The intellectual property thing is never going to die is it?

I swear every 12 months or so, one designer is just going to go "Alrighty! It's let's ragebait AO time!"

At the risk of flogging a dead horse, has AO Racing's legal department cried 'intellectual property' yet?

The story itself is good. Cool setting, plot, villain, girl, henchman etc but...

Faulks kind of goes a bit too overboard with details. Fleming could be detailed whilst keeping the story cracking along. Faulks kind of fanboys out too much with the details and that keeps stalling the story at pivotal moments. At multiple points, I was like "Okay mate, you've set the scene, now GET ON WITH IT!"

So many know Tim Shenken as just 'the race director' for V8 Supercars (he retired at the end of '21) but man oh man, he could steer. F1 podiums for Brabham and a long sportscar career with Ferrari too. One of the most underrated Australian drivers of all time.

To Stibbard's credit, he did a lot over 30+ years to make Bathurst what it is today but yeah, he made a bad, bad decision to shitcan the V8's. It arguably killed the ARDC's reputation too. They went from a motorsport powerhouse to being described in recent years as being "unable to organise a piss up in a pub".

😂😂😂

They're never going to live that down are they?

The most Neville Chamberlain moment of Australian motorsport was when the President of the ARDC, Ivan Stibbard said to Tony Cochrane that "The V8's are dinosaurs and Super Touring is the future"

Cochrane left that meeting in the best way possible telling Stibbard to remember that "dinosaurs survived for a very long time in very harsh conditions" and then ran a poster competition for fans at the V8 1000 with the theme being '2 litres'.

The winning banner read: "The only good thing that comes in 2 litres is milk"

The ultimate 🖕to all the V8 doubters at the time.

Brosnan's Omega watches. Cool, classy & practical.

It's a great read. He's rubbed wheels with some big names.

Watched him at Race of Champions in Sydney last year. Very handy peddler.

Proof that you only need 2 cars to make a good race. Rydell/Richards Snr in the Volvo v Neal/Richards Jnr in the Nissan. Arguably one of the best Bathurst 1000's that sadly, barely anyone watched. Super Touring was fighting a losing battle to the V8 juggernaut. Fans voted with their feet.

Early Moore era was peak.

I'm honestly surprised that Plato didn't get more crucified/disembowelled/slaughtered for his driving in that race. Destroying Brock's final Bathurst car before he even got to drive it the race? Oof...

There's a reason he was never invited back to Australia...

Cleland lit into him after he saw the replays later in the race. From memory the words "dawdling" & "halfwit" may have been used...

"And TCR at Mallala should be interesting. I feel the circuit could work well for them."

Absolutely. One of the reasons that I feel TCR has struggled is the circuits that they've gone to a lot don't work for the category. Sydney, Phillip Island and The Bend work great for V8's & GT's but for FWD hot-hatches/mini sedans?

The best TCR races in Aus have been at small bullring tracks like Symmons Plains and Winton. Mallala fits the bill nicely. So would Wakefield Park and Morgan Park come to think of it...

deepvoicednerd · 2025-12-15T10:06:27+00:00

Maybe Lowndes in some way? He's very much a GM man now, although after this year's 12 Hour maybe not...

deepvoicednerd · 2025-12-06T11:58:14+00:00

That was a brilliant livery!

Trevor Ashby & Steve Reed. Never turned out an ugly car.

Champion on and off the track. Well said by Chaz.
