Aussi racing

Well I have my sat dish connected and about half the channels configured, with about 300 to go!
Interesting thing I noticed is the Aussi V8 Brutes, very good racing series and the only thing missing is the Cayenne!

On another note the manufactures are having a championship race down under and it's due to air on Motors TV on the 5th of December...some of the manufactures are Porsche, TVR, Lambo's, Lotus, Vettes, Morgan, Ferrari, BMW, Mercedes, and more!

Have any of you seen these races?

Sure have

By V8 Brutes I'm guessing you're referring to the utes? (2 door vehicles, tray on back?) More of a demolition derby in that category than true motor racing, but fun to watch nevertheless.
Don't know what you mean about the Cayenne missing...it's not a ute!

Y'know I'm not quite sure what the second series you're referring to is! Sounds along the lines of "Nations Cup", but I didn't know there were Morgans or Mercedes in that series.

See http://www.procar.com.au for more details

P.S. Go to the image gallery, open a thumbnail picture, go to properties, copy the address into another browser window, and replace the 'm" with "h". This will give you access to the media-only photographs.

Thanks

I may be wrong with the Cayenne...but it would be cool to see it run with them.

It is the Nations cup I was talking about, maybe the morgan and mercedes were missing...not sure.
I must have watched that damn channel for two days, so it all kind of ran together...but I do remember the Porsche winning the GTC class with ease.

The other cool series to watch is the DTM, but with only Mercedes, Audi and Opel it's pretty basic...but fun to watch them audi's tangle with the Mercedes...and well the Opel guys just seem to be last.

There has been a lot of great road racing on Speed lately on the weekends. The Aussie road race series (Touring Cars) has been great, not to mention full coverage of the SCCA run-offs at Mid-Ohio.

Watched more weekend television the last few weeks than ever.

Wait and see if the last round of the V8 Supercar Series from Eastern Creek is shown on your station. Nice bit of road rage between 2 of the drivers.
BTW did anyone see the Bathurst 24hr race that was on 2 weeks ago?

I will watch for it.

Motors Tv seems to be either a Brit channel or an Aussi channel, so I am sure they will show it eventually.

I can't wait to see the Nations cup
