Surely that was a jump-start from JDub? Percat looked a bit suspicious too...

Whincup has ominous looking pace. The officials have confirmed that his start was legit

Wood did another thing. He hit Andrew Jones and he's out of the race '__'

Also, Morris went into the tyres and someone apparently hit a roo...

So , all hell has broken loose. The 6 has crashed at Griffiths Bend, and Dale Wood drove into the back of his teammate Bright under safety car.

And now we are under red flag for track repairs

Tracks repairs because Griffith's Bend is breaking up.

Man, this is a crazy race

RonDenisDeletraz · Post by **RonDenisDeletraz** » 12 Oct 2014, 03:32

And now Stevie J is in the fence. Meanwhile Whincup is a lap down because of crashing into Todd Kelly.

In unrelated news, Garth Tander is actually a pretty good interviewer.

Scott Pye has had a big crash now. What a crazy race.

Not everyone in the forums will be involved in this bet, you'll have to agree to take the bet on. To make it even more interesting, the avatars will be chosen by other participants in this bet.

EVERYONE GETS A PAUL MORRIS AVATAR!

Christ, Paul Morris is now a Bathurst 1000 winner. Oh lawd jesus help us :lol:

I had been out at my daughter's tennis tournament all day, and walked in the door and turned on the race just as the Lucas Dumbrell Commodore hit the wall and brought out the safety car, and then van Gisbergen broke down in the pits, and then ...

Even though I normally try to catch Bathurst I'have never been a big V8 Supercars fan (I lost interest in the ATCC around the early '90's) - but I could be a convert after seeing that finish today. Good stuff.

Oh, and just so everyone doesn't forget, since Morris won Bathurst, we've got these for 2 months.

Seeing as I access the interwebs solely by mobile these days I'll also need it resized.

The plot thickens.
And promptly thickens even further.

So basically, V8SC is trying to screw over LDM, and judging by the second article it's because the Archer want to buy the teams out of their shares. It's just a matter of time before it all collapses in on itself

Could somebody please make me a resized Morris avatar?

With all the avatars not working, I'm not sure it'd really matter at this stage; does this mean we can restart the challenge from when they start working again?

If Frosty is to be believed, the kek train is starting early at Surfers :roll:

Meanwhile, DJR are losing their title sponsorship at the end of the season. If this were a few years ago, this would be a devastating blow to the team. But it isn't, because Penske.

How to lose races, by Garry Rogers Motorsport

1. Put the co-driver in the car while everyone else has main drivers
2. Do so out of sequence so the main drivers are on fresh tyres
3. Get screwed by safety car 5 laps before he can get out

Can't be that difficult, can it? :/
