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!

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...
