do you guys get "the race"( Bathurst 1000 km ) on any station over there ? anyone watching it tomorrow ?

 

[PlagueOfBadgers]

I don't, looks like a good race to watch.

Don't think it's screened in UK either but only yesterday, I was sat watching YouTube and Peter Brock blasting past all before him!! Love those early 70's Aussie muscle monsters!!

he was robbed I tell you

Twice in a row.

first across the line and penalised into 11th for a little argy bargy what a jip , its as bad as banning shoulder charges from footy

 

[MarPar]

so do any of these blokes actually race?? or is it just a crash-fest??

there are no times list for this programme in my area

 

[polywideblock]

the guy that got ripped off (Jamie whincup see second video setting lap record) lead the race from start to finish 1000km's
think of it as like "stock cars " but they turn right as well as left

 

[polywideblock]

this is the "bump" that he was penalised 15 seconds for, whincup is in the redbull car

 

[Budnicks]

Thanks I didn't get to see it, not sure if it was even televised here anyway
it's a hit & miss on those races for air times here, usually fun to watch
usually a wreck fest from the ones I've seen too
like full size carnival bumper cars, testosterone driven Red-Eye Rage...

Give em' a fender & spin em' out, force the line bad or not...

kind of like the US Trans Am series,
I haven't seen them televised here lately either...

We get the BBC channel and there's always a summary or two of these races in the weekends
