Bathurst....V8 Supercars.
Yes, it's on again, my FAVOURITE event of the year. 3 days of continual TV viewing, maybe 4 this year, as I'll be watching it on Foxtel.
Currently waiting to see if the factory Holden (HRT) driver James Courtney will be fit enough to drive after being seriously injured by flying debris in a pit incident. I hope He gets well soon, but I'd also like to see Russel Ingall get the drive, as He did so well at Sandown.
Any of you guys watching?
Pickles.

Well then, you'd love the new one. Holden have just released the latest VF 11 range & the V8 version now gets the 6.2L LS3 V8previously reserved for HSV, but if that's not enough you can have the HSV version, the Malloo, which now has no less than 400KW from its supercharged LSA V8!!.......and yes, I'd love one in our 90!!

I remember watching the Bathurst for the first time on World of Sport, ITV (yes, THAT long ago) and thinking "holy crap, what the hell is this?" Mr. Green

Thundering V8's, bumper mounted cameras (never seen that before) and crazy Aussies who when after a massive crash involving his car summersaulting over the Armco, during the interview after, the driver was shown the vid and asked "So Bruce, can you tell us a bit about the car here" and he replied deadpan.
"Yeah mate, it's outta control" Laughing New project and it's green: www.projectoverland.info

Yes, The HSV website should be OK.
There is another "monster" in the wind, as Commodore production is ending in 2017. And this car is supposed to have the dry sumped 471KW LS9 engine in it(previously only seen in Corvette ZR1).....it may be called the GTS "R",....but nothing factual from HSV yet.

It's all happening!!
Foxtel telecast starts at 10.00am today,...for FOUR FULL DAYS,...I'm in Heaven.
Major interest surrounds how Russell Ingall will go in the factory Holden Team replacing regular driver James Courtney?
Sebastion Bourdais is driving, as is Oliver Gavin,...you guys may be familiar with them?
