14 Reasons Why V8 Supercars Is The Best Touring Car Series Around
Screw WTCC, move over BTCC, because V8 Supercars is the king of the touring car championships. Here's why!
1. The racing is always close
3. The field is full of top-notch racing drivers
4. Who know how to entertain the crowds
5. They make some great saves
6. There are some close calls!
The Bathurst 1000 is the highlight of the V8 Supercars season, at the iconic and challenging Mount Panorama Circuit.
8. The cars are insanely quick
All cars are front-engined, rear-wheel drive and are powered by 5.0-litre, naturally-aspirated V8 engines with electronic fuel injection, producing between 620 and 650bhp.
10. When they crash, they crash hard
12. It sometimes gets fiery
13. The drifting is brilliant
14. And sometimes it is supported by this brilliantly mad series

This is what NASCAR should have been. Sadly, it was ruined by stupid regulations and those dreadful oval tracks. If NASCAR was like this I would watch every race.
Yes, yes, yes. V8SC on the main page of CT.
I could list another 25 reasons as to why it is insanely good.
Mark Skaife would say āyouāre operating at an extremely high levelā.
Often regarded as the greatest lap of the Mount ever, the āLap Of The Godsā by Greg Murphy in the Top 10 Shootout in 2003. Watch, listen and learn. Amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRzLBFQ5M2Y
If only there was a way to watch it in germany :(
But I agree with Antiprius: This is what NASCAR should be like!
Still waiting on another series to pull a lap of the gods on Bathurst, doesnāt seem likely
Yeah but itās never on UK TV. Sucksā¦.
I absolutely adore V8 Supercars, it is such fun to watch!
Just funny how it was uploaded seven hours ago, before any Australian is up lol
I liked it better when it was just Holden and Ford.. But still the best series
NASCAR is for the idiots who canāt follow a race when cars turn both directions
