2022 Repco Supercars ChampionshipTouring Cars

[Spacegoat]

Didn't see the first race today sadly. But catching up on Twitter. I'm glad that Will Brown is okay, I'd be surprised though if that chassis is racing at Bathurst, the damage looks really bad.

Epic final race! I'm really going to miss Pukekohe.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Turned it off with 2 laps to go.

 

[ShiftingGears]

Great race. A real shame that Pukekohe is closing, it's legitimately one of the worlds greatest and most spectacular motorsport venues. Anyone designing tracks should look at it before they try jam 21 corners into 5km of track.

 

[Twisteddrift]

What a finale! Great finish between two of the hardest racers in the field. I'm gonna miss this place. Good weekend overall in the racing, now on to the big one.

For those (like me) who are gutted at losing Pukekohe, there is one little bit of good news ... It's coming to iRacing !!
So just like Oran Park, we lose it but gain it back in it's full laser scanned goodness via iRacing .

I am thankful to a good friend of mine who let me drive his race car around Pukekohe a few times back in the days, such a fast bumpy track, fully loved every second of it... Just want it on iRacing right now though !!

Should be seeing it real soon.

Man, real shame there's no GT-R, S5, M4, C63, G70.

Is that Mustang set to race next year?

Yes.

Looks miles better than the road car does, imo. Though the GT3 version leaves them all to shame. That thing looks the absolute business.

I don't know what will come of it. If it's referring to the post-race "discussion" in the Erebus garage with Frosty. Probably the worst thing that will come out of it will be a fine imo.

Barry Ryan could be in a spot of bother. Fine and maybe a short suspension???

And just like that, we'll see the new body at Bathurst.

Another manufacturer should put their hand up. The Mustang looks too new to not have a just as new car, next to it on the grid.

 

[05XR8]

Looking good.

Supercars backs Gen3’s longevity amid cost blowout

The Gen3 Chevrolet Camaro at Sandown The additional cost of producing a Gen3 car on top of the budget that

www.speedcafe.com

“We’re not trying to build a cheap racecar, we’re trying to build a good product that will last us for a good amount of time.

I'm sorry? Wasn't one of the big selling points of Gen3 was that it was going to be significantly cheaper than the previous cars and help lower costs for teams. What's the point then? This really has become a mess.

 

[Twisteddrift]

The two main reasons of Gen3:
1. Cutting Costs
2. Improving the on-track product

As mentioned before they failed to cut down the costs of building and running these new cars. There are some rumours that at QR tests that the new cars are braking later than the current cars which as we know is very difficult the follow at most tracks. But I hope it's not true. But it's not looking great.

 

[05XR8]

Hmm… they’ll look and sound great, but perform too well...

 

[Twisteddrift]

It looks great. Can't wait to see on track.

 

[05XR8]

Can’t wait to see that next year.

Now the age old question - will the wheels stay red? 😆

 

[Twisteddrift]

Now the age old question - will the wheels stay red? 😆

Probably not. I'd say if it's wet over the weekend then the rocket red rims will come out.

 

[Spacegoat]

Okay, that looks freakin fantastic.

Wish WAU would do a retro livery, given it's their last Bathurst as a Holden team. Maybe they'll have something for Adelaide though.

You never know it's still a week out. I reckon they'll be more liveries released as we get closer to the weekend.

Agreed. I reckon he'll do well. I hope they allow him to run 97. And it'll be awesome if Red Bull sponsored him too.
