The "REAL" bathurst race is a fortnight away,and as usual there is little publicity.Why do the car companies not make a big deal of it? It is after all the production car race,the one from which Aussie muscle cars were born.These are the cars we can actually buy,just the way it should be.I think its great and can only improve the product,whichever brand you choose.
Cheers.

As some have pointed out, they feel this is like little athetics, and it is not the same as there are all these sports car in it. I suppose the "real race" stopped in 1967 when muscle cars entered production racing.
At the end of the day if it is not F

Manufacturers these days, for the most part, couldnt seem farther removed from production racing. Nothing like the "win on sunday, sell on monday" glory days...which are sadly nothing more than a DVD for us young fellas.
But this race does prove the qu |

Hi,
The 12 Hour has been run and won by the superior car. There is a lot of interest in this race contrary to the views of some. For instance, Holden poured a lot of money into the entries for this year for little reward. Ford entered two Falcon models
