Crazy things always happen in the good ol' V8s, so I'll post any clips here that are good.....Yes I know I spelt Australia wrong! :doh:


Here is one from the recent Symmons Plains event in Tasmania.

Jamie Whincup doing a 360 and recovering:

Pretty impressive considering these things have 600 bhp.  I guess with skills like that it's no wonder he wins every damn thing! :D

Whincup is a class act. I've just watched round 2 from Symmons Plains which he won convincingly.:)


Vargen

Impressive. It takes a LOT of skill to transition as smoothly as that.

Love the V8's, watch all the races if I can, managed every race for the last 2 seasons. Theres always a nice bit of action and the channel 7 guys are great for commentating and in depth look at things in race, wish they would do a direct feed onto UK tv!

Race 1 at sandown last year was a cracker, 600bhp in the wet in those things was nuts!

Seany

I was just looking on YouTube to see if some one had uploaded a video of Qualifying race2 from this weeks Sandown 500 (it was a good race).  It turns out that they actually have their own official V8 Supercar channel on there now with all this years races, which is very nice. :racing:

Anyway here is that good race: (approx 30 mins long)

Aye, was a great race seany!! Definately one to show people who are intrested in the sport, looks like Bathurst will be a good'un too.

Nice on board lap with Rick Kelly around the Mountain



No brakes for Will Davison through the Chase.




Pretty big accident at the start of race1 from the Gold Coast 600

Here is a nice clip from the recent V8 event showing the forces that tires and suspension go through on a race car.

After seeing that, you begin to understand why its taking so long for Scawen to sort out the tyre modelling in Live for Speed S3.

Nice clip Seany :)

Crash from the recent event at Phillip Island

robt100

It was a big crash, doesnt look as bad from that view. Take a look at the onboard from behind though, its scary!

Yeah that's a good view alright.  Heh heh notice how Todd doesn't even apply more brake.  1 1/2 ton of race car flying past your windscreen....sideways: "normal day at the office" :D
