These are just awesome races, awesome cars. Bathurst is an amazing circuit. If only we has something like this is the States. You guys in Australia are very lucky.
I'm a Ford guy as well. How in the world did Ford AU allow Team Vodafone get away? That was a HUGE mistake! You don't let the best driver and team get away. What a plus for Holden.
"he's just being patient, Lowndes. But its enough to fill the mirrors of the number 1 car and that can be a bit uncomfortable" I always laugh everytime I hear that
fpr and djr have had some success but 888 is the championship and Bathurst winning team - Ford should be pouring money into that team - it also has the best drivers.
That's how you apply a constant blowtorch to someone's ass in motorsports. Each time he looks into his review mirror or glances into the side view mirrors you are there, all on his bumper waiting patiently for him to make a mistake so you can overtake.
@amnickable - GM is not billions in debt anymore, and Holden is in a much stronger position in Australia than Ford. I bet Ford wished they backed 888 now - they are dominating.
@amnickable - Six out of six for Holden. Not true about the profit - you can check the annual reports if you like. Anyway, I hope both manufacturers can survive but Ford will be lucky to be around in Australia in 5 years.
@gggggggggggggggggg16 No, Roland Dane is a traitor. Jamie and Craig signed a contract for several more years with the team, and then Dane signed the team off to Holden.
@gggggggggggggggggg16 And I know a guy that is good friends with Craig, and he isn't happy about it. He's always been a Ford guy, he just couldn't show it when he was with Holden.
ncmike213. It`s quite simple. Ford are dumb ! Always have been always will be ! The person that stopped sponsoring them from ford had no idea what he was doing. Any how the cars are the same Just different badges. They ( Vodafone )will win Bathurst 2010 They are the best team !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a huge story and that time copped a lot of flack. Good thing is Ford and now back in the sport as supporters and sponsors.
The MOUNT has to be the best track in the world!
And the 1000 is the best race in the world!
Loved when lowndes went to Ford such a talented driver like Ambrose an skaife
Bathurst is the best track ever =D
What about the note on that thing👌
And that's coming from a Holden guy
"he's just being patient, Lowndes. But its enough to fill the mirrors of the number 1 car and that can be a bit uncomfortable"
I always laugh everytime I hear that
Great Track, Why is it never in video games??
Come on Forza 4 put this track in!!
DTM Race Driver 2 and 3 have Bathurst, and V8 Supercars with all National and International Race Tracks.
fpr and djr have had some success but 888 is the championship and Bathurst winning team - Ford should be pouring money into that team - it also has the best drivers.
I think Holden must have offered something significant for 888 to change brands - time will tell.

best race ever
good work
