But he's passed Reynolds! And Caruso's coming too. This will be brilliant!

Caruso's cured the understeer in this car. Dis gon' be gud. :mrgreen:

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Lowndes catching the lot of them at a vast rate of knots?

He's still got to pass Webb and then gain 7 or so seconds.

But if there is a safety car then it is possible

Which also lets Whincup off the hook in terms of fuel. However, that Vodafone car has been absolute crap on the first two laps of a restart all afternoon.

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:16

Lowndes has got past Webb and the Giz is driving like a madman in 12th. This finish is going to be epic :mrgreen:

RonDenisDeletraz · Post by **RonDenisDeletraz** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:17

I am really looking forward to seeing the last few laps

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:19

Reynolds is catching Courtney and Caruso's starting to get dropped.

the Masked Lapwing · Post by **the Masked Lapwing** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:19

Caruso is absolute lighting over the top of the mountain. He just has nothing on the way up or the way down.

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:20

Courtney's driven the tyre to smithereens.

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:20

Oh no. Not the delamination...

RonDenisDeletraz · Post by **RonDenisDeletraz** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:20

Courtney has tyre problems

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:22

The longer Reynolds stays behind Courtney, the better off Whincup will be.

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:25

Credit where it's due to Whincup because just about anyone else in that situation would have simply bolted up the road by now

the Masked Lapwing · Post by **the Masked Lapwing** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:27

What a move :shock:

RonDenisDeletraz · Post by **RonDenisDeletraz** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:27

Once again

MinardiFan95 · Post by **MinardiFan95** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:28

Come on Reynolds!

the Masked Lapwing · Post by **the Masked Lapwing** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:30

Courtney's still using the kerb at turn 2...

MinardiFan95 · Post by **MinardiFan95** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:34

I don't think car 22 will finish the race in one piece, Courtney's all over the place.

the Masked Lapwing · Post by **the Masked Lapwing** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:35

Caruso won't pass Courtney anywhere other than the Elbow, and he's too wide through the Esses to do it.

the Masked Lapwing · Post by **the Masked Lapwing** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:43

Aaaaaaand Caruso's stuffed now.

RonDenisDeletraz · Post by **RonDenisDeletraz** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:45

This is probably the first time in my whole life where I really want Whincup to win

MinardiFan95 · Post by **MinardiFan95** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:46

I'll just guess that the slow traffic is car #23

Ooooh, possible splash and dash for car #1... I LIKE!

MinardiFan95 · Post by **MinardiFan95** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:52

Only Whincup can make such a close race dull *yawn*.

Oh well, F1 time now... Go Kobayashi!

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:53

It's not the team I wanted but HOLDEN WINS THE BATHURST 1000! Thank you and goodnight!

@MinardiFan95 It's only dull because the blue oval couldn't pull it off as per usual

Well, I s'pose Whincup did well. But seriously, Paul Dumbrell is the least deserving driver to win Bathurst ever.

RonDenisDeletraz · Post by **RonDenisDeletraz** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:57

I almost had a heart attack, not even exaggerating

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 07 Oct 2012, 05:58

Also, MinardiFan95, don't forget, we have an avatar bet. Frosty is 181 points off the championship lead now...

What about the guy who did a total of one lap in the race winning car in the late 60's/early 70's... nope, still more deserving than Dumbrell

And anyone who is slightly neutral in terms of being a V8 Supercars fan has to be sorry for Ford... in some supporter's eyes they haven't won a Bathurst 1000 since 1998

Dammit... I forgot about that. I might as well prepare for a month of embarrassment already. Just be thankful that Ford failed in their team funding and Holden therefore bought out their most successful team.

Barry Mulholland is the name you're looking for.

What was the avatar bet anyway.

5 races, 5 laps, 4 podiums. Now THAT is the textbook definition of a lazy bastard :lol:

The only reason he drove at all was because the rules said McPhee had to share it. He was out of a drive as soon as it was changed :lol:
