This was the first time I really sat and watched the Australian V8 Supercars, and all I have to say is -- what's not to like?!? The track was spectacular, the cars are amazing, the drivers are unbelievably talented, and the racing action was close. And the cars are fast! Where else can you see four-door sedans do more than 200 mph?
But wait! There's more! They have a driver named Frosty Winterbottom. There was fire on the track (thankfully driver David Besnard was safe). And the best past was the drama right up to the last lap, with Garth Tander holding off Craig Lowndes.
Looking forward to the Gold Coast 600 in a couple of weeks, which adds international drivers as co-drivers (and a lot of names that we know in the United States). I'm intrigued by the addition of the V8 Supercars to the 2013 schedule in Austin. Hmmm. May have to add that one to my travel itinerary.
What did you think of the V8 Supercars?
