From memory it was on TV One, Shell Helix Motorsport with Geoff Bryan, or even possibly was sponsored by Mobil back then ;)

The racing is so exciting, and argy bargy, whats not to like?

It leave WTCC in the dust thats for sure. Who wants to listen to low revving diesels and FF chassis's, with the same team locking out the front 3 places at most races?

Watching the OZ v8s in person is stunning.

Go the Giz, this is his year hopefully :)


Exactly. No true racing fan will disagree. When it comes to it the V8s is the most competitive series in the world.


Don't no about that DTM and Super GT in Japan are very competitive.


Its true. While they are awesome seriies the entire field is not as close as V8s

Does weight still get added to drivers cars that have been doing well in Japans Super GT series? Thats a big reason why it stays close.

Makes DTM and the V8 alot more genuine in being closely fought.
