Bathurst today, the final year with a factory Holden team.

Who's watching?

Van Gisbergen/Tander look fast and it's good to see Murphy back on the grid.

I’ll be watching it. Hopefully there will be some good shenanigans as it’s supposed to be a wet race!

Yep. Couch is booked out all day here.
Air fryer will be getting a solid workout throughout too!
I don’t know what today will bring but would be kinda nice to see Holden take the W in their last appearance.
Happy Bathurst Day everyone!

Went to Bathurst from 1968 to 1984.
Saw you there in '68. I was at McPhillamy ....................... remember .;)

As last year was supposed to be the 'last' Holden race, so I went there to reminisce, and am still waiting to collect my 1.18 Mozzie race car to put beside the 1.18 McPhee Monaro ........................ so sort of hoping that Ford win this year (cough) so I don't have to buy another model.

Next year, Chev vs Mustang ............ won't be the same, despite the TV commentators talking up the history of Jane, Beechey and others prior to the Holden / Ford tribal wars. :(

Going to be watching it.

Going back about 15 years ago, I drove the track a week before they arrived for the race at the track....What a blast that was.

Stuck to the speed limit, as I heard coppers love sitting around the track busting people...

Only downfalls...Was pissing down when I went, so I got soaked taking pictures....And 2ndly, didn't have time to go into the museum......

Looks like I’ll be riding the motorbike to work next week! The SSV is still in pieces and I doubt I’ll be putting it all back together today! Took me about 5 hours yesterday to pull it all apart so I won’t be getting the 5 hours plus to put it back together and watch Bathurst.

When too any safety cars are barely enough.
