Hi to all you V8 Supercars fans around the world.
This weekend starting from 9th October 2015 finishing with the big race on Sunday 11th October will be the 55th running of the Bathurst 1000 let’s look back at the qualifying for 2014.
Now let’s take a look back at what happened at the beginning of 2014’s great race. From the starting lineup Shane Van Gisbergen on pole position, alongside him was Mark Winterbottom. On lap 1 of 161, Scott Mclaughlin got into turn 1 first from 3rd on the grid, after the 2 cars on the front row stalled off the start line, on the opening lap. You will notice most of the co-drivers started the race 12 months ago. Let’s take a look at the highlights from the race.
If you want, here is the full race coverage for your pleasure.
Who will win the 2015 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000? Jamie Whincup and Paul Dumbrell have been giving the favorites tag by Ubet or will another combination claim the prize for this year’s race.
The Question is who can take the pole for the 55th running of the great race?
This year there will be 27 cars for this weekend’s race, can Triple 8 stop Pepsi Max Crew from making it a third Bathurst win in a row.
Unfortunately James Courtney will not be joining the race this year as he is still recovering from the incident at Eastern Creek Raceway earlier this year… We wish you all the best James. I was at the back of the garage at the time…
This will be Dick Johnson Racings Team Penske’s 1st Bathurst under the Team Penkse Banner
Will Jamie Whincup remember to fuel up? (Chuckles)
The telecast will be on Channel fox sports 5 channel 506 and Network Ten channel 110.
The Commentators at Bathurst this weekend will be Greg Rust and Neil Crompton.
Best of luck to everybody at this year’s event, which is event number 10. Happy Bathurst day for this Sunday. Enjoy the race, how many Safety Cars will there be in 2015 at Bathurst?
