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

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.

Lowndes has got past Webb and the Giz is driving like a madman in 12th. This finish is going to be epic
Re: The Totally Ripper/Bonza V8 Supercar Thread.

I am really looking forward to seeing the last few laps
Re: The Totally Ripper/Bonza V8 Supercar Thread.

Reynolds is catching Courtney and Caruso's starting to get dropped.
Re: The Totally Ripper/Bonza V8 Supercar Thread.
Posted: 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.
Re: The Totally Ripper/Bonza V8 Supercar Thread.

Courtney's driven the tyre to smithereens.
Re: The Totally Ripper/Bonza V8 Supercar Thread.
Posted: 07 Oct 2012, 05:20
Oh no. Not the delamination...
Re: The Totally Ripper/Bonza V8 Supercar Thread.
Posted: 07 Oct 2012, 05:20
Courtney has tyre problems
Re: The Totally Ripper/Bonza V8 Supercar Thread.
Posted: 07 Oct 2012, 05:22
The longer Reynolds stays behind Courtney, the better off Whincup will be.
Re: The Totally Ripper/Bonza V8 Supercar Thread.
Posted: 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
Re: The Totally Ripper/Bonza V8 Supercar Thread.
Posted: 07 Oct 2012, 05:27
What a move 
Re: The Totally Ripper/Bonza V8 Supercar Thread.
Posted: 07 Oct 2012, 05:27
Once again
Re: The Totally Ripper/Bonza V8 Supercar Thread.
Posted: 07 Oct 2012, 05:28
Come on Reynolds!
Re: The Totally Ripper/Bonza V8 Supercar Thread.
Posted: 07 Oct 2012, 05:30
Courtney's still using the kerb at turn 2...
Re: The Totally Ripper/Bonza V8 Supercar Thread.
Posted: 07 Oct 2012, 05:34
I don't think car 22 will finish the race in one piece, Courtney's all over the place.
Re: The Totally Ripper/Bonza V8 Supercar Thread.
Posted: 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.
Re: The Totally Ripper/Bonza V8 Supercar Thread.
Posted: 07 Oct 2012, 05:43
Aaaaaaand Caruso's stuffed now.
Re: The Totally Ripper/Bonza V8 Supercar Thread.
Posted: 07 Oct 2012, 05:45
This is probably the first time in my whole life where I really want Whincup to win
Re: The Totally Ripper/Bonza V8 Supercar Thread.
Posted: 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!

Only Whincup can make such a close race dull *yawn*.
Oh well, F1 time now... Go Kobayashi!

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.

I almost had a heart attack, not even exaggerating

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

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
