V8 Supercars rock. Here's what Darrell Waltrip had to say about them last year.

And Bathurst is just epic. Egad, what a racetrack.

thanks much

You sir . . .are the man!!

I like this course a lot. Looks like fun.

He just mentioned they are going to be in Austin, TX in May? Sounds cool.

What an amazing place. If I could drive one track outside of the U.S., forget Monaco, forget Le Mans, this is it.

Also, if NASCAR ran a race like this I would actually pay to see it...

I was considering catching a few winks before the GP. That's not happening now.

Thanks, dammit.

Wow. That was a big off there. Lucky he bled off a lot of speed before he actually hit something.

I don't have to be at work for another
checks watch
Five hours?
Sleep is overrated anyway Crap.

Just - DAMN!

Those last few laps were something else. 0.313 seconds between the top two cars after over 6 hours of racing. Nice.

Thanks so much for posting this, I would have missed it.

What an amazing drive from Whincup! I can't imagine racing under that kind of pressure and finishing without even enough fuel for the cool-down lap.

Thanks for posting the link - made my evening.

pretty berkeleying awesome

Wow! Reynolds faster up the mountain, but Whincup makes enough gap on the downhill to hang on to it.

For three laps.

Thanks for the post!

Lots of other good videos on their official Youtube channel. The comparison of the 2012 Ford to the 1963 winning Ford Cortina Mk 1 GT is interesting.

TV tends to flatten inclines. Look at the maximum grade on the map firedgreencorado posted. Almost a 1 in 6 grade !! Not much wonder DW was losing his lunch.

the last lap.

I don't care what anyone says, this is the BEST form of racing anywhere.

I wanna go to Austin in May so bad I can't see straight.

Here's a link to the 1978 race
