So true, and the Aussies love it :puke: 9 hours sitting infront of the TV for me, and the catch the last half hour of Top Gear :mosh: Will be even better if Murphy repeats last year, that was awesome.

Grant 4 Report post Posted October 8, 2004 Who are you wanting to win? I am going for my old favourite - Castrol/ Perkins Motorsport VY Commordore with Paul Dumbrell/Tony Longhurst/Steven Richards/ Jim Richards at the wheel. Jim Richards is a legend. Apart from that I suppose I will be cheering for Murph. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grant 4 Report post Posted October 8, 2004 not in front of the TV, V8 supercars are gay! A great well constructed educated arguement here.What's gay about it? The Aussie V8 Supercar racing is some of the best closest tin top racing in the world, with Bathurst being the pinnacle of this. Not too much gay about that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30_318i 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2004 Yeah nothing gay about an old-school 600 hp V8 with no driver aids (f**k, what does that make our cars then?). The DTM cars in comparison, well... I reckon it will be a Kmart, SBR and Castrol Perkins top 3, but not too sure on the order. Then again, HRT, Garry Rodgers Motorsport and Ozemail Falcon could pack a suprise. Skaife is desperate.

The Aussie V8 Supercar racing is some of the best closest tin top racing in the world, with Bathurst being the pinnacle of this. Not too much gay about that 600hp out of old technology, cars that only get up to 300km on conrod straight. I would love it if they brought back the same competition that ruled bathurst in the 80s eg skylines, jaguars etcpeople argue that its action racing, lots of crashes etc, well only because of the violent understeer in damn heavy cars im sick of the steriotipical people that are involved with V8 supercars "ugh.. ford, holden is so better" that say anything else other than australian cars is sh*t eg hating japanese/euro etc I get lots of these examples at my work (road contracting) one guy was telling me how he could beat anything in his clubsport, later telling me the only car that could beat him was a GTR skyline, and that didnt seem to matter to him because according to him the GTR skyline just has a holden straight six in it anyway, with 2 turbos on it but in the end, everyone to their own Edited October 8, 2004 by bmwsparkle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(and not the other way round...) So in effect they are Holdens (VLs) powered by Nissan... :banghead: Anyway, I dont agree that the V8 supercars are gay, I just dont think that they are my cup of tea... Televise the drifting, now theres a sport! Last week the dodgiest looking cefiro there was primer grey with a black dust coat... Look under the bonnet and HELLO!!! R32 RB26DETT sitting in there... DAMN!! Anyway, Im getting off topic, I wont be watching it from start to finish - i just get bored watching cars going round the track doing the same thing... IMHO after about lap 20 its all the same... its like watching test cricket when they play defensively (you know - deflect the ball etc) or golf on TV - Ive seen more excitement at a retirement home... I might have a look at some stage during the day, if time allows it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andrew Report post Posted October 8, 2004 at least the V8s can be watched regularly - how often do you see DTM on TV (which is dominated by the same English dude driving a Merc all the time) Last I heard the weight of a V8 supercar was around 1400 kg including driver etc... OMG is that lighter than an e36? The V8 supercars have virtually no similarities to the road cars so I don't know why people would compare them in that regard. Personally I like watching the V8s and also the Carrera Cup Racing. My fave would have to be motorbike racing - those dudes are crazy. F1 is .. meh.. now. Go Murph!

The V8 supercars have virtually no similarities to the road cars so I don't know why people would compare them in that regard. yeah that would be about right - apart from a roll cage and a drivers seat there is no interior or anything.... and as for E36s - they understeer hard when you got crap tyres on the front!The V8s that I love to watch would have to be the Brutes... those utes are the sh*t - they get it sideays and they ram each other if they get off the right line etc - I love seeing them coming up to a corner side by side and having a pushing battle to try and get back on the right line!!!

(seriously how much fun can that be?)But damn they pull the crowds for some reason. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah the V8 Brutes are awesome. Also most of the drivers are just rich guys who can't drive too well, so the results are always funny.Good entertainment.
