I always look forward to this weekend of the year – a whole weekend of solid V8 Supercar television is very awesome.

I grew up watching the touring cars (which then became the V8 Supercars in the mid 90s) with Dad, and heading out to Amaroo Park, or Eastern Creek, or Oran Park to watch different rounds of the championship. And then I’ve just kept into it each year. And watching Bathurst has always been a great fun Sunday, usually hanging out with Steve & B2 in the recent years, having a BBQ and eating copious amounts of chips and lollies.

There’s just something pretty special about such a traditional race. All the drivers have such excitement and enthusiasm about this race, and talk a lot about how special that is, and I guess that excitement gets passed onto fans and makes it special. On top of that, having such a unique circuit (none like it in Australia), and then having such a long race which requires such strategy makes it a very special Sunday in October.

The increased media coverage and sponsorship has meant that the TV coverage is so long and indepth now… which makes the people who love watching it on TV rather than heading up to the mountain (ie: me) very happy indeed.

And my new TV, and 7HD will make tomorrow better again :)
