Thank you Brad and Rachel, your videos are always extremely interesting. The only downside is there’s not enough of them 🥰 Best wishes from Batemans Bay, NSW.
how backwards touring car racing has gone, the massive expense building custom bodies , when we had basic road car shells with just a roll cage and different suspension pick up points ect, to this, a full custom hand built body, all hand fabricated, even the whole floor pan, the whole car, its so out of touch, not what touring, racing cars was in oz and all about , no one even cares any more, the cars and racing is so boring, follow the leader, little if any overtaking, the youth of today are not even interested, the great race ,ford and Holden is long gone, young kids are not even interested in motor racing when brand and cars mean nothing any more, another 5-10 years super-cars will be dead, it means nothing anymore to anyone, theirs no ford or Holden, just fake cars and bodies that are all the same basically and very expensive , i remember when brad starting out at the thunder dome, controlled road car shell, 308-304 holden v8, basic low cost racing, exciting to watch, vk-vl holden against ford xe ect, great days and close racing, not any more, its so boring, the 2024 bathurst, was very boring , not even a lead change after many hours of racing, sad but true, no one cares any more about touring cars supercars any more, not like years ago at school or work, who won, what car race ect, its just crappppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
I look at this differently. We are lucky that touring car racing exists at all. I admit that Gen 3 has far too many issues and its often a case of "follow the leader" as you wrote. Still it's not the worst outcome, as I expected it to disappear in 2017 when Australian manufacturing has finished, and soon after that Volvo and Nissan quit their participation.
well if is so crap, why is Toyota investing in the sport? When the sport was actually dying was back in the 90's when you had one car dominate the racing. Without the changes back then, the sport would have died.
You talk like this is the only form of touring car racing there is. There are all sorts between full road cars and this. TCR sounds more like what you want so follow that instead if this is so terrible.

Thanks for sharing this one. Worth watching twice.
❤ the videos wish for more and longer
Thx Brad, it will always be Tailem Bend to me......
Out of curiosity, you weigh it before and after painting so how much weight does the paint generally add to the frame?
They say one tonne on a 787. That's mind blowing.
@grantleyhughes yes, thats incredible. 😮
And what part of these cars are Mustang or Camaro? Other than a badge?
Absolutely zero. Why? Because that's a Commodore
It's a race car. Why does it have to be the same as the road car?

I miss proper touring cars. They had character. And the privateers.
Its been this way since project blueprint in 2003. Racing evolves. Some fans are left behind. New ones get on board. It is how the world goes.
