The best touring car series in the world right now. You Aussies got to appreciate that. Nascar is only two times per year as good as V8SC (Watkins Glen and Sonoma). BTCC was good during the 90s. DTM was good only for a few years (early 90s), than become as boring as F1 with their plastic cars, that cannot even take a slight crash without falling apart. Enjoy it untill FIA gonna turn it into a stupid "green car" series with some stupid 1600ccm turbocharged engines. Go Commodores, Go Falcons!!!!!
why support a car that is found all over the world and has an identity crisis.is it a Vauxhall, a Chevy or a Daewoo, no wait.. its a Holden... they are ALL GM. The Ford Falcon is built in Aussie an is only found in Aussie and NZ. with Aussie design and an aussie engine. The Falcon has been here for over 50yrs. the commodore is only just hit 30 Go THE MIGHTY FALCON
Thank god they show this live in the UK (wish they showed all the races live). Looks like I'll be up with a dozen cans of Red Bull just to keep me going.
HOW CAN ANY AUSSIE SUPPORT FORD? THEY ARE AMERICAN. HOLDEN ARE NOW OWNED BY GM BUT THEY ARE THE AUSTRALIAN CAR COMPANY. I'M GERMAN(i've lived in the uk since i was 7) AND I CAN'T IMAGINE WATCHING THE No1 AUSSIE MOTORSPORT WITHOUT SUPPORTING THE No1 AUSTRALIAN CAR COMPANY. GO HOLDEN.
@iammarkstrangwardiam As long as its owned by GM and has a GM power plant, it's American. Just like Lamborghini is owned by Audi and has Audi power plants, It makes them Audi's. To be honest, Other then Ford and Holden there really isn't any other car manufacturers in Australia that build cars that would be suitable for V8 Supercars. Kinda stuck with what they have to offer...
I have a video of peter brock that he autographed and put a personal saying underneath it when he was in the holden monaro doing the new zealand targer rally :)
you have to know the history to understand the history or there are many holes in the road of narration. The passion of simplicity can tell more at times than the passion to over indulge
best promo ever
