co is Senton) is a 22yo with 6 years pro motorsport experience. Got pole on quali.That or pick one of the old fellas you like. Lowndes/Winterbottom/Mostert/Whincup/etc
>>158137705I had a good peperoni on grand final night, the first decent pizza I ever got from there, an hour late but somehow it was a good pizza, we fucked up dinner.
absent father thread
go back to gayfl cunt
>>158137867Up the Chicko!
>>158137739According to the robots,>Australian locations lean toward thinner crusts with generous, varied toppings – a preference that differs from the thicker pan style dominant in the US.>Yes — Pizza Hut Australia offers the Original Pan crust, which is the same thick, crispy-edged, fluffy-centered style as the US version. It's listed on their crusts page as their "Original Crust" option and is available with all pizzasWho knows if any of that is true. They butter the pan before they put the dough in it and it's a thicker crust with a crispy outside. It's pure junk food, but damn its good when you're in the mood for it. I literally got one a few years about because I saw them advertised in Supercars a few years ago.
>>158137749Based, and infinitely better.
>>158138029What's wrong, not enough sweaty men making lots of bodily contact?
>>158138038>Roll, roll, roll...
>>158138058That doesn't sound wrong. I don't think we prefer thin crusts overall. Most places offer it as an option but it's an option not the default. Though it could be that our normal crust is thin compared to you guys. I dunno how thick you guys do yours.I'd say the topping bit is the accurate part. Most Aussies prefer a local pizza place to chains. You always get more toppings at a local. Last time I went to Dominos (like a decade ago) they offered two toppings per pizza and charged a AU$1 per extra topping so I said fuck that and got fish & chips instead.
No One Out-Pizzas the Hut
>spooking the commentary team by using a cut-down rotor in your brake changebased
>>158138255haha lmao I get it
SETONVERSUSLOWNDES
>>158137629When i see stuff like this it makes me wonder how quick racecars would tear up a local road. We have a left hand turn down the road that for sure a sportscar could take at 80+mph. And that road is still in good condition with no holes or anything in it.
these camera shots are fucking cringe i bet it's a woman in charge of the producing
kek where's that guy going
What's wrong with the Toyotas?
I wish it was that easy to change the brakes on my car.
>>158138454they're slow
>>158135640Nah, the new globohomo font ruins it
>>158138289I bet the super sticky tires are extra hell on the asphalt.
work experience kid about to get reassigned to the parts factory in china lmao
>>158138500Yeah, but they keep hitting the wall and spinning out and over running the turns. >TFW the broadcast crew grasses you up in 4K
>>158138555they're trying too hard
>Bryce FullwoodA hard man is good to find.

Grove giving the manufacturer an absolute spray
>italian brake supplier sabotaging the great racewhy would they do this?
Kino mechanical video.
>>158138658>>158138671Assuming he's talking about Brembo?Their shit is overrated even on road cars, I never use them
>>158138648It is far and away my favorite Supra. It looks berries and the big navy V8 doesn't hurt.
>>158138674Yeah, that was nice.
PFC > AP Racing > chinesium dogshit >>>>>> Brembo
>>158138658>>158138671what'd he say, I was taking a piss
>>158138716I'm a fan of EBC, their Yellow Stuff is a good line
>>158138734gave the (((italian))) pad supplier an absolute spray. not sure they're brembo though as why would you run brembo pads in AP calipers.
If I were going to fly all the way to Australia which would be a better race to attend, theb12 hour or the 1000km? Do either have Improved Production as a support race?Keep in mind I would probably want to do other stuff if the time of year affects that.
>>158138738they used to be good a decade ago, quality has declined in recent years and by far the dustiest pad I've ever run in a road car. Red Stuff is a gr8 track day pad though.
>>158138763definitely the 1000, the 12 hour has a bunch of international snob teams
>>158138763The way things are going lately between the two, the Bathurst 12hr is the better race.
they should show the name of the real driver on the graphics even if it's the codriver currently in the car
and just like that we're on the second half
very boring race thus far
>>158138824>Working harder than a cat trying to bury a turd on a marble floor.
>>158138855I actually fell asleep for the 2024 one.Last years had some stuff going on but it's looking like that was the exception for this generation of cars.
if I was racing I would simply tell my brakes and tyres not to disintegrate.
>>158138855deploy the wildlife
>>158138883the problem is the soft tire, if they were on hards they could go flat out, but on softs they have to drive to a lap time or they run out of tire before they need to stop for fuel
kinda sad that I can't think of a single example of ANY sport which is more entertaining to watch now than it was 10-15 years agomotor racing is no exception to that
>>158138855Man, you guys have some high standards.
>>158138890
>>158138716IndyCar uses PFC
>>158138855Yeh it's been extremely dull but i think every one is just biding their time. The final 45-50 laps should be good with an all primary driver field.
>>158138890They murdered the duck family, you just know.
>>158138889that's Scott Dixon's super power
>>158138902NHRA drag racing is having its greatest and funniest season ever>top fuel cars hitting 347mph>owner of rival drag racing series sued by elon for a billion dollars
>>158138902ice hockey is better to watch (less goons now, more skill)IndyCar is better to watch (there were some dark times after the Split)sports car racing is easier to watch (better is debatable)
>>158135552Brodie. Raced with him as a teenager on iRacing when he lived stateside and was pursuing his Nascar dream. Top tier shitposter. There was audio of him making a kid cry in top split.

>>158138953That checks out. God I hate that he's at McLaren now.
I'm counting on these 2 to give us a safety car
THESE DRIVERS HATE EACH OTHER!!
>>158139063waters is genuinely unlikable, wears his caps with a flat brim
they're always carrying on about fuel, is it actually a big deal? do people ever fully run out and get stuck on the track? or are they just trying to make it interesting
Jesus christ this is boring as batshit
>>158139089I hope you're fucking joking>2014
anyone here at the race or know someone who's there? need someone to run out onto conrod or something, spice things up
>>158139089>do people ever fully run out and get stuck on the track?ask jamie whincupbut usually no it's just strategy, faster you go more fuel you use, fewer laps between stops
>>158139089there was a big race where a car ran out of fuel on the last lap and lost was a comaro or something
>>158139105kek
>>158139097In a Kangaroo and/or duck costume preferably
Who the fuck thought sof tiers were a good idea?
>>158139044I'm excited for it, I think Palou is massively overrated and Lundgaard is going to expose him next year. Easy to be the best driver when you're on the best team and your teammates are an old man and a paydriver who grew up on epstein island
>>158139130dunlop, because that means they can sell more of them
What's the deal with the sports whistle in the pits?
>>158139134pretty funny how so many companys are cucking the great race
>>158139145'look out you cunts there's a fucking car coming'
>>158139130It's an attempt at creating drama. They know what'll happen if they field softs in these conditions from the last few times they did this but they want the struggle.
>>158139132Yeah, but Zach Brown is such a fucking faggot.
penrite drivers not pushing people out challenge: IMPOSIBLE
not a sport

race is so boring i'm switching to coffee. will get back on the beers if things get interesting
Why aren't supras/camaros/mustangs as popular as falcons/commodores used to be?
who's this cunt with the big ipad
>>158139190I'll be okay with this desu
>>158139201gee I dunno, couldn't have anything to do with the complete destruction of the domestic car fabrication industry
>>158139201not aussie, and your average bruce can't afford one
>>158139214I agree with that, my xr6 turbo was 41k, I can't justify paying 80k+ for a replacement rwd sedan. I fucking hate suv's with a passion and will never drive one of those shitty tanks
that liqui moly mustang is so beautiful
Any safetycars so far? Will need one with 10-15 laps to go.
>>158139246of all the red/blue/white cars I prefer the repco one
I'm surprised that big chunk of rubber or whatever is still sitting there in the chase. You'd think somebody would have hit it by now.
>>158139260no and everyone's driving slow to save tires so don't expect one
Can't wait for this "sport" to die. It's not environmentally conscious at all.
Nice rear end desu.
Dare iced coffee Toyota supra corr
>>158139285the fuel is 85% bioethanol and the tires are all recycled, what's the problem?
