It is old footage & just the highlights. But I only have Freeview & regular T.V. channels!
The footage from Bathurst was for me more exciting to watch than highlights from the whole of the F1 season.
I am of course biased, but I think V8 Supercars is the best track racing there is.

I know that with the exception of us few 4dr HSV owners & anyone who has imported a Falcon, that V8 Supercars has no real relevance to any U.K based cars, but the racing is so exciting I'm always surprised that it doesn't get better coverage on mainstream TV.
If Vauxhall do ever import 4dr HSV's, what great advertising it would be for them.
I know the race cars have little in common with the road cars, even the engines are 5.0lt, but they do visual appear the same. Sadly, the VT/VX are now to old a model, there might be the odd privateer who still runs one, but I haven't spotted any recently.

Plenty in common with me, 5.0lt owner present and correct, VT1, Too old a model indeed!!!ha ha. Stiil a few running around in some of the smaller aussie championships that they also show on Motors TV. You right about the V8 supercars, been an avid fan since long before I brought the HSV, Motors TV are a fab channel, brilliant coverage.
