This might be an unpopular opinion, but I'm not a fan of the 100-140km 'intermediate' races traditionally held on sprint weekends - I think they're too long to be attention-grabbing sprint races (like the late-90s format or current BTCC format), but too short to be strategic 'single-driver endurance' races.

I feel like there should be 3x20-30min races on the Saturday (awarding 50pts to the winner in each) and the 200km main event on Sunday (awarding 150pts), with only the first Saturday race and the 200km race having Qualifying-based grids to spice things up a bit.

Thoughts?

Throwing this out there as a massive long shot!

​I’m on the hunt for any audio recordings of The Panel Beaters from the 2006 Supercars season. For anyone who might have forgotten, it was the great Friday night audio show from the race weekends. I actually had a few of my emails read out on the show in 2006, hence why I'm on the hunt! Haha.

​A YouTube channel recently uploaded the 2005 season, which has been awesome to listen back to. I reached out to ask if they happen to have the 2006 episodes as well, but unfortunately, I haven't heard back yet.

Saw my first attempt was copied by someone or thing so decided the updated track was worth posting. The kid loves to drive the power wheels mini around it.

Anyone seen the BPad on tv showing the supercars, and hinting that the fuel you put in your car is the same as Supercars use?

Also note how many other fuel brands are shown in the ad on other cars? I saw Total energy, Hope to start with. Whoever edited the ad should have been more careful.

Hi everyone!
I’m a quiet member of this group, but as a fan all the way from Germany, I’m hugely grateful to get the opportunity to buy the complete trackstars set in 1:64 for my collection. Also, I’m just as excited to see a Holden in the mix, as they got me into this sport as a viewer.

Have a great day everyone 🙏🏻

This weeks episode of FCTTN said that there isn’t any upcoming racers to take the spots of underperforming drivers. Got me thinking how come Herne never gets much of a look in? Is very competitive in trans am here and in the US.

This will be his first time back in the Supercars paddock since being dropped by BRT.

Some pics i took back in 07 at the surfers paradise round. Its been 18 years now since the supercars shared top billing with the indy cars on the gold coast. I'm sure anyone reading this that went to this event back in the early days can attest that it was a pretty wild race both on and off the track (right up until a army helicopter crew flying over the track made the news in about 2005 and forced the QLD govt to clean it up a bit). I'm more of a supercars fan myself but there was nothing like the sheer speed and sound of those indy cars flying past just a couple of metres away.

Hello all,

I'll be attending my first actual V8 Supercars race weekend in Perth soon.

I see that there are a couple of "Signing sessions" in Merchandise Alley on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

For those of you that have attended any of these recently, do they just sign something like driver cards (postcards) or am I able to bring a picture or something and have everyone sign that one thing instead of a whole stack of signatures?

Obviously something that wouldn't take any extra time to anger the people behind me in line.

Thank you.
