"I plucked first gave it some jandal and fuck yeah" possibly the best post race interview EVER. Lol bloody kiwis. Never seen a crowd so pumped about 2nd place. Blown away by volvo on debut. This is really great for our sport.
TheStockCarStig All I saw on that clip was drivers all over (and quite often off of) the track, hitting each other, and crashing their heavy antiques that they call race cars.
I live in the USA and I have to say the Australian V8 series is by far the most fun to watch. Competitive, good drivers with a little rubbing, and awesome tracks. NASCAR is just a bunch a BS. Thank god we have the Continental Tire, and Tudor Series to watch. The Pirelli challenge is good to. Whincup is the man... awesome racing.
F1 cars can never follow each other like this thanks to all that dirty air. Their circuits also have a lot of slow corners which cause the field to get spread out. Besides that, if they forced themselves to try to follow this close, it is too easy to get major damage..
lllllRBlllll DTM isn't. It is just some 'pretending-to-be-touringcars" by carmakers who think of themself being "premium". Contact is only thanks to driver errors most of the time.
V8 Supercars are so freaking awesome to watch. This is true racing. I hate that I have to torrent it since where I live it is unavailable but damn these races are awesome.
The v8 supercars series have a superview service for international people who don't have it available but it's a paid service and I believe it's $40 for a whole season
Great honest competition with great drivers and cars and no BS regulations, F1 could learn a few things with this series, oh wait, its run by old farts detach from reality and sport.
sneeren Yeah let me push to pass on the highway while i have my upside down aeroplane wings and car with no suspension. Up until the new rule change they resembled little to a road car and gave sweet fuck all back. Now they have some energy recovery/hybrid systems and fuel efficiency that will feed down. Cool and all but no big deal.
As a formula 1 fan I must admit, that this is most exciting last lap I've ever seen so far. F1 sucks compared to this. I found this video a couple years ago and from this time I saw them many times, but even in 2018 I still have no words how awsome aussie racing could be.
WOW!! Crazy. Whincup damn near put McLaughlin in the wall, but Scotty didn't budge! Insane. Also anyone notice Crompton jizzing over Whincup when he got the position, then fell silent when it showed McLaughlin back in front? :P
+SGT EpicSpeed What a load of bullshit. You think Whincrap doesn't know what a bump is? He's given and received many. Just watch the footage. Shane was nowhere near him in the final corner. Whincrap just fucked up his approach to the final corner and had to run wide onto the dirty side of the track and had no traction. And to hear Skaife say that Whincrap should be complimented for not running Shane into the wall at turn 11 was just garbage. Shane was up past Whincraps B pillar which means Whincrap had to give him a racing line. Skaife is a Redbull rooter. I love the look on Whincraps face. He had nothing to say because he FUCKED UP and let a Rookie in Volvo get one up on him.
You kept typing Shane when it's McLaughlin. Sliding due to a small mistake and sliding due to a small bump may have little to no difference of how it looks like from inside the car. What do you expect from Skaife when he's been driving Holdens every since V8 came into the ATCC? Whincup's face was like that because of what he thought what it was at the final corner.
+SGT EpicSpeed Sorry my bad with the Shane. The gizz is my other favorite Kiwi Driver. Having said THAT, there WAS NO BUMP. Let's get that bit straight. What do I expect from Skaife? A truthful account of what's happening on the track. Had Whincrap fed SCOTT into the wall he would have been black flagged because SCOTT was past his B pillar and had every right to a racing line. But Skaife made it sound like Whincrap was a hero for not running him into the wall. Just like he proclaimed Clowndes innocents in the closing laps of the 2014 Bathurst when Clowndes actually had to run off the track in order to take out Frosty. But Mostert won because Whincrap wouldn't listen. Dirty drivers 1.01. Bunch of dry vagina inverted nipple Golden Shower holden driving Hilbillys.
I just want to make it clear that there's a difference between thought and reality. He only realized that there was no contact when he asked his team and looked at the replays. And again, it's just a thought. And I can see where you're coming from and what side you're supporting. I maybe wrong.
Awesome. Both drivers completely on it, with enough respect to give each other exactly one car's worth of racing room but not an inch more. Just brilliant racing. Over here (UK) in the BTCC, a multiple champion would most likely have nerfed, rubbed, pushed, barged or just plain punted a young pretender out of the way for that position. 10/10 to both of them.
Dead right. That was clean racing in extreme circumstances. They are just all so skilled. Either one could have so easily put the other into the wall. Brilliant race and a brilliant series.
I will never EVER get sick of this. I still remember my whole family standing up and yelling at the TV during the final 30 seconds. Great racing. Great sport. Great team.
Simply why the V8 Supercars are the best touring cars in the world, I've been a fan ever since it's been available in the UK on "Satellite TV" I'm a Craig Lowndes fan but Scott McLaughlin will be a champion & if he can drive like this at 20 years of age he just going to get better, I believe he's the real deal........
This is why I love Touring Cars of all types, I'm a huge fan on BTCC over here in the UK and it's just as fun to watch. I'm going to be at Bathurst in October this year though, can't fucking wait!
What a cracking race. V8 racing is the best. Sod F1, this is proper sweat, grime and proper bumper to bumper racing. All Touring racing deserves respect.
@Go Teqno holden and ford will remain but not factory supported unless ford goes to the mustang, merc will probs stay out, volvo will be out in 2018 most likely, im thinking nissan or bmw might join in soon
ImGrumpher I said Fpv, implying the Australian ford. And merc and nissan won't drop out because they only came in a couple years ago. I highly doubt that ford would use the mustang as v8 supercars generally swap engines with four door saloons and coupes.
***** Merc is already out, the 2017 supercar regs is for 4 seat 2 doors to be allowed which fits the mustangs description. when i said nissan might join i meant with an r35 or something along with the altima
I've said 4759385 times and ill say it again, I'm american.... but Aussie racing is the best in the world, supercars, stadium super trucks, improved production, any race at panorama, tour car and muscle car masters... fuuuuck
Haha "Fuck yeeuuh, oops sorry" :P I'm a Nissan fan but man Volvo are looking good :)

Whincup on how he control his car is superb. He knows his car's maximum limit especially on the braking zone and corner speed. He also used his veteran moves to overtake mclaughin. Sadly he has nothing left on his fuel tank on the last turn.
This still gives me goosebumps. As V8SC's transition from channel 7 to FOX, I can't watch the races nor the highlights but I can certainly reflect on races like this. Re the highlights, they are on far too late for me :(
I am a huge Motorsport fan... F1, Touring cars, rally Nascar etc. But I have to say for foot down rubber burning panel to panel racing the Aussie V8 series is just about as good as it gets. Fantastic racing and great to see Volvo back in the Sport. They had a good pedigree under Walkinshaw racing years ago in the BTCC in England. Looking forward to seeing more races this year.
Was sitting on the inside of Turn 8 (0:56) and man oh man.... the atmosphere was amazing. Everyone was exciting and just about everyone had Goosebumps as the flew past.... Best Clipsal 500 memory yet !
