donR Posted 3February, 2019 Report Share Posted 3February, 2019 That last passing move past the Aston was very impressive and I don't think any of the other cars would have fit through the gap! I think the Porsche had the best tires by that stage but fifth on pole so was certainly in for a potential win. Is it a new car for 2019? Any revisions? Certainly was very competitive.

Raven Posted 3February, 2019 Report Share Posted 3February, 2019 The kid is a very impressive driver and I now Mark Webber highly rates him also ,,,,I dont think there will be any repercussions from the incident with Chazz in the BMW it looks to me on the slow mo replay that Mostert had braked late and missed the apex opening him self up for the under take from Campbell ..Both cars did touch twice as Mostert tried to cover the line but Campbell was well along side and committed at that point .. I would think it will go down as just a racing incident ,,but I must admit I wish that the cars made no contact at all ,,it is a grey area and I can see both sides to the dispute ...If any thing was going to be done it should have been done directly after the incident ... .

SC 3.2 Posted 3February, 2019 Report Share Posted 3February, 2019 He was obviously the fastest car during the last stint so I would think the officials will take that into consideration.The decision to fit new tyres was the race decider.

LeeM Posted 4February, 2019 Report Share Posted 4February, 2019 Both were epic passes at times it was crucial for him to get past. Once he passed Mostert, it was obvious he had much more speed and grip than the Aston (a late tyre change helped there) as he had a near 3 second deficit yet caught him within 2 laps. Epic, epic drive and a big result for Earl Bamber and the team Raven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That series has become a farce in my opinion. They don't build Commodores and Falcons here anymore, and the Mustang they have made fit the COTF chassis looks like they bolted on a roof from a bubble car! The sooner the Australian motorsport honchos accept that GT racing is global and the future, the better. It will attract international teams and constructors into Australia, yet the die hard Holden v Ford fans refuse to accept it IS the best series going. I've read on the Supercar page that a lot of people are switching to GT's, and yesterdays 12 hour really opened some eyes at how good it is.

Watched the last hour & half yesterday with my 22yo son & we were so fired up, yelling at the TV & on the edge of the lounge. Was an epic finish. He then turned to me & said bugger The Adelaide 500, we’ve got to go to this race next year. No arguments from me 👍 (& this is from a kid who’s been dragged by me to every Clipsal 500 since he was 4 years old!!). I ‘ve loved the V8 supercars for many years, but with the world moving on, I reckon that category is dead in the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted 4February, 2019 Report Share Posted 4February, 2019 100 % agree Lee ....Just to add on that the ZB commodore will be run by the majority of teams this year ,,,,the car is essentially last years car with the ZB face lift and they are all running the SB 2 Chev Motorsport 5.0 V8 ,,,,not the the V6 TT power plant that was developed for the ZB commodore race cars .. Mustangs and Camaro,s can currently compete in GT4 category ,you can buy these cars turn key in the U.S ready to race to the FIA regs ,we saw Mustangs compete yesterday ,,Adopt the GT format and let those who want to race V8,s compete in the GT4 class ..

Stop flogging a dead horse and dump the current Supercar format Couldn’t agree more Lee, Bathurst used to be a great day and growing up watching production based cars (and even some with actual number plates still on them) running in multiple classes all having races within races was fantastic... This is why I enjoy the GT class now, different manufacturers, different engines and configurations and multiple classes for manufactures to have a chance to compete in with their cars. So much more interesting than some fabricated body panels wrapped over basically the same mechanical package and more like what made the old racing so much better Raven, SC 3.2 and LeeM 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
