Was bored last night at home, so I flicked onto motors TV, and caught an hour of Aussie V8 Supercars, which was quite amusing to watch. But after that they had the V8 Brutes - 350bhp pickups. Surely lots of people around here have seen this before?

I was literally laughing out loud at some of the happenings, watching all by myself. Sideways at almost all of the corners, often 3 abreast, sometimes with about 10 cars all in sync. Lots of crashing, shunting and general mayhem, with some Aussie "blokes" commentating.

Easily the best racing I've watched on TV, why don't they show it on mainstream channels? Does anyone else feel the same way as me?

Even better when they talk to the drivers whilst they are racing

It's the dog in the back of the Ute I feel sorry for

Try V8 Supercars. One of the best forms of motorsport.
On Ch 5 and motors. 600bhp Falcons and Commodores.Knocks BTCC into a cocked hat.Unlike F1 where about half the starters drop out, most V8 Supercars are still running at the end.
