The drawback with the Oz series is that I think there are only 2 manufacturers - Ford and Holden.
Yep that's it, but that's what draws the crowds here. It makes the series unique because of this. The level of competition in V8's is very high, it has some brilliant tracks (Bathurst, Phillip Island) and the drivers are of a high class.
V8 Supercars get my vote.
I've seen limited amounts of DTM and NASCAR, but from what I have seen, I'm not a major fan of either.

"When Jacques was with us, he was a very aggressive driver, fiercely competitive, mentally hard as nails. Very quick with it, very gifted. A bright fellow, undoubtedly, very intelligent.

Im not totally certain about the other things but from what ive heard V8 Supercars are faster in a straight line than DTM, reaching over 302 km. I also know that DTM cars handle slightly better around the corners than a V8 Supercar.

Well they went to the Shanghai International Circuit in China this year so you never know. In a few years they may try to break into other countries.
PS whats a Trans-Am race?

The American version of super cars, been around for years 20 or so at least. I take that back it first raced in the late '60's Cameros, Mustangs etc.

I think the DTM engine is considerably smaller than the V8 Supercar. The V8 supercar has a 5.7 Litre V8 engine which can go 0-100 km in 4.0 seconds.

DTM - 0-100km/ph 3.8 seconds
189mph top speed, electronically limited. dunno what that is in kmph
dtm engines are smaller, but they have a hell of a lot of horses.

Don't get me wrong, I like mika and HHF (don't care for mcnish and alesi) but there are better people in the dtm and people who haven't achieved dtm fame through their time in formula 1

yeah he's OK. He calls the F1 when it's here along with the other commentator Neil Crompton. They're OK, but they really go on and on and on about Webber.
