Best Motorsport weekend of the year this weekend. Bathurst Satueday night into Sunday morning, just in time for the F1 to start shortly after and then the final BTCC rounds at Brands Hatch a short while after the F1 finishes! Bring it on
+1 to thatOne of my top 3 races of the year - I saw it live in 2001 and have been totally hooked on V8's ever since!
And I have just had delivered a 2TB sky+ box so this year, with space for 1650 hours of SD content and 350 hours of HD content, I will be recording the whole race (and even the weekend of race events) incase I fall asleep/have to talk to anyone!

Realised yesterday it's the Sunday Service this weekend also, so my name is coming off that now.

Just seen that Andy Priaulx and Matthias Ekstrom are partnering at the mountain this weekend. Could be one too watch.
I think Priaulx may have driven at Bathurst before but I wouldn't expect too much, international drivers don't typically do that well there - unfamiliar cars which aren't that easy to drive, combined with less track knowledge than the regulars.GravelBen said:

Yes he made his debut in 2002 and has been there a few times since, but hasn't been too spectacular. Eki is a top quality driver, I'm surprised he's never been stuck in an Audi sportscar.Supposedly the lack of experience shouldn't be an issue with the new COTF though, but we will see.

The full race is being shown on premier sports in HD on Sunday at mid day! Think I may wait for this. I always end up falling asleep by 3am! Although it does seem a shame not to be watching it live......
Difficult decision!
Mike
See you at 23:30 on Saturday night then Difficult decision!
Mike
Live is best!
In celebration of its 10th birthday... Greg Murphy's "lap of the gods"
Interestingly, Australian F3 driver Chris Gilmour set the fastest official lap record there last year:
Dallara F307 Mercedes-Benz 2m 04.6187s

I Still get goosebumps watching that.Massive Bathurst fan here
Think I upset my sky box scheduling so much recording for the weekend now, thankyou Motors TV :-)
Someone should talk Sky into a Motorsport Package, since Sky F1 will be shunted to pay-per-view for all in the end might as well be a suitable package, I couldn't give a toss about other sports channels.
As a first time Bathurst watcher what is the snack of choice to go with the gallons of beer? It'll have to sit nice with the Sushi lined up for the F1 :-)
