Australian Supercars Championship

Not sure if anyone else is watching this, but I've become a big fan this year

The racing and circuits are all excellent - the cars are really close in terms of performance, and the circuits are much more interesting than the huge, often flat F1 tracks

Loads of bumping and rubbing, massively powerful v8s, lots of sliding around (way more power than grip)

And what's not to love about a race series with a car in full Castrol livery

Lots of decent, official highlights on YouTube too...

I've been watching for a few years now. The cars are utter beasts. Shane Van Gisbergen has really used those skills from being a champion when he moved over to NASCAR and has been dominant on the street and road courses.

And the chicane at Surfers Paradise...

Haven’t really followed it since the commodores and falcons were current, but it’s always entertaining when I do catch a bit. Excellent formula as you state - intentionally keeping grip levels low.
