    I’ve watched every Bathurst since I was 6 years old. I never ever missed a start, I never left the tv all day. It was riveting for decades. I was engaged and had a real connection to the cars, the brands and the whole industry. I’ve owned a John Goss special coupe, falcon GT’s, Holden monaros and Gemini coupes. I love cars. It Saddens me to say that for the last several years my interest is barely there. This year for whatever reason I forgot it was in today. Watching this high lite reel I thought there must be something else surely? What has happened ato this race and this whole series? We need a Kerry Packer type cricket movement and start again. Use real cars, ones you can buy. Bring back life into this now clinical race. What on earth had happened. I like progress, I love cars, old new and even electric. I’m no dinosaur, embrace change and new things but wow, this isn’t good sorry. Very sad.

    i hope supercars rethinks these gen 3 cars. the greatest era of v8 supercars was during the early to mid 2000s. the cars had less mechanical grip, seemed looser & more unstable, required a lot more work to steer around plus finesse on power down, the added complexity of a h-pattern gearbox allowed for more frequent mistakes, plus the engines had a meaner sound, all these things made just watching the cars go around a spectacle, let alone the drama created by having these more “dynamic” to drive cars.

      i am all for safety improvements, a lot of that is coming from updates to the track barriers, concrete runoff areas etc, and the structural engineering of the cars themselves, but im sure these don’t need to be compromised to go back to cars that drive somewhat similar to what they used to in the past. and yeah it was funny to hear niel and skaifey start yelling with excitement of the most mundane events, usually it works, this time it felt too artificial.

      the last two years have been rough, last year because they were all driving at 30% so the tyres didn’t degrade, and this year was just a rough watch, expected an incident filled race given how practice was filled with carnage and we got the opposite. Says to me that maybe we could cut one or 2 practice sessions at this weekend. Everyone had their cars figured out by race day.

      Eh. Aussie touring cars died about when the scene split into two Bathurst 1000s in 1997, and was likely mortally wounded when Group A died and nothing fit for purpose replaced it. It just became obvious how deep the rot went when the Volvos, Mercs, and Nissans went away.
      Without Holden v. Ford, Supercars has no point, and thus no appeal. That's not proof they need to "bring back Holden", but it's definitive proof that this entire series - from the origins of Group 3A through the turn of the millennium to modernity - was built on extremely shoddy foundations that are beginning to make their presence VERY clear.

      @@mitchell-wallisforce7859 I don't think its that complex of an issue at all, and saying it died in 1997 is crazy given that the 20 years that followed are seen by most as the peak of Aussie touring car racing. Yeh it was nicer when the cars were actual Australian cars but the main issue with the racing now is that the cars have more grip then they did 10 years ago and the it has made the racing very predicable.

      ​@@jimmypownall4409 You're absolutely correct: those few decades of Ford v. Holden worked out _very_ well for Supercars.
      But I stand by my take for one reason: the lack of field variety in Supercars - which was the case from '97 right up to 2014, when Ford and Holden were the only ones present - meant it only took the death of one brand to almost turn Supercars into a completely spec series or kill it entirely. Pandering solely to tribal warfare came at a huge cost: armor.
      V8 Supercars from 1997 to 2019 was a bit like the "Roaring 1920's" in the US: a false utopia whose shoddy foundations bore _severe_ consequences later.

      @@tonyw4863 GT3’s are about $1.2-$1-5 Million, thats with a spare engine and other parts that you’ll replace over the weekend. Problem being that they replace them constantly and cant repair them, like the floor of the car and diffuser, they have them slammed to the ground to generate downforce but the downside is they’re getting destroyed every race, so they have to replace it more often. Supercars body work gets torn up a bit but they’re more often than not able to repair it and re apply vinyl to make it look brand new. GT3 Bodywork you cant do that with. Current Supercars are as you said around 500k and engine maintenance costs for the year are around $250k. I’ll go back to what Roland Dane said; “If Supercars did GT3, most teams would be bankrupt by Round 6.”

      Re: importation costs, perhaps Multimatic could come to a licensing agreement with Tickford and DJR to allow some parts of the GT3 Mustang to be made locally for local use?

Little drama, clean racing, but still an incredible race to watch. Yeah might have been boring but for only 1 driver really making a race stopping mistake the entire race, that's incredible.
