It's good racing, though Bathurst is spoiled by the safety car interventions, but I don't buy into the red V blue BS that goes on. I actually follow a driver or team rather than the vague notion that they drive something similar to a road car. None of them drive Alfas anyway, so I really have no manufacturer alliance.

The Holden Ford rivalry runs deep for this race it has since I can remember it is hard to stop seeing it in this way even if they are not really the same anymore its the romantics of it lets face we humans can ignore the obvious sometimes but you are talking about a lifetime of going for one over the other its in our blood.
