Habitual..you are right. At least the V8 Supercars are on a curvy track! There is only 1 race that I think has a road course involved when it comes to nascar and that is when they come to Sonoma here in California...not sure though but too lazy to check.

There's another race at Watkin's Glen. Also, starting next year (or, maybe, it's the year after that?), the Busch series will be racing on the F1 track in Montreal.

True Bathurst & Adelaide are the highlight of the V8 Supercar series, really I dislike how its just GM vs Ford.

NASCAR oh no thats just as boring as our V8 Supercar series

Give me the BTCC, DTCC, WRC, GT Performance(Aust.) anyday of the week

You forgot WTCC, DTM, F1.

Yep forgot them I thought DTCC was DTM or are they different ?

IMO I get bored with F1, sorry I agree with Jeremy Clarkson thats its the most boring series in the world

Anyone watch stage one those VWs were flying

Bad spectatorship by the Portugese members towards Schlesser (throwing stones at his car) revenge over a former incident with Portugese favourite De Sousa, who won the 1st stage today in a VW

Those trucks are awesome to watch & the Hummer of Robby Gordon getting bogged had me laughing

Bad start for Peterhansel & former VW driver Jutta Kleinschmidt in the BMW X3.

What does everyone else think ?

I've not had a chance to see any of the coverage, unfortunately...they don't show it on television, here.

I've just gone through the standings, though...I'm always amazed by the huge number of entrants.
