Whats production about a V8 supercar. The whole series is boring. Its about time they started driving cars that we can actually buy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't that far away from Nascar where they put the bloody template over the body - all identical.Like the idea of others coming in though, just don't think controlled everything is the way to go.

It's about time these things became proper race cars.There's already production car racing if you're into watching that.You can't really complain about V8 Supercars just because it's not the type of racing you want. That's like complaining that your Jim Beam isn't Jack Daniels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was a turbo class or something along those lines I think these days you'd get quite a crowd to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
