Ford Vs Holden

[edgy drift]

Totally not a biased Holden fanboy

(Acts like a totally not biased Holden Fangirl)

[hybrid radish]

both shit 🙏🙏

(i’m definitely not biased)

[edgy drift]

You calling these two historic manufacturers shit?

Down here in Aussieland they’re legends in the Motorsport industry

[tropic abyss]

i think a car is better than the other one

[vast pivot]

I think they both have 4 tires and an engine

[spring reef]

Exactly

Allan Moffat easily the best Ford driver

Along with Dick Johnson

Well let’s see here, was it Brock that made Holden special, or was it Holden that made Brock special

Brock was an amazing driver

But also, were the Holdens any better than the Fords way back when?

[edgy drift]

I mean, performance was similar. Last year Holden was just over on par with ford, this year the Chevrolets are dominating

[spring reef]

But would you also agree modern V8 Supercars isn’t all about the car…since they are the same car essentially apart from the make. It’s been about the driver, and Shane has been dominating

[edgy drift]

Well V8 Supercars board themselves have admitted that Chevrolet dominated this year. But yes, the championship itself is close becuase of the drivers involved in 888 and Arebus

Performance last year was very close yes

Bc of drivers

[spring reef]

Yeah exactly

But even then Shane still dominated

[edgy drift]

And if Gen 3 kept the more stock style cars then Shane would have dominated this year

[spring reef]

Yeah

[edgy drift]

Tbf this is the most exciting season in years in terms of drivers standings

[edgy drift]

It’s a 4 way battle

[spring reef]

Of definitely

Brodie has definitely improved over the last few years

[edgy drift]

Yes. He also won an esports title last year iicr

It’s mainly Brodie v Shane, but Feeny has a chance. I won’t rule out Brown but I doubt he can clinch it

Feeny is my #1 for next season

@spring reef who do you think will win the titles?

Drivers: Brodie, Teams: 888.

Still want Shane to win it though before he goes

[spring reef]

I’d agree with that, Mozzie’s just biding his time, either that or he wants out, most likely not though, he still loves it as far as I’m concerned

[edgy drift]

Yeah alright. Mostert needs to find another team because he still has the talent, just isn’t showing it at the moment as much as he can.

Oh wait

I remember

[spring reef]

Mmm?

[edgy drift]

He’s forming a GT3 team

It makes sense that it’s a McLaren one

[spring reef]

Mmmm yes I remember that now

[edgy drift]

Becuase one of the owners s of WAU is Zak Brown

So it links in

[spring reef]

Ohhhhhh yes

Oh well, least he’ll be happy there

[edgy drift]

Yeah. Also, I tried one of the Snowy River caravans last time I was out at a V8 race

Their pretty nice lol

And you can’t tell me these don’t sound like heaven

[spring reef]

Idk what video this is lol but I think this was the first lap of the Bathurst 1000

[spring reef]

Also yes I do totally agree

[edgy drift]

You got to go this year? Lucky.

I was supposed to

Just ended up there being no time to go

[spring reef]

Damn, this year was amazing though

[edgy drift]

Yeah, say what you want about the Camaros but the battles are exciting

[spring reef]

Yeah, it’s not what you know it’s who you know if you know what I mean.

[edgy drift]

Ahhhh alright..

[spring reef]

Yeah

Was also the case for the AusGP this year and last year

(F1)

[edgy drift]

gawddamn

Last F1 GP I went to was in 2019

When Danny Ricc retired 😭

I like how this mini thread turns into a full discussion about V8s lol

[spring reef]

Ik lol

Sorta on topic tho

[edgy drift]

Yeah

Formula Ford is so exciting live

Porsche GT3s are lean as

[spring reef]

(Very off topic but this is the closest I’ll get to Max Verstappen)

[spring reef]

They were so bloody loud at Bathurst where I watched

[edgy drift]

Closer than I got. I’ve talked with Raikkonen and Ricciardo before though which I find cool

[edgy drift]

Same here down at Symmons Plains

Right next to the track is ear splitting

[spring reef]

Yeah I would imagine

[edgy drift]

I wish there was an active V8 Supercars discord server

[spring reef]

“ What are your predictions for the race?” Kimi: “I’ll start and finish the race 🤷‍♂️ 😂

That’s his mojo

Everyone loves him tho

[edgy drift]

Yeah

His driving is overshadowed by his cold attitude

[spring reef]

That would be amazing

[spring reef]

Exactly

[edgy drift]

Can only fantasise about an active one becuase there aren’t many fans in here (are atleast 30 for all ik)

[spring reef]

Yeah, that’s unfortunate

My family and mates had the opportunity to race at Bathurst back in 2019, and of course we took it because it’s bloody Bathurst

[edgy drift]

To race?

[spring reef]

Yes….ik that sounds not very believable but trust me

[edgy drift]

Race in what? I can believe you

[spring reef]

Unfortunately not a Falcon or a Commo but smth even more unreliable

Mazda RX-7

It’s great though, my mates and family all love racing in this

[edgy drift]

That’s aweseome

[spring reef]

In the race we came 19th, which is very good when we are up against big Falcon and Commo V8’s

But yeah anyway back on topic

[edgy drift]

Oh that’s cool
