Was a repeat, first shown on Sunday afternoon.

Brilliant race, next one is 4/5/6 December, Sydney Telstra 500. Don't know when Motors TV are showing it, should be Sunday, 6th December in the arvo again.

Keep an eye out for the V8 Utes from Perth at the end of the week. Some of the races have been a week or two late and only Bathurst was live this year!

ETA: Sydney 500 is this weekend, but can't tell when its being shown. I'll let you's know if I find out.

ETA 2: It wont be shown until 13 Dec around 4pm ish.

I think this year the Holden's are using a 6l V8 (LS2???), the Ford's the 5.4l 3-valve.

Intake restrictors and rev limiters are used to control power output???

I'm sure someone will put me right as needed.

I'm pretty sure both Holden and Phruad use the same engines, they are specially made for these cars and are limited to 5L by the race rules.

Maybe it's the Utes using the 6.0 litre?

I heard it during commentary on one of the early season races. Was pretty sure they had been using the 5.7 after the 5.0 iron block. Then went to the 6.0 when the VE started racing.
Again, may have been the Utes as they are much closer to retail spec, CD player included?

I cede to the more knowledgeable.

Both sides still use a 5 litre iron block, limited to 7,500rpm and all must use the MoTec controller.

The V8 Supercars are nothing at all like your standard car, 5L iron block, rev limited etc. The Fords and Holdens are very similar to keep the racing exciting. They might look the same but there is only about a 15% common parts with your off the showroom floor model.

Here is the website link. www.v8supercars.com.au

The V8 Brute Utes are very similar to what you can buy just with uprated rubber and pads etc. The V8 Supercars are all custom built, Harrop Engineering does alot of the race Spec parts build ups etc.
