A Camaro is going to win. They have the luxury of numbers and parity stability. Not to mention Camaro has the legs on the straights. Ford teams are once again chasing a setup that will work. If the engine doesn't detonate, 25 is the only Ford capable of taking it right to the end.

Don't count that 19 car out, Albert.  I think they and the 1 are the jokers in this Bathurst deck of cards.

Man, this is going to be a good one, isn't it?   :D

Hot from down town Bathurst, not all Mustangs in Practice 1 are running the new cranks, but all will have the new cranks by the weekend.

Matt Payne quickest in P1 and Cam Waters 2nd quickest

I am a bit curious about your prediction since the cars have had a lot of changes since their last Bathurst visit and much more since the 2023 Bathurst 1000.
Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.

Camaro has won most if not all on the faster circuits so far this season. There actually been very little change since opening at Bathurst. They have fiddled with the engine map and that's all. Pretty much the same thing they did last year until after Bathurst.

Erebus co-drivers in 3-4 in p2! :O

Mustangs in 1-2 with main drivers in p1 with 6 of each in the top 12.

some big prangs in S2 that I caught glimpses of. will keep the teams busy, esp the Kelly's. that was nasty. anyone know if it was driver error or a stuck throttle?
