Marketing has had a huge influence on the V8 supercars... Any sport in Australia really.


The beauty of the old cars was they had their own strengths and weaknesses, the Sierras were jets at the start of the race but as the race went on the 650hp fried the tyres and the M3 then had an advantage, same
as the GTRs great at the start but when the tyres went off the Commodes and M3 were all over them.. Ive watched the footage a fair bit latley and IMHO the racing is better.... Maybe I watched the footage with rose coloured glasses

Thats right a ford badge on your group c falcon got you 30 sparkplugs and an oil filter unless your name was Jhonson or Moffat.

But to further my last rebuttle to fpv look at nrl vs superleauge starting wage here would be 50-100k a year and in superleauge its near double so we loose our boys to the english and french (or union) and when we talk of raising the salery cap their crys of pooer clubs running out of money.....


Well that just it there was real racing nowdays an evo and a wrx vs a Clubspot and a GT or F6 would be good racing wether its winton or bathurst!
