Don’t Be Too Hard on the V8 Supercars
15 May 2010 20:05 PM
If Race 11 today in the V8 Supercar Championship from Winton proved one thing, it’s that the control tyre should be replaced with the sprint tyre because in the space of three races the softer compound has proved that racing can be exciting without relying on race strategy and mandatory pit stops. In fact using [...]

On my way home from work today I kept up to date with the F1 first free practice session from Monte Carlo. Almost as soon as a driver crossed the finish line I had the lap time and I also had access to information on set up changes drivers were trying and various photos of [...]
So long Adelaide, and thanks for all the fish
14 March 2010 20:03 PM
It doesn’t seem all that long ago that I arrived in Adelaide. So for a place where time apparently moves so slow that they’re currently 20 years behind the rest of Australia, I’m surprised at how fast the last three days have passed me by. You could say they passed by V8 Supercar fast, but [...]

I like to think that things take a little longer in Adelaide. I haven’t visited the city of churches and dead bodies in bank vaults since I was four years old, but my perceptions all seem right so far. It took twice as long as usual to get off the plane. Traffic lights take forever [...]

Forecast for 2010: Frosty
01 March 2010 19:03 PM
Craig Lowndes had it, so did Mark Skaife, Marcos Ambrose too, and after watching race four of the V8 Supercars from Bahrain this past weekend you can be pretty sure that Jamie Whincup wants it. Domination. Everyone wants it; just ask Max Mosely, but does Whincup have it? After fluffing the start from pole yesterday and [...]

Abu Dhabi: The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same
21 February 2010 22:02 PM
The first round of the 2010 V8 Supercars has been run and won with a somewhat unexpected although not unusual result with Jamie Whincup standing on the top step in both races. Given that he is the two time reigning series Champion, you might not seem all that surprised that he won both races, yet many things [...]

Apologies For the Inconvenience
20 February 2010 23:02 PM
I’ve been hanging out of my pants for the 2010 V8 Supercar season since July last year when Team Vodafone announced a switch from Ford to Holden. I would be telling porkies if I said I was surprised at their switch to Holden but the decision still sits a little uneasily in my stomach. Sure, [...]

Trouble in Paradise?
26 October 2009 14:10 PM
One year ago, Champ Car raced for the last time around the streets of Surfers Paradise, a decision that was not entirely unexpected at the time the flag fell at the end of the race in 2008. When it was finally confirmed that the Champ Cars would not return to Australia, Lexmark decided the time [...]
