Ohh man, I cant wait to watch the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 with my dad this weekend ^^
Scott McLaughin has just set a new lap record at Mount Panorama, setting a time of 2.03.7, 0.1 of a second faster than the old lap record that he set back in 2017. He currently leads the championship by 598 points over Shane Van Gisbergen.
Before:
After:
The Mustangs have been INCREDBILY strong in practice.
They filled the top 7 spots in the last practice session and it was a mustang 1 - 2 - 3 in the co-driver session.
The forecast doesnt look good.
There's a 90% chance of rain today and a 90% chance of rain at 4PM.
That's when they go for qualifying. That's gonna REALLY shake up the grid if it DOES rain.
Oh, and there's a 90% chance of rain on the Saturday. The last time we had a WET Top 10 Shootout was in 2015. Luckily, the forecast says it WON’T be raining on the Sunday.
Here are some interesting facts about the Great Race:
- the last car to win the Bathurst 1000 from Pole position was in 2009.
- the last time Ford won at Mount Panorama was in 2014
- In the recent past, Jamie Whincup has had A LOT of bad luck at this place:
In 2013 - he tried to go around the outside of Frosty on the final lap (which was NEVER going to work) and made a fool of himself. If I was him, I'd either would've put him into the fence so my team-mate could win the race or try to overtake him at Forrest's Elbow / Conrod Straight
In 2014 - He ran out of fuel on the last lap. Completely dis-obeyed team orders to conserve
In 2015 - He passed the safety car. Got a drive-through penalty.
In 2016 - He caused a HUGE accident. He bumped Scott McLaughlin off the race-track, tried to re-dress, held up Tander and caused a MASSIVE accident. Got a 15-second penalty. Serves him right.
In 2017 - he had a mechanical problem. His car lost a cylinder and that put him out of contention
…and in 2018 - His co-driver lost a wheel when he was going up the main straight
...and DON'T expect him to win this year. Something's gonna happen to him and you know it.
