Virgin Australia Supercars Championship - Archive

DRIFT4EVA · Feb 6, 2004

As the Aussie V8's seem to be getting more popular every year I thought it's only right to make a thread on them. I've searched but nothing really came up. There is only 1 Guideline to follow which is

Keep all race info etc to this one thread, so that there aren't heaps of threads on this one topic

For those who don't know what V8 Supercars are.

V8 Supercars is just another name for the Australian Touring Car Championship. It consists of two makes of cars, Holden and Ford. The close and fierce racing nature makes for good moves and big crashes. Always exiting. They race in various places around Australia and in 1 place in New Zealand.

That's the basics of V8 Supercars.

As said in the title this thread is for posting results and general talk on V8 Supercars

Also I'm going to bathurst! and I might be going to clipsal, depend's on weather my dad's working or not.

Jay · Feb 8, 2004

i was going to go to the clipsal 500, but i am entering a track day at mallala the week before so im saving my money for that

Glut · Feb 9, 2004

I intend to go to one of the Eastern creek races and an annual pilgrimage to Bathurst

But do they really need 2 Sydney races at the same track? :rolleyes:

Havn't missed a race at Barbagello Raceway in 5 years, we get a box right on Cat Corner.
Went to the F1 GP at Albert Park last year, again the V8's rock there, pity my ticket only gained me limited access.

Hope the Mighty Holdens regain the title this year :cool:

DRIFT4EVA · Feb 9, 2004

I WANNA GO TO BATHURST!!!. I'll probably go to Pukekohe instead and watch Greg Murphy win again.

It will be a real Lottery in Shanghai as no one has raced there.

Welcome over this way Desmond 👍

I'll be at the Gp again this year to watch the V8's and if I'm lucky Skaify will put into the gravel again, right in front of me :lol:

We have a few threads on the V8's here such as:

and

maybe a search shouldve been done first

DRIFT4EVA · Feb 9, 2004

I did use my search button. Besides this is for Results too.

DES LIM · Feb 9, 2004

Thanks Clinton, with abit of luck and organizing I should be joining you at the GP on the 7th of March, drinking Fosters from plastic cups!!!!! :eek:

Cap'n Jack · Feb 9, 2004

There isn't going to be two easter creek races this year, instead they're going to shanghai for the last round.

millencolin · Feb 9, 2004

i havent seen any race-car paintjobs yet. cant wait though. again this year, i will be attendending both queensland races, at willowbank and surfers paradise. they both rule as at willow you can see the whole track. and at indy, its just awesome.

my tip, too close to call. but go MIGHTY AMBROSE, or infact anyone who drives a ford.(except for david thexton, he can just bugger off)

Tosk · Feb 9, 2004

Do you even have to ask?

It is gunna be the red machine's. No ownership probs or testing restrictions this year

Bollocks#999 · Feb 9, 2004

Yeah, maybe so but Im still hoping he puts it in again

Welcome over to

Tosk: Myself and PH just may have a suprise for you at the GP weekend

NOPE, just wait and see

DRIFT4EVA · Feb 10, 2004

It's gonna be 1 Holden that wins. That Holden is gonna be Kmart Racing Team #51 Greg Murphy. You know what? He's gonna win Bathurst again too.

Tosk · Feb 10, 2004

I would even put money on that

millencolin · Feb 10, 2004

what will be good to see is if murph can produce a lap like he did last year. When i saw that lap, me being a ford fan, i knew i was in the **** this weekend. i doubt he can produce the same pace

He said that he missed a gear too

Tosk · Feb 10, 2004

Murph has always had bad luck, which I think has disguised his abilities. All he needs is no bad luck this year, he had enough last year to cover him for the next few I think...

Bollocks#999 · Feb 11, 2004

That, i'd have to agree with, but I aint gonna barrack for him though

millencolin · Feb 11, 2004

same ere. tops driver, but i dont like him. not because he drives holden, i just dont like him. complains too much

Bollocks#999 · Feb 13, 2004

So if you were given a 5 min penalty, how would you react?

Tosk · Feb 13, 2004

If I was given a 5 min penalty, I would have done more than take a piss!!
