Admin Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Well, as usual every year at this time the good old Ford vs Holden debate sparkles up with what happens at the great Bathurst 1000 car race...this year being the 50th. So, who is going to win?
dazza 38 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 It will be good next year IMO when Nissan and the other car manufacturer joins. I know alot of die hards would like it the stay just Ford and Holden. But with the ever increasing costs involved in this type of motorsport.Other manufacturers will help with sponsorship etc. PS- look out holden/ford. The Nissan 5.6 Litre quad cam V8 ( fitted to the new Nissan Patrol.)The engine is having its engine compacity reduced to 5 litres (same capacity as current V8 race car engines) This will be a great engine once developed for the Nissan Race car.
Mark11 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Who cares!!! Sorry but I'm so over ford versus Holden. This sport will only be worth watching when some more manufacturers are allowed to join... Nissan would flog both of them, as would Audi, Mercedes, BMW, VW.
skeptic36 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Jabiru will take all the podium positions(and most of the others), Rotax will fail to finish due to sprague clutch failure............
brilin_air Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Jabiru will take all the podium positions(and most of the others), Rotax will fail to finish due to sprague clutch failure............ Rotax failed to show up at all....... -Linda Back on topic. Craig Lowndes. Been a fan of his for a very long time....
facthunter Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Lowndes is a good bloke. Pity Ford were so silly as to let him go. There is not much in the cars you see going around that track that resemble the ordinary ones bearing the name(s). There is a lot of development in them, so I don't see newcomers just walking all over them, straight away. Nev
Doug Evans Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 my money always on the Ford Boys Rotax 582s will fly in under the Jabs cause they blow a cylinder bolt no 3 on final
Mick Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 my money always on the Ford Boys Rotax 582s will fly in under the Jabs cause they blow a cylinder bolt no 3 on final Are you suggesting we will have to rename it "Through Bolt Straight"
Doug Evans Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Are you suggesting we will have to rename it "Through Bolt Straight" I won't BE GAME //////////////////
winsor68 Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 . I know alot of die hards would like it the stay just Ford and Holden. ]Some of us (semi)"Diehards" remember when it was about "The Race" rather than Ford or Holden... I used to really dig Allan Moffat... probably because he was the outsider/underdog.
alf jessup Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 A CAR with either a Ford or Holden badge:ban me please:
alf jessup Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Jabiru will take all the podium positions(and most of the others), Rotax will fail to finish due to sprague clutch failure............ Bill, Wash your mouth out!!!!!!!!!!! Alf
Doug Evans Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 there all the same these day in the old days they where cars we all drove now they dont even resemble cars we drive apart from there looks !
dazza 38 Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 there all the same these day in the old days they where cars we all drove now they dont even resemble cars we drive apart from there looks ! Yep. They are getting closer to USA stock cars all the time. PS- Nissan will probably get banned again like they did back in the day .If they win too much.
Doug Evans Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 then ford bring back the turbo 4 cylinder kick all again
Blueadventures Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 then ford bring back the turbo 4 cylinder kick all again I'm for the Fords. Would have been good to see Glen Seaton win one years ago. Go the Blue Oval.
dazza 38 Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 then ford bring back the turbo 4 cylinder kick all again Yep, those Ford sierra's where great.
turboplanner Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 You forgot the 'who cares' option! Yes, bugger that, I just want to fly!
Ultralights Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 a ford shaped purpose built race car, Vs a holden shaped purpose built race car....... hmmm
cscotthendry Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Hey, my option is not on there. It should have "A car with a driver in it." as an option! Seriously, the most competitive guy on the track has to be Whincup.
Doug Evans Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 I would fly but still have no plane she still on the building blocks
