The Australian V8 supercars keep on proving themselves to be the best racing series you can watch. Not only do you get to witness absolute chaos in some races like below
But it seems they also like to have a bit of fun after the race! This is a video of Shane Van Gisbergen having a bit of a mess about after the race and he takes the big Ford for a little drifting session. Considering how little lock these cars have and the car is set up to grip as much as possible he does pretty well! It is cool to see stuff like this because in things like F1, they have so many rules and regulations that they can’t just cut loose and celebrate when they win.
The series also has a new sponsor in Etihad Airways, who no doubt want to raise awareness for their flights to and from Australia. New sponsors mean new advert videos and Etihad have a nice few minutes worth of footage that works well at showing off the racing to any people who have never seen it before. Check it out below!

I personally find the V8 supertaxis painfully boring. Yet another control formula where he who spends the most money wins.
I believe they will be moving to control chassis and bodywork, over the next couple of seasons, making them basically a slower, lower tech version of DTM.
