No kidding. They must save tires since they are only on 2 of them about 1/4 of the time

One of youngest lads friends has just started in V8 Supercars. Todd Hazelwood. My son has known him for years and they used to race karts together. To see those cars in the flesh at warp speed is awesome.

Australian V8's is what NASCAR has not been for a long time now.

My favorite racing series.

Wall to wall balls out foot to the floor racing.

Just a Kiwi ( Scott McLaughlin ) showing the Ozzie's how its done
Australian V8 Supercar Series is undoubtably the best form of racing full stop.

Not all. Nascar does a couple of road courses each season.

True but the cars have nearly nothing in common with their production inspirations...it may actually be nothing.

A Toyota Camry from the lot is not the same as the one on the track. Blasphemy!!




I need to figure out how to follow the V8 series every time I see it, it blows my mind.

I know your being facetious but when I see a Camry, the next thing on my mind is not NASCAR. If NASCAR fans are buying Camri after seeing Toyota on the track, they have better imaginations than me.

V8 supercar and DTM on the other hand....
