V8 (Repco} Supercars

With the next race coming up this weekend, was wondering if anyone here follows the Aussie V8 Supercars (Repco Supercars), it's mustangs and camaros starting this season (camaros have been filling up top 10 even triggering parity review soustangs can catch up), using modified coyote and LT V8s, started following it this season and I am completely sold, has been a little rough catching the races live because of time zone differences, but ones I can't make I have been watching next morning. For anyone interested here is one of the more memorable moments from this season: https://youtube.com/watch?v=cMp55aVYk7Y

Pretty exciting races to finish out the season Brock Feeney in the #88 Camaro won Saturdays race but Brown the points leader finished second and clinched the championship.

You would assume the Sunday race would be a yawner....and you would be wrong.


Brown gets spun out to 17th Feeney gets a rough driving and dangerous driving in the pit road penalties.

A whole host of rough driving calls through out the field had the announcers shaking their heads over all the red mist.

Brown pitted later than everyone for both mandatory stops and drove through the field to put a huge exclamation mark on his championship with the win

The 888 Red Bull Team finish 1/2 in the drivers championship and also win the constructers championship.

Chevy Power FTW

Next year will see some new blood and plenty of driver changes with the Toyota GR Supra's joining the series

If you like Nascar on a road course you would love this series.

I’ve been really impressed with SVG’s run into NASCAR. That guy has a shit ton of talent. I’ve heard really good things about the V8 super cars but haven’t seen any of the races live.

They are always shown on tape here unless you stream them online.

I have been following it since the 90's.

Scott McLaughlin in Indy Car won a couple V8 SC Championships.

There is couple more trying Nascar Brodie Kostecki last years champion and Cam Waters

Very competitive racing that Nascar could do well to emulate like getting rid of the gas cans and using fueling rigs.

I cannot believe they still do that when every major series in the world has switched for safety reasons.
