BUT, have some stuff from last year while we wait.

And a bonus from another race (in 2012) at Symmons Plains.

One of my favorite races of the year. Only getting V8 Supercar races in "compressed" form on CBSSN but I'll take what I can get.

Yeah, I live in Norway.. I'm lucky if I find a way to watch it at all :P But I think I'll pay for streaming this year.

https://www.v8supercars.com.au/v8superview seems to have a pretty good solution to the problem of not being an Aussie or a Kiwi :)

No problem mate :) V8 Supercars needs more attention outside Aussieland/Kiwiland.

I don't understand it. While it's similar to NASCAR in being more or less a spec series it's 1000 times more exciting to watch. Also being on road courses and the trade paint attitude of the racing gives the audience a lot more to watch.

Indeed, I think the problem is that it's not "MUUUURICAAA" if I'm honest. Here in europe we usually watch F1 (which I think is boring, don't kill me), rally, rally cross, or some type of touring car stuff (DTM, BTCC, STCC and so on), but it the US it seems to me that it's either indy or Nascar (or some form of oval racing). I bet that V8 supercars would do great in the US though, if only it was available on some major channel.

What your saying is true. I watch F1 as well as Motogp. Indy Car is a lot better because a lot of what they race now is road course. I watch NASCAR with friends but seems like we talk and drink beer more than watch the race. At least until someone wrecks. By the way in Motogp the better racing is more times than not in Moto2 and Moto3.

Yup.. There's actually only one thing on my MUST WATCH list apart from Bathurst 1000, and that's LeMans.

Yes. I think the LMP1 has probably exceeded F1 cars as far as application of technology.

Yeah, I'd say so. And I don't like Bernie :P
