Remember when Nissan won the big race, the bogans nearly started a riot!

I'm no expert here, so I may stand corrected.But I do believe that the race cars have live rear axles, not independent rear end.I don't think that independent rears are suitable for high speed racing.
My final word on this (hooray i hear some say!) the cars definitely have live rear axels, they are overall a low tech approach to racing, big simple (primitive) engines with modern injection and management systems coupled with basic suspensions. In the hands of a good driverr they go pretty fast with 600bhp. I think as a television spectacle this stuff is losing its appeal, I was in a small town, Morgan in SA on Sunday, there are two pubs adjacent to each other in times gone by one was a Ford pub and one a Holden pub on the Bathurst day. It was a big event, both front bars were packed, not any more, it was on the telly but no one was watching. On the otherhand the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide is very well attended and popular as an event to attend, but I leave town for it Finally why would any other makers enter this competition? Any technological advantage you might have means nothing because of the strict rules forcing them into these basic cars. Socialism eventually failed as a system of government, socialism applied to car racing may also have a limited future.
Yeah, I remember it .. I can't recall if he was charged in the end though?
