V8 Supercars used to be televised quite readily over hear, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen anything more than highlights. I used to enjoy watching it. I have to say, it lost its shine a little when they went to to a spec spaceframe, plus now that the Commodore and Falcon are really no more it just doesn’t seem the same. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

The whole of Bathurst was broadcast last year on MotorsportTV.
Will have to wait 'til tomorrorw to see if it's on their schedule for this year.  |

I’ve only got Freesat which Motorsport appears on sporadically when they can be bothered to keep up with their bills. It’s been on for last few months but disappeared off the EPG recently. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Best bit is that for the rest of the year, the circuit is an open, public road. Took a hire car for a lap or two when over there a few years ago...... Imagine a country lane with apex on each corner - oh and TWO WAY at the same time.
Vin yard in the middle, houses and driveways onto the track and a set of traffic lights to boot. And yes, it was a V8 Holen I hired  TY&GN
10 years in a WOLF, WIMIK and Snatch and this is all I have to show! |

You don’t need to to go half way round the world to find a legendary race circuit that’s a public road for the other 51 weeks of the year. Le Mans is my destination of choice every June. Click image to enlarge 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS |

I have fond memories of watching it on the BBC in the early-mid 1980's when it was the James Hardy 1000!!!
Stunning circuit and racing, nothing like going to Brands on a Sunday!!! Cheers Don. |
