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
