Have been looking forward to watching this live for ages, but uncertain if it,s live on motorstv or not?
On their web site it says uk has it live, but looking at TV guide on Virgin, it doesn't,t have it on till Sunday pm as a 4hr programme

flew between them on a local budget airline (sydney - melbourne), virgin blue iirc, its a 1000km between them, only cost about $100 back then. i don't know if its still possible but the weekend after bathurst theres a big event in surfers paradise as well.

tanks are still here..

and the banning of industrial explosives..

i'll always remember watching the top ten shootout on saturday afternoon at skyline, hearing a big thud and getting hit in the back by a compression shock caused by locals blowing up a car in the campsite behind. and that happened more than once that weekend..

I have heard it did get quite lively and fights over who wins, Ford or Holden.
Might be a bit different now Nissan are back and Merc have not joined and the lack of Ford team's out on the grid. I dont think anyone other than FPR and DJR are running FG Falcons now

2nd year in a row I've been on a rig and unable to watch. This month I was hoping to be around for this or the MOTO GP. It looks like I'll get to neither

Did the v8's in Adelaide and F1 in Melbourne this year though

Awesome last 15 laps.
Chuffed for Frosty, it's been a long time coming, the bloke is a deserving champion..
I'll have to spark up my old Falcon when it stops bloody raining!
