V8Supercar v NASCAR poll on SPEED TV
This has just been posted on the SPEED forums in the Sports car forums.
So far it is 90% V8Supercar and 10 % NASCAR, interesting to see what people say. Here is the forum url http://insider.speedtv.com/viewtopic.php?t=60407&sid=8fbd77089e31f3458c66fa9c02071f18 it will be biaes being in a anti-NASCAR Sportscar forum, nonetheless the opinions should be interesting. |

Are they equal to what NASCAR in this country? From what I have heard their leader is the Australian version of the Frances. Anyway, the V8s are cooler, but sadly they dont race in the US and dont get coverage until the off-season. So, while I like the concept, it isnt easily accesable like NASCAR. _________________ <http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...gg187/sig2.jpg> Last edited by Robert Ryan; 18 Nov 2004 at 19:24. |

I agree. IMO Aussie V8's are ok, but they dont have the magnitude that NASCAR can provide, after all we only get to watch V8's for like a few months, then its back to NASCAR for another 9 months. Heck I love playing AV8's on Toca, but I will always love NASCAR more, just becase its not all the way down in Austrailia. _________________ (5)Leadfoot Ultimate Insider Posts: 793 Location: Muskegon, MI Joined: 12 Feb 2003 [Post] Posted: Wed Nov 17, 2004 11:23 pm Post subject: [Reply with quote] V8 Supercars by a mile [icon_exclaim.gif] [icon_exclaim.gif] [icon_exclaim.gif] _________________ <http://home.comcast.net/%7Eleadfoot2...footAvatar.jpg> www.legionoftheindecent.com (7) chkrd_flag Abnormal User Posts: 6016 Location: Somewhere between South Beach and the Everglades Joined: 24 Oct 2003 [Post] Posted: Thu Nov 18, 2004 3:22 am Post subject: [Reply with quote] I think what some people here are trying to say (emphasis on the "I think") is that Trans Am cars start out as a purpose built tube frame racecar, whereas other series such as the BTCC, SWC & Aussie V8 Supers start out as a regular street car unibody (which must be retained) and then they're made into racecars. _________________ <http://www.floridaregionscca.com/pho...tnIMG_8403.jpg> "Run to the front and stay there!" - Barry Waddell |
