V8 Supercars

After all the kerfuffle about F1, I happened upon a programme about the V8 Supercar series in Surfers Paradise, Australia the other day (on Motors TV).

What a brilliant race! And what brutal driving!

And what was even better was the total lack of commentary for the whole 1 hour programme (apart from very occasional 30-second interruptions from a bloke in the pits). All you heard was the noise of the engines and occasional pit radio transmissions. Marvellous!

I had more entertainment watching that than from the whole season of F1!

Did you guys see any of Bathurst? The last 15 laps were mental!!

Have you ever been to Silverstone? The commentary there last for an entire day! I think I will wear ear plugs next time, but how will I hear the cars? mind you, it's not easy to hear them with someone shouting through a loud speaker all day when there are loud speakers all around the track.

Oh yes! Bunched up traffic, tired drivers and light rain - and did they stop for slicks? Of course not! Full speed on worn slicks in rain...
