V8 Supercars

[T Verdier]

Best racing going on right now. I just watched the first race of Hamilton and it was amazing. wet weather made it ridiculous.

I've been watching all year and it is easily the best, most action packed racing out there right now. Those guys hard on every single turn.

Was this last weekend a triple race? I watched the first two races and turned it off thinking it was over. Came back an hour later and the telecast was just finishing up.

No doubt about it. V8 Supercars is a good time

I am enjoying the F1 coverage on speed right now. Lewis Hamilton is a pretty cool dude along with his bro, who races and is on a forum I frequent, www.racedepartment.com

There's no dount that V8 supercars is interesting action, but I wouldn't call it the best on Speed right now. Every other corner there was someone locking up the front tires, going off the track. Not to mention the amount of times cars ran into something in the pits. It was ridiculous! Fun to watch, yes. Best racing on Speed, definitely not.

Na, just the 2x200km races.
V8s are easily the best racing on show at the moment, F1 can suck my Dick Tracey.

Ps, Hamilton is an Chlamydia ridden arsehole of a place.

What's better than it? F1? F1 is cool but hardly great racing. What was hamiltons gap in china 8 seconds that's not good racing in my opinion.

[HarryPotter]

I dont believe the gap was that big, it was tight close racing for the most part. Especially on the last couple laps. Hamilton made his way from deep in the field to first. And mark webber was running up like a fuckin champ. He came from way back.

[T Verdier]

Well was over 3 seconds a lap faster for the last 2 laps once he got passed him. It was a great race but normally its not that exciting at all

I've been a regular watcher of the V8's since 2003, but I remember Bathurst weekend since I was very, very young.

It was so good to see Shane van Gisbergen get his first win in the category. Lee Holdsworth in second was also good, as GRM is my favourite Holden team.

For those who haven't seen much of the V8's, the 2010 season was amazing. The second race from Surfers Paradise was some of the best racing I've ever seen. The championship came down to the wire in a thrilling conclusion when the title was effectively decided by the pit crews of the two leading teams; after bluffing each other into staying on slicks on a wet track, the top-3 in points all crashed hard in the closing stages of the penultimate race, leaving it up to the teams to repair the cars in time for them to make the finish of the race.

Here's the finish from Surfers



Bring on Barbagallo!

That's what NASCRAP should have been. Also, some big last names in that vid: Castroneves, Franchitti, Power, Briscoe, Tagliani, Bourdais, Coulthard.....

In the last few years a lot of international drivers have been asking for seats for the endurance races. I think its pretty cool that the supercars are getting international attention.

That'd be Fabian Coulthard- www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabian_Coulthard and Villeneuve was in that race too

The Giz chasing down Whincup, who could forget.

When F1 can race nose to tail and side by side it might become motor racing again.
Until then it's a tyre changing contest.
