yea only a few. Its usually a huge left turn followed by a long straightaway. A lot of cars end up in the walls because going through those turns isnt as easy as they look to the inexperienced drivers. The running joke here is that nascar drivers only know how to turn left ...

I think that's been the problem with the few drivers we sent over there, the fuckers were used to turning both ways and they kept running into walls :)

We have some very long tracks, our big event of the year, the one that drivers come for from all around the world to be a second driver for is at a track that is 6.2ks long (about 4 miles) and they had to limit the cars to 302kph because the cars were getting to fast on the back straight. That back straight has seen more kangaroo strikes than any other race circuit and fastest strike was at about 280kph

Grave Digger is still running with one of the boys in the seat (although because of the east/west thing it appears there is multiples of some of the trucks running in different comps around the states). I saw and event from last year on TV recently and Grave Digger was being driven by Charlie P(something) because the Anderson son that took over from Dennis Anderson was at another event. There was also a second Max D not being run by Mentz. We don't get it on TV here enough to keep up with it but it's fun to watch when we do see it.

It's our version of tintop racing. You guys have NASCAR and we have V8 Supercars. Until recently the cars they race were close to production cars available to buy for on road use. The series was started with the premise if "race on Sunday, sell on Monday" and the cars used to have to be direct models available on the road. But the last 15 years or so that changed to really only having the same badge. But we've had Holden Commodores and Ford Falcon Taxi's for years and for the most part of V8 Supercars they were replicas of both those cars.

btw our cars are true V8 monsters that would annihilate any supercar. If im not mistake the australian "supercars" are basically very similar to Nascars but much less powerful builds. That being said Nascar started with production cars and still used them until not too long ago ...

Funny story, Nascar racing originated with backwood bootleggers suping up their cars to outrun cops during 'likker runs. :lol:

We also have the American Le Mans, the 12 hour sebring and few others where they're basically all supercars, not stock cars. The corvette team usually dominates those races nowadays

Of course yours are faster, ours a speed limited to 302 or 305 kph, even with speed limiters they max out at about 330kph but none of our racing is about flat out speed. Our racing was always about endurance and getting the most out of a road car, it wasn't until well into the 2000's that one of our touring cars couldn't be bought sans racing gear and driven on the road. It was never about who could make the fastest racing car, we have F1 for that, we have 12 hour and 24 hour enduros for that, we have Porsche cups and formula3 for flat out racing.

Since the inception of V8 Supercars as it is we also now race the ute version of the tintop which is basically just a two door version of each with no weight in the rear end. We've also introduced Aussie Cars which are miniature versions of the V8's and this year we've introduced diesel Dual cab ute racing. We also still have truck racing on many of the same circuits we race the cars on but they are only single axle prime movers to keep the weight down.

It's not a regular thing because we mainly race closed circuits or specialised street circuits but there is one track in the country area of NSW that has a lot of bushland surrounding it. Racing drivers from all around the world bust their balls to race at the circuit in any sort of car because it's such a tough track and the elevation difference is massive, there has been races where it's snowing at the top and almost summer weather at the bottom. When they do 12 and 24 hour races there kangaroos coming out of the fog is nothing unusual. But it's rare on most other tracks in the country

yea we also have F1 and the IndyCar series out here but those are not really cars in a lot of peoples eyes, and they also cant fight for position like they do in nascar. Driving a nascar at that high speed, in those packs and for that long(we have 500-600 mile races) is the pinnacle of racing. Not those porsche cups or any of the other stuff we have out here like the 24 hour rolex of Daytona. These cars take far more skill to drive/race than any of those cars. Its not just about speed, if it was i have buddies with dragsters in their garages than can blow any of the cars were talking about out of the water. Its about the total package in the world of racing, and no one comes close to touching nascar imo. Nascar is far from being "just about speed"
 
Yeah, yeah, NASCAR is the pinnacle of racing, just like World Series baseball is a competition that includes the entire world as the name suggests.

lmao are you implying the the best baseball team in the MLB wouldnt completely annihilate any other team on this planet? bahahhahaha man you must really not be familiar with the sport if that's what you're implyin. We created the sport, and the worlds #1 baseball league is run out here so its fair to call it the world series. If you're good enough then one day you might get a chance to play in the biggest league of them all.

And when im saying nascar im talking about stock car racing in general, has nothing to do with countries. Racing stockcars is harder and takes far more skill than driving production cars. Every driver will literally tell you the same thing.
 
Yeah, yeah, let me know when that bubble you live in bursts and I'll help you see the rest of the world exists outside of it. :p
 
This might be the first time i've ever heard anyone imply the MLB and the World Series isnt the pinnacle of baseball. :lol: You just outdo yourself everytime man.

And dude, the best players from "the rest of the world" play in our league
 
And this ISN'T the first time I've seen you read something into someone elses words that wasn't there just to try and make yourself appear right. Unlike me, you don't outdo yourself, you repeat the same thing time and time again. Congratulations you win!
 
do you not know what pinnacle means you dumb australian hick? Or are you having trouble with what WORLD SERIES means? A series of games that is played by the two best teams in this world. The best baseball teams in the world reside in the United States and play in the MLB. That is pretty much a fact and not an opinion. What you always do is make stupid comments without knowing what int he world you're talking about.
