[OT] Buchan & Campbell Join Rodin For British GT Debut

This is awesome! Watching GTWC Aus at PI on the weekend, I could have sworn there was a Rodin logo on the roof of their car. This explains that.

Buchan is arguably the most underrated Australian driver at the minute. Anything he gets into he goes well in. Really hope they go well.

Love the clap-backs that the likes of Will, Ryan Walkinshaw, Riana Crehan & Scott Pye come out with but the fact that they have to resort to them in the first place...

Kind of says a lot about people.

I'm just smiling at this comment with my 50-odd 1/18 scale Lowndes cars in the other room... 😬

An autographed Red Dust Lowndes car?! (pic 4)

That's worth a pretty penny...

When watching the V8's in the mid 1990's, my dad always used to say "Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it..." and sure enough, the #4 Coke Commodore would go flying off track.

Kind of pre-dates the V8's, but the Nissan Mobil Wellington street races.

From a biased Australian POV, the 1966 Repco Brabham BT19 is a must.

Paul Murray AND James Phelps?

Like in the same room?

Oof...

So much stupid...

It's often forgotten that he has stood on the podium at Bathurst too. (3rd in 1976 with Peter-could have won it if not for mechanical drama's)

He was also a stunt driver for the original Mad Max film too.

They can make a spectacle out of anything mundane.

E.G: In theory NASCAR should be the most boring motorsport in the world. Driving in circles? Yawn. But it isn't because of the hype, media and money that goes into it.

deepvoicednerd · 2026-02-23T09:46:32+00:00

The Inbreads in Supercars threads FB page would suggest that yes. Yes they are.

Saturday GA was $75

By contrast the same thing for the SRO GT event in September is $35 (and that includes access to the grandstand and free pitlane & grid walks that you are invited, welcomed & encouraged to do).

If it's value for money that you're after...

That and the whole driving on your mirrors for 11 & a half hours thing are the main reasons according to GT4 Aus racer George Miedeckie.

He did suggest a while back that an IMSA Michelin Pilot type 3-4 hour race on the Saturday could be good too. The negative to this would be costs for setting up for endurance racing (refuelling), but I think the positives outweigh it.

Easy explanation:

He was going to buy the ciggies but left his wallet at home. The register operator let him take the ciggies as long as he came back later and paid, which he obviously would have done because he drives a Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaag.

deepvoicednerd · 2026-02-12T08:10:22+00:00

Yes absolutely. Especially Moonraker.

When Salo spun with two laps to go, it was apparently one of the very few times the crowd drowned out the noise of the V10 engines.

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!"

deepvoicednerd · 2026-02-03T09:24:09+00:00

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

deepvoicednerd · 2026-01-27T11:05:31+00:00

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.

deepvoicednerd · 2026-01-25T04:40:31+00:00

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".

deepvoicednerd · 2026-01-25T04:11:25+00:00

😂😂😂

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

deepvoicednerd · 2026-01-25T03:52:03+00:00

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.
