Gee Bathurst is awesome.
Great race. Not sure if 888 will rue that decision to put a splash in with Dumbrell at the last safety car. Mind you it was the two Dumbrell errors that hurt track position.
Well done to Frosty for holding his nerve. Some top quality driving in that last stint.

Well done FPR on a well deserved win.
As Wrighty said it was a great race but to me that race has now become just one big sprint.
Gone are the days of thrills and spills, cars spluttering back to the pits and hero stories!

Screw that. Any Ford win is one too many. Frosty and Richards lucked into it with the Redbull guys having to do an extra pitstop thanks to the wrong call on a safety car. Take that away (and the extra stop for HRT) and FPR would have been nowhere as usual.
The sun shines on an old mongrel dog's arse from time to time. And this weekend, that mongrel was FPR.
Only Ford's 5th win since 1998 and first factory win since 1977. Not sure I would celebrate too hard with stats like that.
At least it should keep the serial blue oval bitches over at central quiet for a while.
Hopefully the dummy spits and conspiracy theories by Col and the rest of those dribblers will die down for a while now at least and we can get on with the racing.
When Redbull kicks FPR's arse in the championship at least now those drop kicks won't have 'parity' and 'conspiracies' to hide behind.
I wonder how many of the blue oval dummy spitters turned off and didn't watch what was supposedly going to be a Redbull white wash?
Like spoilt fucken babies, seriously.
So no congratulations from me to FPR. Enjoy your win. It will be your only at the mountain for a long, long time.

Only Ford's 5th win since 1998 and first factory win since 1977. Not sure I would celebrate too hard with stats like that. It was a lucky win at best and not done on merit. Achieving it on merit would have been both FPR and 888 competing at the end of the race on the same amount of pit-stops. 888 clearly had the fastest car all weekend and FPR took advantage of a whole lot of luck to finally fill their trophy cabinet with one piece of silverware and not just the stuff you get from coming 2nd all the time.  At least it should keep the serial blue oval bitches over at central quiet for a while. Hopefully the dummy spits and conspiracy theories by Col and the rest of those dribblers will die down for a while now at least and we can get on with the racing. When Redbull kicks FPR's arse in the championship at least now those drop kicks won't have 'parity' and 'conspiracies' to hide behind. I fail to see how one Bathurst win will take away from them coming up with new or sticking by their existing conspiracy theories. Ford fans were born to be whingers ;D I wonder how many of the blue oval dummy spitters turned off and didn't watch what was supposedly going to be a Redbull white wash? Like spoilt fucken babies, seriously. Haha yeah I can see them doing that ;D So no congratulations from me to FPR. Enjoy your win. It will be your only at the mountain for a long, long time.

A bit of controversy post-race for 888 - but to be fair it wasn't just the x-box commodore that I thought was quick in a straight line it was all of the 888 cars. FPR didn't seem to be all that much down either and in fact was probably on par - I just think we witnessed a great debut performance from Ekstrom and very solid drive from Priaulx as to why other drivers may of mistakenly thought the x-box car had a straight line advantage. I might have to ask KRE about it  INTRIGUE OVER WILDCARD STRAIGHTLINE SPEED
Triple Eight technical director Ludo Lacroix insists it was aerodynamic efficiency, rather than engine performance, that was behind the notable straightline advantage of the team’s wildcard entry at Bathurst. Internationals Mattias Ekstrom and Andy Priaulx starred throughout the weekend on the way to an eventual 10th placed finish in their one-off showing. The pair at one point appeared an outside threat for victory as, pulling away from eventual winner Mark Winterbottom, Ekstrom led the race until handing over to Priaulx on lap 134. Several laps short on fuel of being able to run to the chequered flag under green conditions, any slim chances of avoiding an eighth stop were soon dashed by a lock-up from Priaulx early in his stint. The biggest talking point surrounding the car on Sunday was not its drivers however, but rather its straightline speed. Several rivals commented to their teams during the race that they could not keep up with the Xbox car up Mountain Straight and down Conrod. Ford Performance Racing’s Will Davison described its speed as “ridiculous”, while even Triple Eight’s own Craig Lowndes made reference to wanting “Ludo’s engine”. Lucas Dumbrell, whose team runs customer Triple Eight equipment, joked on Twitter that he was “pretty sure the #XboxOne car has 750hp or is running #E70″. Official speed trap data supplied by a team to Speedcafe.com on Sunday showed the Xbox Holden to be the quickest of all cars, with its 289km/h reading a full 4km/h ahead of that managed by Lowndes or the winning FPR Falcon of Mark Winterbottom. The car also recorded a faster final sector, which stretches from the exit of Forrest’s Elbow to the control line, than either of the two Red Bull entries over the 161 lap contest. Lacroix, who returned to the role of race engineer for the first time in several seasons in order to look after the internationals, spoke proudly of the car’s pace post-race, but denied suggestions that its engine was running development components. “Our engine was not actually as good as the top two (Triple Eight’s Red Bull cars),” he told Speedcafe.com. “We wouldn’t put the best engine in that car if we could put it there (Red Bull). “It wasn’t special, but the car was the quickest because I know how to make a quick car in a straight line. “It’s cooling, it’s not carrying toe, not carrying camber… it’s just being clever,” he continued. “Maybe we are not quickest across the top, but we’re quick in a straightline. “Here when you race with ‘youngsters’, there is no point making them quick across the top and then they get beaten in a straightline. “You need to make sure that when they are in the pack nobody can beat them.” Lacroix added that the team’s off-sequence strategy in the race’s final third had been designed to keep the duo out of the pack. “We had to stop (for an eighth time) because, we should have stopped very, very early, but at the time it’s difficult to put these guys back in the middle of the pack,” he said. “It’s better to put them with the good ones (drivers) and they can learn very quickly the track. I think that was the best strategy.” The 10th placed finish ensured that Ekstrom was the first of the six rookies home. www.speedcafe.com/2013/10/15/intrigue-over-wildcard-straightline-speed/ |

Some very wise words from GT's about his pass on Bright - Bright was slow and he was holding him up! “It was inside 10 laps to go and he was slow. He was holding us up, he knew he was vulnerable. He was blocking down into Forrest’s Elbow every lap, which you are not allowed to do.
“If you are going to bend the rules one way, be expecting to race hard. He teared up at me straight after the race … build a bridge mate, it’s Bathurst.”www.v8supercars.com.au/news/build-a-bridge |

In other news, I spoke with the KRE guy who was actually part of the Xbox race team as well and he threw cold water on a few sceptics' suggestions mentioned in Speedcafe that they had a straight-line advantage. Nothing out of the ordinary compared to the rest of the KRE engines they supplied he was saying. He also said that Frosty's thing was 3rd fastest through the Conrod speed trap. Rumours and conspiracies continue despite Ford winning...  |
