The pits were notorious for being very narrow with a high-speed approach. The old speed limit was 60km/h, but it was revised to 40. The race was removedf […]

Some of our circuits - namely Barbagallo, Symmons Plains and Homebush Bay - have very tight pit lanes and very cramped pit boxes. It might look like a joke […]

First off I have to say the broadcast was done in an excellent manner.
They of course made comparisons to NASCAR while explaining the cars and […]

It sounds very different (even excluding the transmission noise).
It's nice to see (or hear) something different in the v8 supercars field. I might actually watch it this year.

It doesn't sound as tinny as the engine in the hot-lap video, probably because […]
