    O/T The V8s are coming!

    The V8 Supercar series is to race at the new GP track, Austin, Texas

    AUTO RACING - V8: Supercars Headed To Texas In 2013

    I'm fascinated to see how this goes down with the NASCAR crowds. I think it will open a few eyes as to how this sort of racing should be done on road courses. I can't wait to see what sort of reception it gets.
    2nd place in the big quizz challenge!

    I say bring 'em on. I have been watching the taped replays of the Aussie V8's on Speed the last year or so and they do put on a decent show. I wish our "stock" cars were more like theirs (you know, actually looking like "stock" car one might see on the street). I don't like the fact that the slightest bit of contact brings a penalty, but,, hey, each series has its rules. I wonder how the Aussie V8's would do on an oval? No plans to do that as of yet, but I think it would be pretty cool.

    Since there is no Aussie V8 in the USA forum, and the Nascar forum covers stock car racing in the US, it seems like the perfect place for this thread to be posted....

    There are forums for touring cars and something called "national racing" take your pick.

    It's fine. A rubbing/contact is allowed but punting is more likely to get you a penalty.

    Yep. Wanna see how fast a NASCAR thread on the IRL forum would get booted?

    Nothing wrong with this thread apart that it's now been ruined.
