2023 60th Anniversary Bathurst 1000

Bottom post of the previous page:

Waters next..... the only Tickford car in the Top 10. He is running 'roaded' tyres rather than stickered green ones.

Down a tenth in S1 but gets it back over the mountain. Must be running a higher downforce as he was only 290 kph on the straight.

Runs just a 2hundredths shy to split Feeney and SVG.

ADP up next

[Everso Biggyballies]

He is a tenth down in S1..... He was also quick across the mountain so expect his last section down the straight to be a bit slow.

Indeed he slots into 3rd behind Waters.

James Golding up next to be the penultimate runner. Great lap yesterday but not sure he will be able to match it.

[Everso Biggyballies]

4/100ths off the fastest through S1. Quick across the mountain and is fastest to that point. All down to S3.


Not quite good enough with a lap almost identical to yesterday. Golding goes 3rd behind Feeney and Waters.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Just Brodie to run now. He deserves the pole and has been the benchmark most of the weekend.

Bit of a scrappy start at T1

He is 3/100ths down at S1.

Brilliant S2 to have a lead with S3 to go..

He is flying and if he gets round the last turn he has it in the bag.

BRILLIANT lap. Brodie takes POLE by over 0.4 seconds.

2:04.2719s to set the fastest lap of the weekend

It looks like the official Supercar page got a new layout for the Bathurst race but now I need to click several times to find the start time while it was on the front page on the previous version. So not exactly an upgrade for someone who watches these races at 4:00-6:00 am all the time.

Bathurst start is 3:15 am CET

Hehe, thanks. Tried watching live a couple of years ago when it started a couple of hours earlier. Did not go well for me.

NOTE: Our clocks go forward one hour this weekend as we move to our Daylight Saving / Summer time. So make sure your time zone calculations reflect that we in NSW (ie Bathurst) and Victoria will be in Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) by the time Bathurst happens

Thanks to the live timing countdown I noticed the race does indeed start at 2:15 am CET. But I did all my sleeping in the afternoon so that should take care of that

[Vassago]

Formation lap underway.

Waters, Golding, Payne, Randle, Heimgartner, Hill, Le Brocq, Courtney and Percat are the full-timers that will start the race.

[Vassago]

Whincup leads lap 1. Hill is 35 secs. behind the pack already and he was missing on the grid.

[Vassago]

TV says Hill has clutch issues so that sounds like an extremely long day ahead (or a very short one).

[Everso Biggyballies]

Shit I missed the start as I had an emergency. Not with me but with others so I had to rush out to get some medication from the pharmacy and just got back.

[Vassago]

Will Brown up to 6th place so that bad qualifying is ancient news already.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Waters leading the Ford Cup in 4th but a Tander DAlberto Payne and Randle back up in 7th - 10th.

First driver change .... get Percat out of the car and Coulthard in,.

Lowndes with a problem.... he pits straight into the garage.

[Everso Biggyballies]

It's a broken gear lever mount for Lowndes.

[Vassago]

#888 is slow and looks like a gearbox issue.

#23 off track but continues.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Whoops best Ford is in 5th as Stanaway passes Waters for 4th. Brown also waants Waters Gets him into the Chase

[Everso Biggyballies]

Lap 22 and Golding is the first of the leaaders to pit. Driver change as O Keefe in for Golding.
