I think the Enduro's will favour 888 as they really seem to manage their tyres & as I've been banging on about since race 1 their braking performance puts them in the box seat IMO, so even if the Kiwi finishes in the top 5 the two 888 cars will be upfront & I'll stick my neck out and say it'll be SVG hovering up the most points.
Some great racing this weekend Bathurst is going to be a cracker especially with SVG & Mostert out of the championship I'd say that makes them firm favorites for me, also is it time for Winterbottom to give up his drive as he has been nowhere this season.
The Nissans are showing good race pace & seem to suit Bathurst so they could be in the fight for the final step of the podium.

The 888's do have unbelieveable braking ability they're just able to brake so much later without locking up, also when they make a chassis adjustment it actually sharpens up the car.
The DJR cars moved away Prodrive knife edge setup & went with the approach that a car with a bigger window may not get poles but will be more consistent as it happens they've now got a car that does both.
The Nissans are my dark horses for a podium at Bathurst.

The top ten shootout was so close the race is going to be a corker, I was surprised the Nissans weren't in the mix.
My prediction was off but hey ho & a big shout out to the helicopter pilot he was on fire.
The Pole was stunning or to use the commentators words "that lap was off the scale"

MW has had a very poor year I will say the Prodrive cars have been very fickle in terms of setup but others have had standout drives in their cars or if they want to keep Winterbottom they could put Richie in Jason Bright's car.
The saves of race had to be Moffat & Caruso.
