"Drops more of oil than a Swedish racecar"

Fight!

They did something similar a play on Betty's car parts.

Super utes....

Nothing super about those as is.

Now, if Tickford, Nismo, RalliArt, TRD, (VW)R-Line, HRT, MazdaSpeed join via dealer networks, might be good. Don't know how Isuzu, SsangYong, Great Wall will be competitive, unless there is a control engine available.

So they abandoned the lower to the ground, Supercar-like plans? I'd be worried about these things being top heavy still. And diesel power?

Edit: Old article

Looks like diesel was planned from the start, but I still prefer the lower to the ground look.

I thought they were just fan renderings based off the Coupe 60?

In any case, I guess because I came down to whether the SuperUtes were going to be production based or COTF style.

 

[05XR8]

Looks like the NZ SSANGYONG series

 

[turbofozz]

Just had a thought, imagine if SVG wins the championship in NZ!

 

[05XR8]

Aww, c'mon. Good start to the weekend.

Edit: Todd gets a two spot penalty for blocking Courtney. That was bad for HRT to run too soon.

Moffat was so close until the last sector.

 

[Spacegoat]

Good stuff from Moffat. He's been in great form lately.

Nice to see Caruso up there in the top ten as well.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Good speed from Reynolds too. Should be a good race, hopefully SVG/Premat don't run away with it.

 

[05XR8]

Ugh. Please change that first chicane. So much potential for carnage.

 

[Pete05]

History has demonstrated the whole bloody lap is potential carnage.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Never fails.

 

[05XR8]

Okay okay enough of the replay!

Oh man and the #15

 

[CodeRedR51]

I swear Nissan either has bad luck or no luck at all. Meanwhile Red Bull running away...

 

[05XR8]

No doubt the crash helped their cause. They'll lap the field in no time.

 

[GTracer38]

Sheeesh can Erebus have any luck. Eh...car 9 seemed quick so hopefully it comes together tomorrow.

 

[aarror]

Do we really need 50 replays of the crash?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Jeeze we've seen the replay enough. Get over it.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

I just came here to say the same thing. Then when they're done, they give us an aerial shot of the skyscrapers (which, while I'm on a rant, makes the beach look so ugly).

 

[Pete05]

Anyone taking early odds on a time certain finish?

 

[05XR8]

Look like the #222 was in a GT6 lobby. Yeesh.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Anyone taking early odds on a time certain finish?

Not if it stays green, which I hope isn't the case. Way too spread out.

 

[05XR8]

Need a competition yellow like the Stadium Trucks.





No.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

The #222 car looks like the end of an average race in the original [V8 Supercar/Toca/DTM] Race Driver. The cars crumpled so easily in that game.

 

[CodeRedR51]

And there it is.

 

[05XR8]

Ash "Loose Cannon" Walsh.


...and Wood as the best NISMO.

 

[Pete05]

Ch.10 should've had a camera on Whincup's face when the double stack was going down.
Now he knows how Lowndes has felt soo many times in the past.

 

[aarror]

Wish there was some way to avoid double stacking, it sucks to see someone's race undone by a safety car. Moffat and Golding's excellent race is as good as done now
