Bathurst 1000

[ShiftingGears]

Alright, who's gonna win it?

I vote Garth Tander.

[Cozzie]

The four main contenders are 888, Toll HSV, FPR and HRT.
Unfortuantely it's hard to go past Lowndes but I hope it's one of the Holden guys.

Yep it does seem to be between those 4 teams. I really like GT, Whincup, Winterbottom and Brighty to would be happy with any of them winning. Which probably means Rick Kelly will!

Hey Homer,

Great to see you back mate, hope everything is well with you.

Fingers crossed 888 will do the business for back-to-back Ford wins this weekend.

A 888 back-to-back would be good. But there are so many drivers that could win the great race!
Mark Skaife seems a regular winner, he could have a turn around of form and surprise many...

As long as it's a good race, I don't mind who wins..

Any word on who is partnering who at Toll HSV, HRT, FPR and 888?

I assume FPR will put Bright and Winterbottom in one car given that neither can win the title but both have great pace. Will 888 team Lowndes and Whincup at Bathurst liek they did at Sandown or split them?

Geoff,

Bright is now at his own team, Britek. Think you're still stuck in 2006!

Steven Richards/Mark Winterbottom FPR
Jamie Whincup/Craig Lowndes T8
Rick "Crash Bandicoot" Kelly/ Garth Tander TOOL HSV (I hate Rick Kelly, let it be said but like GT a lot so it'll be mixed emotions if they win)
Mark Skaife/Todd Kelly HSV

Dark Horses:

Jason Richards/Greg Murphy TASMAN
Jason Bargwanna/Max Wilson WPS

Hope GT does well as he seems to be jinxed in the enduros.

Bright & Macrow could do well. GRM should be in the mix too, Holdsworth & Canto have had good pace lately.

I meant Richo! Doh! I'm with you on the Kelly/Tander thing....but I suspect 888 will have the edge, but this being Bathurst who knows. My heart wants FPR to do it because I really like Winterbottom and Richards, but head says an 888 victory would make the championship very interesting.

You can't ever discount Murph, especially JR alongside him and I guess HSV too, although Skaife seems to blow hot and cold....he'd best stay clear of Jack Perkins too.
