Meh. much better things on in the weekend than watching boat motor powered taxis racing around! There is the NAC NZ Drift Nationals on at Hampton Downs for some real exciting action and for decent racing with awesome cars theres the IRC Race series R1 and the NZ Superlap Series R2 happening at Manfield!

Ohhh but in saying that next year I may be interested in watching since they are letting at least one decent manufacturer in there being Nissan! and one that is almost as good being Mercedes lol

Never going to be as exciting and good to watch as it was in the 1985-92 sort of era but should make it a bit better than the last 20 years odd years finally!

True, I used to live for it then. Now I can take it or leave it, mostly I leave it and take the dogs for a walk somewhere.

I don't bother making a day of it anymore, cars all look the same and you can't tell who is who as every car (bar 1 or 2) are so covered with adverts you can't even see their numbers. God I miss those old all day Bathurst parties.

I wonder how suitable they would be in an endurance race.

I used to find the Ford Sierra's dominating bloody boring, then the GTR's. However watching those little BMW's fight with the much larger cars was always pretty cool.

I think we liked those years as the cars were not that far away from what you could actaully buy. These days you'd be lucky if the badge is even the same.

Hehee yeah for sure, have watched a bit of old Bathurst racing of late, you can pick out all the cars at a glance,nice big numbers on them too.

they would be as much use as a rotor there are races for other cars at bathurst but they don't get the interest that v8s do because they are boring

Not great fan of those cars but it would be cool to have them in the mix, chuck in some bmwers, a porche or two. The pace car could be a multipla and everyone would be happy lol.
