You know what you Aussie's?? I'm an American and have faithfully followed your V8 Supercar series going on 15 years now. Still my most favorite 4 wheel series on the planet! Gawd I love me some Supercars! You should be proud proud , and support it every chance you get.
Today was my father's funeral. He took me to my first Bathurst race when I was 12 years old and it gave me a love for motor racing I've had for my whole life since. He loved the Supercars, I know you were up there watching this weekend Dad. Rest in peace old boy.
I’m a Ford guy and you have to understand that some teams just get it right, 888 don’t always get it right but they get it right the most, the only way a Ford team is going to win is by doing a better job which they have done a fair few times this year, Sandown has always been a 888 hunting ground for whatever reason they just click with the track and that’s it.
@@ashdog236 well said. Mostert would have been a contender if they didn’t spin and Waters didn’t have pace on long runs. The only other car with genuine pace was the #1
@@Mabeanie do you mean the FCY procedure? This allows marshalls to get on track sooner to clear hazards and means when team mates are behind one another the guy behind doesn't get stitched up with a double stack.

@@Alex-tu9bh So what your basically saying kill all catergories besides supercars which kills supercars in the end as there wouldn't be enough entertainment at the track the reason they run ads is so they can get debris of track if they need to and also entertain the crowd that is at the curcuit on top of all that cut races all the time I reckon if we had the older style safety cars and made sure they got rid of lucky dog rules aswell so that way saftey cars are short and sweet and it won't go time certain on the race
That's a good point. The purchase price might be lower, but you've got to think about the upkeep. Tires, insurance, repairs-those costs can add up fast. I wouldn't want to dive in without being fully prepared.
The Safety Car Procedure needs to be talked about for me. I fully understand that it allows for the clean up for marshalls to be a lot safer and more efficient. But, it took away a lot of racing for me. Red bulls were able to dominate in a very easy fashion and it will allow for them or whoever the dominate team is at Bathurst as well. I do like the thinking but I would prefer for us to take on a VSC type F1 yellow flag precaution (I do believe it was used after the 4th caution maybe) so there is a little bit more gambling as it will still allow for others who dont pit to take track position and not just forced back into the grips of the fresh tyre. The other yellow flag procedure I believe should be bringing back our old safety car where the leader will follow the saftey car as soon as passing or exiting the pit lane and all that follow will orderly get to the back of that line in the safest and most efficient manner possible. My example deriving from this would be Matt Payne pitting after the final saftey car taking the gamble for fresh tyres and dropping a couple places but we ran around for 3 laps @ 80km/h and that gamble led to nothing as others were also allowed to pitt for no loss. This didn't provide for more exciting racing but the most boring final 10 laps of an enduro in my recent memory (after a late yellow of that fashion). Enduro racing also allows for early mistakes to be rectified through sheer grit and good strategy but it was next to impossible for guys like Kostecki, Mostert and Heimgartner who all faced adversity in the first half of the race. Being unable to munipulate saftey cars they were pinned to the back and unable to fight back for those glorious tales of the comeback we V8 and motorsport fans in general love. Now this should take nothing away from the Red Bull guys, that was dominance and Will Brown, you are class but to Supercars I hope you can agree with me in reinstating our old safety car system while adapting the VSC yellow into it. To anyone reading I would love to hear what you guys have to say. Bring On bathurst!!
couple of things to note: 1. that safety car procedure is gheyer than molly meldrum. 2. fox sports: "will brown is doing a burnout, lets show the in-car footage and podium parking section 500 yards away."
@bigman4225 mate. it sucked. its like when f1 dropped refeulling and nascar brought in stages. its completely diluting the sport and removing a competitive aspect. before it was like "did you pit in time? no? well now youre 15th, have fun". now its like "dont go too fast, we gotta give that other guy a chance to pit too, otherwise thats unfair".
@@LegalFiction-st7db It's nothing to do with strategy. It's for safety. You can get a recovery vehicle on the track 15 seconds after the SC/FCY is called. Before that you had to wait until the field was up the SC's arse.
@bigman4225 so reverse the order of the sequence. close pit lane until the wreck is cleared (let them trundle around at 80), then bunch the field, open pit lane, and let the teams have at it like they always have. i swear me and you could run this show better than the current mob. 😂
With all the chevs in the top places, at least we won't have to worry about 'parity' changes to the Fords until the next time they find themselves on the podium.
The purpose of the co-driver is two fold, one, they give the main driver the opportunity to rest during the endurance races, and two, they allow for lots of fun wildcard entries who we wouldn’t normally see, like retired champions or rookies
@@Billiamiscoolyet in NASCAR, every race is longer than every Supercar race except Bathurst 1000. Bathurst 1000 and Coca-Cola 600 are about the same length. So longest race in each series is about the same distance. NASCAR doesn't have co-drivers but for some reason, Supercars do. Never made sense to me. Enduro should show which single driver can handle it and not a pair of drivers. May not be a popular opinion but it's how I feel about it.
@@Schizz_Popinov Well the basics of is that in a v8 supercars you have more load going through the body from all the bumps g forces constanlty fluxerating from high to low and the cockpit of the car is almost sealed so it's hotter and then the factor of constatly turning left right now I am not saying nascar is easy by and stretch but if you sat in a sauna for say 2 hours holding a 2kg dumbell in each hand you turn left right for those 2 hours your gonna be working out both arms more then doing the left hand turns over the same time period
@@thatsimracer666 NASCAR drivers race in nearly sealed up cockpit in +50C temps. Many tracks running excess of 300kph for 3 to 4 hours at a time, more at Coca-Cola 600 which is around 5 hours or more. They also run 36 championship races and 2 exhibition races. They also have more road courses on schedule now but the g forces in speedway is high in the corners due to the high speed. The wrecks tend to be more brutal also. Better with new car but it was designed with help from Supercars and is similar in construction.
You won’t see ford on podiums for the next year or two as chev just had so called parity adjustment so it’s back to rookies in 888 cars winning everything again, I wonder how much that cheque was for, joke this 888 Supercars where the best driver doesn’t matter if they are in a ford they won’t have the ability to keep up with first time rookies. Ford needs to walk out and concentrate overseas away from Aussie corruption
@@DeanMehrtenswhat about back in the early 2000s the Scambrose/SBR show, what would you call that?? Or 2012-2015 with the pro drive Pepsi Max cars?? Oh, I spose that’s ok. Because their fords right…? Have a cry mate 😢🤧

I've always dreamed of owning a supercar, but I figured they were way out of my league
Yeah, l'm curious too. I've always wanted a Lamborghini, but the price tags are usually insane.
Well, l've seen some Ferraris from the early 2010s going for under $100K, and McLaren 570S models dipping into the $80K range.
If you shop around, you can find some real bargains, especially with people trying to offload them for the latest models.
That's a good point. The purchase price might be lower, but you've got to think about the upkeep.
Tires, insurance, repairs-those costs can add up fast. I wouldn't want to dive in without being fully prepared.
Exactly. I've been looking at getting a used Porsche, but I'm holding off until I have a clearer picture of the total cost.
