Exactly, that was the grandaddy of touring car racing in the mid-80s, us Australian's even agreed (well the likes of Grice and Moffat anyway ;) )Quote:

Both drivers have had oodles of experience, both a capable of turning up the wick when appropriate and they have arguably the best built car under them.
888 didn't get to be multiple BTCC, V8 Supercar champions for nothing.
Barring no back marker running them off the road they look good, they both know how to look after the car which is more important than anything at BathurstQuote:

Shame for Jason Richards today with his crash, but watch for him off the back of the grid on Sunday, the guy is F-A-S-T around this track!
It's the best driver line up for sure and in a very fast car. But that doesn't mean they'll win it. Watching Ricahrds come through from the back should be interesting!!
On paper, yes, but factor in the 6hrs when anything can happen be it rain, racing incidents/collisions, etc.Quote:

Will be interesting to see if it can be eclipsed in tomorrow's shootout?
The yellow flags that inevitably will get thrown will negate several hours worth of driving in one hit - that makes the race a lot more up in the air.
I'm not sure if a red flag has been flown since 1992 but it sure got the crowd worked up:

You have to remember Jimmy had just lost a good friend that weekend when Hulme died so was pretty wound up anyway. I loved him after that speech.
And they were the right winners whatever Holden fans might like to think.
