V8s give Middle East a tune-up
THE roar we had been waiting for went off in Abu Dhabi last weekend, with Holden coming out on top.
It was an all Team Vodafone front row for race one of the 2011 season, as Craig Lowndes claimed pole position ahead of teammate Jamie Whincup. However, it was Ford’s Alex Davison who got the jump from the second row, taking the pack around turn one.
V8 Supercars second only to F1: Yas CEO
Yas Marina Circuit’s Chief Executive Officer Richard Cregan says that V8 Supercars is a key part of the stunning circuit’s future.
The track is host to a number of international events, including Formula One, V8 Supercars and the FIA GT1 World Championship, and the track’s Irish boss says that the V8 category is second only to F1 in terms of importance for the circuit.
Why V8 Supercars has hit the skids in Australia

@Dimitri0809 Sorry ... @Dimitri0809 Sorry to disagree but it would be a no contest battle not even worth watching. These are 600,000 dollar cars that must adhere to strict racing specs in order to compete. And they are purely track bread cars. A type? R could be used as a pace car. and thats about it.
