Personperson14 posted:Is there any sanctioning body that isn't batshit loving stupid/insane? I can't think of one. It's just varying degrees of it. The V8 Supercars one isn't too bad. Sure they have had some brain fade moments, but all in all they haven't been too horrible. I don't think CAMS looks after the V8s anymore, I think it is TEGA.

Nah, the best incident with Murphy was the 2002 Bathurst where he copped a 5 minute penalty. Seeing him march off to the toilet after parking the car was gold

Sandown 500 V8 Supercar race was held today. Spoilers below: Jamie Whincup and his co driver won from pole, the first time someone has done that at the 500 since 1997. Sadly it looks like the Red Bull cars will be dominating again in the enduros, with Bathurst coming up soon. It's like opposite day in V8s compared to F1, where Red Bull are dominating and Mercedes is pretty crap (I think the highest Merc was 22nd). Lee Holdsworth had a massive crash, if it is up on Youtube, check it out. 260km/h straight into a tyre bundle

Smorgasbord posted:Yeah I believe so. I was a big Longhurst fan back then, maybe that's why I've always hated that fat prick Morris. Whenever there was an accident or incident in the V8s in the 90s/2000s, Morris was behind it. He was crowned most hated driver in V8s a few years in a row. Love his speech though "Can't wait to go to Roland Dane's place next week"

Kilonum posted:So my description to friends of "It's NASCAR, only it's primarily in Australia, they only race on road and street circuits, and the cars have doors that open and lights that work" is 100% accurate? The chassis, roll cage, suspension and transaxle are the same, no matter who is running what body shell. The outer panels are a mixture of carbon fibre and sheet metal. The motors are really the only thing that splits a Ford from a Holden, Nissan, Volvo or AMG. The AMG V8 seems to be down on power compared to the rest of the motors. Volvo in its first year have been great, and would've been going for a podium spot at Bathurst if they didn't hit the dirty side of the track and smacked the concrete wall.
