Guys,
Our V8 Supercar series bears NO Resemblence to NAScar. The only similarity is that both series cars run V8's.
V8 Supercar is our "premier" series for want of a better description. There are only two manufacturers, Ford and Holden (GMH).
Downunder, it's presumed you're either a Ford or a Holden fan - that's just the way it is

"We" race hard down here...but for the most part clean

.
A whole host of very talented drivers and well prepared teams...lots of "our" guys have made it in international motorsport coming out of the V8 ranks; both drivers and engineers.
Oh yeah...in our house NOTHING gets in the way of Bathurst viewing...it's the "holy grail" of weekends

!
Cheers,
Lisa
PS - I'm not having a dig at NAScar...hell I'll watch any form of motorsport as long as it's not a procession...
