I'll attempt the wake up but Sky+ will be set as a more likely outcome.

Wow!

During the off season I forget just how exciting this race series is.

The view of the cars 4 wheel drifting round turn 8 to within millimetres of the concrete wall at 150mph was incredible.

So was Scotty Mclaughlin's front row qualifying in the Volvo for race 2.

A lap of the Adelaide track with Scotty: http://www.v8supercars.com.au/view/videos/scott-mc...

The last lap between Wincup and Mcglaughlin was the best advert you'll ever see for what is possibly the best tin-top racing on the planet!

Me thinks the Volvo team are going to do quite well this year!...

depends on your TV, on the Big panny by my desk it was watchable, by the big Sammy behind my desk basically unwatchable

Hi all,
Just wanted to let you know that afer re-tuning my freeview AGAIN yesterday,
I found a new internet based channel "motors tv" #240 which just happened to be showing "live" both races from Adelaide today! They are repeating these tonight and tomorrow and well worth a watch esp as one of the cars ends up racing with just 3 doors on!!
Also about to stream live NASCAR tonight too.
How good does it get for motorsport fans??
P.S The quality of the streaming is the same as standard def on the tv.

I just so happened to be in Adleaide for one day only (today) with work.

Managed to spend all day at the track. What a day, they really know how to put on a great day of Motorsport.

The final race was very interesting. I'll definitely be watching more of this series now, I'd say one of the most exciting racing to watch.
