U-Holden vs. Ford ufile, kodwa hhayi ku-Bathurst 1000: kungani i-Commodore iqhudelana ne-Mustang V8 supercar race iyihithi yakamuva esikhungweni samasiko ezimoto sase-Australia ngemuva kwe-Falcon, AMG, Nissan neVolvo | Umbono

I-V8 Supercars manje ukuphela kwendawo ongabona kuyo umbango we-Holden-Ford osekhona nanamuhla.

I-Holden vs. Ford kwaba isisekelo esakha umgogodla wesiko lezimoto zase-Australia amashumi eminyaka.

Okungenani kwakunjalo kuze kube yilapho zombili izinhlobo ziyeka ukwenza izimoto lapha, bese iHolden yashabalala ngokushesha. Manje i-Holden isihambile ngokusemthethweni, futhi umbango we-showroom osedlulele emagcekeni esikole, ezindaweni zokusebenza kanye nezinkulumo-mpikiswano ze-pub izizukulwane ngezizukulwane zonke awuseyinto yesikhathi esedlule.

Kodwa kunesisekelo esisodwa sokugcina salokhu kuqhudelana okwake kwenzeka - i-Bathurst 1000. Ngempelasonto ezayo, u-Holden Commodores no-Ford Mustangs bazobhekana ngqo e-Mt Panorama ukuze bathole udumo emjahweni omkhulu wezimoto wase-Australia.

Nakuba umqondo othi "win on Sunday, sell on Monday" womjaho wezimoto wanyamalala eminyakeni eminingi edlule, kwakusenento ebalulekile kuwo womabili amabhrendi ekunqobeni i-Bathurst 1000. e-Bathurst kwakusho ukuthi inkampani yayisesimweni esihle, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yayiyini. eqhubeka endlini yombukiso.

Uma sibheka izindodla zemali ezishintshe izandla phezu kwezinhlobo zakamuva zeHSV, Holden neFord kulo nyaka, njengama-HSV Maloo GTSR W1 amabili adayiswe ngaphezu kuka-$1 million inye, kubonakala sengathi i-Australia ayikakulungeli ukuyeka. kusuka embangweni. okwamanje.

Kodwa siyaphi sisuka lapha? Kwenzekani ngesiko lethu lezimoto liqhubekela phambili kulo mhlaba ongaziwa ngaphambilini? Futhi ingabe ikusasa le-Bathurst 1000 lizohlala lapho i-Commodore kufanele ipakwe unomphela futhi ithathelwe indawo yiChevrolet Camaro ngo-2023?

Lena imibuzo efika enhliziyweni yomthandi wezimoto wase-Australia. Ngisho noma ungazijahi izimoto ezinkulu ezingama-V8, wonke umuntu othanda izimoto wangempela uyawuhlonipha umjaho. Ngakho-ke, okwenzeka ethrekhi kuzothinta okwenzeka emphakathini obanzi wabathandi bezimoto.

Isizathu silula: U-Bathurst usize ekulolongeni isiqondiso semboni yezimoto yase-Australia. Lesi isizathu esenza ukuthi abakwaFord bakhe i-Falcon GT kwase kuba yi-GT-HO, futhi kwaba nesandla ekwakhiweni kweHolden Monaro, Torana, neCommodore enamandla angu-V8. Cishe kuqinisekile ukuthi abaqoqi bebengeke babe nama-HSV abangachitha izigidi kuwo ukube bekungengenxa ka-Peter Brock nebhizinisi lakhe le-HDT Commodore, elasungulwa ukuze kuxhaswe ukusesha kwakhe kuka-Bathurst.

Ngo-1971, uMoffat wawina i-Bathurst 500/1000 yesibili ku-GT-HO Isigaba Sesithathu.

Iqiniso lokuthi uphiko lwe-General Motors' Specialty Vehicles (GMSV) lukhethe ukuhlala kulo mdlalo ne-Camaro - noma ngabe izosebenzisa ingxenye encane yokutshalwa kwezimali kuka-Holden - kuwuphawu lokubaluleka kuka-Bathurst. 1000. I-GMSV kungenzeka ukuthi ayidayisi iCamaro lapha, kodwa ngokuyinamathisela ku-grille yomjaho, ithumela uphawu kubathandi bezimoto kuleli zwe ukuthi leli bhizinisi elibucayi e-Australia.

Kodwa awukwazi ukumisa ukuhamba kwesikhathi, futhi njengoba izingane eziningi zikhula esikhathini lapho kungekho khona ukuncintisana kwe-Holden vs. Ford, okwenzeka e-Bathurst kudinga ukuvela. Yebo, ukwethulwa okuhleliwe kwe-Mustang neCamaro ngo-2023 kufanele kunikeze isiqalo esisha, kodwa abahleli beSupercars kufanele bathole indlela yokugcina ezemidlalo ziqhubeka.

ICamaro izongena esikhundleni seCommodore ngo-2023.

Enye yezindlela ezingcono kakhulu zokwenza lokhu ukuletha izinhlobo eziningi zemikhiqizo esigabeni, ikakhulukazi manje njengoba sekuvulele umnyango wama-coupes. Kuke kwaba namahemuhemu unyaka wonke mayelana nomkhiqizi wase-Europe okubikwa ukuthi ukhombisa intshisekelo futhi kungaba kuhle ukuletha uhlobo olufana ne-BMW, ​​kodwa ama-Japan amabili i-Toyota ne-Nissan ahlala engaba sobala kakhulu.

I-Supra isifinyelele esigabeni empilweni yayo lapho idinga khona ukukhangisa okusha ukuze igcine izinga lokuthakasela liqhubeka, kuyilapho ukufika kwe-Z entsha ngo-'22, kuhlanganiswe nefa lemijaho lendawo yakwaNissan, kufanelana kahle. 

Ingabe i-Supra kufanele ijoyine igridi ye-supercar?

Kungasiza futhi ukwandisa izethameli ze-V8 supercar, kusukela kubabukeli bamanje be-Holden vs. Ford kubalandeli be-JDM abakhulele ekudleni kwe-Playstation. I-Gran Turismo imidlalo kanye Fast and Furious ibhayisikobho.

Ukuthi noma yiluphi lwalezi zinhlobo lubhalisa nganoma yisiphi isikhathi - kungaba yiqembu elisekelwa yifekthri noma ukumane uvunyelwe ukusebenzisa i-Supra ne-Z Supercars - kungaba isikhathi esichazayo hhayi nje sezemidlalo, kodwa nekusasa lesiko lezimoto e-Australia. .

I-Bathurst 1000 ibilokhu iwukubonakaliswa kwezimoto esizishayelayo noma esifisa ukuzishayela futhi njengoba izidingo zomphakathi wezimoto wase-Australia zishintsha kubonakala sengathi sekuyisikhathi somjaho ukwenza lezo zinguquko nazo.
