One of my favorite moments from one of my favorite racing series. 100% should check them out, a bunch of crazy Australians chucking 1.5 ton V8 monsters around is a ton of fun to watch!

I'm not much for motorsport but Bathurst is fascinating.

Ah, the old hit it until it works routine. It it ain't broke don't fix it; and if it is broke hit it.

Best thing is, these are modified family cars. Every dad used to feel like he was racing taking the kids to the beach

Back when they were Group A, the best period of Aussie touring car racing.

They should all do that.

Ask from John how to uninstall McAfee.

Man this just gave me ptsd
AnEngineerWithNoFriends
You should have been using Linux like the rest of us.

Installing Norton is like putting an umbrella up your ass. Once you open it it's not coming out.

You go, way to share your life experiences with us!

I mean, this is relatable. I feel like this about Norton as well...

If it wasn't a logistical hassle the V8 Supercars should do a exhibition race at Belle Isle or Road America.

Pretty much every PC users experience with Norton running, so...

I had Norton and ended up with almost 200 viruses in a week. Never again.
AnEngineerWithNoFriends
Gateway? Did you buy the WildFile GoBack package so you could quickly restore?
BabyBumbleBee3
Not sure, this was back around 08'.

This is the instructional video for uninstalling Norton.

I won't disagree.

Someone edit the black patch thingy to have an avast logo.

using a hammer like that, damn, then I noticed the dude on the left is straight up punching the car like it wants its lunch money.

That's Chris Redfield.

And then they both proceeded to put some kind of giant duct tape on it, this video just gets better and better as you watch it
PerpetuityPhoto
It's basically flex tape.

I see you have never owned/done maintenance on a nissan.

Sometimes the cars need punching, that's why we have Kyle.

Important questions though... Ford or Holden?

Neither, they are both dead

Holden, rip

If you can put a V8 in one, I'd drive it.

Real talk though, I'm the worst type of person to ask that question to. I have no allegiance to any one brand. Just want to see some racing!
TEKterra
Uuuhh..u mean the brand of car??? Guessing by the big badge in the grill think toyota
rchcopper
It's a Bathurst thing. There's a massive rivalry between Ford and Holden. Basically Aussies are supposed to be one or the other.
rchcopper
*was
rchcopper
(though like most tribalism, I'm sure it persists)
rchcopper
You mean the one that says Nissan?
ko0ji9hu82718
Nar the Nissan badge means it a honda

So Ford then?

Meanwhile, a F1 gets looks at weird and stops working. Touring and rally are the best kind of motorsport.
neomagus00
90 mins isn't enough to bother repairing. So the cars aren't built for it, either. LMS and WRC are. Plus, yeah, carbon fiber go pshkwrchk.
Filanwizard
And NASCAR sits somewhere inbetween. not technical like F1 but also not smack with a hammer and keep racing.
Filanwizard
but I bet this race seen in the gif has a much lower entry cost allowing for more teams which is great.
Filanwizard
which is the biggest flaw of F1, you need the budget of Lockheed Skunkworks to win.
mcbotulism
Sledgehammers and duct tape have been used for bodywork many times in the past by NASCAR pit crews, though that may not be possible in 2022.
lronMaiden
I personally love rally. For me it's the real racing. Car flips over? Roll it back, try to start it and go!
KevorkianScarf
F1 isn’t meant to be hard hitting. It’s about precision and speed. So, yeah, they do exactly what they’re supposed to.
Tppsfckpps
They do similar things to f1 cars, when the drs mechanism on the rear wing gets stuck, for example
KevorkianScarf
I have seen that, when Alonso’s got stuck open
superandrd
Supercars is doing a fantastic job with their youtube channel I've been binging everything in the archive. Wish WRC could put up full stages

Supercars have a YouTube channel?? There’s goes my productivity for today

Was there for that race-was f*cking unreal. Glass windscreens were banned, only perspex. Heated wires couldn't be used to keep clear anymore
BeerCir
So they banned glass for I'm assuming safety reasons but allowed them to drive one handed at 160MPH and squeegee the inside? LoL.
flornholio
Pretty sure he got a penalty for it. Only a handful of teams didn't figure out an alternative. One guy heat-stroked in the car. Messy day.

Cheers for that, that was an interesting read on what must have been a nightmare weekend of racing.
