It doesn't help that the commentators were calling for a Safety Car to close the race up. Think of how many once-a-year watchers there are and for them to hear this.

I watch the Great Race each year with the car club I am a member of. It has become increasingly difficult to convince members who only watch Bathurst that the series in entertaining and Bathurst is not necessarily reflective of the general level of competition.
I’m not sure that analogy holds up.In tennis you get to keep the set you win on your scorecard and simply aren’t rewarded with the first serve in the following set.A better analogy is that they always play 5 sets and it doesn’t matter if you lost the first 4 if you win the 5th set you are the winner of the match.
I can agree with your statement about car club members watching the race as a group with low boredom thresholds.I spoke to someone who watched the 2019 race -the year of the Bathurst 6.213 rather than the Bathurst 1000 - in such a group and they mostly thought the race was “boring” until the late race Safety Car epidemic (aka the DJR Day Of Shame).Yet that race was great from the start with a constant mixture of the fastest co drivers going up against the Championship drivers and all sort of tactical switches.
Which returns to my original question about whether motor racing fans have uniquely low concentration spans.

Top photo.

That could be the definition of emotion, elation, first supercar victory and also winning Bathurst!

If you sit in a dark room, read it backwards, have a nice joint or two and then partake of a freshly deep fried Chiko Roll it will make complete sense.

Someone should intrude into her fantasy reality and tell her that the affection was for Brodie not Erebus.

Interesting on the James Courtney-delivered Listnr podcast suggested that Mr Allen actually fractured his collarbone in his first collision of the weekend in Super2..

And still went on to run in Super2 and the 1000..

Ouch! (If it’s correct!)

And surely the medical crew should have ruled him out..

Simple fracture, not a complex fracture. Probably not even show up on xray. Still bloody painful. But him and Aaron Love have experience with these things

So the pilot operates under a numbing agent for the race?

Does this not possibly make the pilot a risk when the painkiller stops working..

Pity King Charles couldn’t make it out for Bathurst.

I could just see Charles and the bride at the mountain, partaking of a few quiet ales while wearing his Brock05 shirt and the Repco bucket hat.

Instead the poor ******* has to go to Canberra, and meet our esteemed politicians.
