Thanks to Julian who is the main contributor and will be the primary moderator of that forum.
Go have a look, Julian has even created a couple of competitions that we'll be offering prizes ( I think

Julian, you may want to add a brief description for the V8 Supercars racing series

Julian Mayo · Post by **Julian Mayo** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 12:54 pm

Its a bit like the german touring cars, but faster ,louder , and more exciting.
Australian V8s are now racing in several countries. If you get the chance have a look

OK ED,
The series consists of two makes, Ford, & Gen, Motors (holden) running v8 motors, and tightly controlled body parts, mechanicals, and a control tyre.
Speeds are around the 280kmh mark, depending on the track. Grids are usually 32,33, cars. The racing is close,with some biif and barge, on some of the best drivers tracks in the world. It has a feeder series, of some 30 cars, and the competition for seats is huge. Some european drivers have tried and failed, especially at Bathurst, a track not unlike Nurburgring. Visiting GP drivers usually hang on the fence to watch it at Melbourne. Give it a look
