Bathurst 1000

[Andyk]

I just love the V8 racing down under....close, agressive racing...The Bathurst being one of the best...It was on last Sunday and mananged to catch the last few laps......A rookie in the lead with an old hand up his chuff going around one of the great driving challenge tracks about...........If you can hunt it down its worth watching the last few laps of the 161 lap race as this is what real racing is all about.......These are real men...........

Oh and I bet this chap had an OH sh!t moment.....

Here a vid from lap 156 to 161...its 16 mins but worth a watch as the last few laps are brilliant with Lowdes hunting down and trying to over take Tender......The speeds the do down the hill by the walls in those big machines...They must have b0llocks made of steel...
