Default DW gets the ride of his life!
I just saw this video of Darrell Waltrip taking a ride around Mt. Panorama road course in a V8 Supercar with Jason Bright, and thought you might enjoy it: Video: Darrell Waltrip laps Bathurst with V8 Supercar driver Jason Bright - Autoweek

I saw that yesterday, I'm surpised he didn't pee himself.

Holy hell that looks like it would be fun! And think about it, this guy has actually driven over 200mph. Must have been one hellova ride!

I saw this right before the Bathurst 1000. My buddy is an Aussie in Brisbane and we texted back and forth during the race. Craziest, F'd up track I've ever seen!!!

Love Mt. Panorama and watching the DW vid was hilarious.

I love that they are trying to make people aware of Aussie V8 Supercars but they better be careful because they could (should) easily take over NASCAR.

I wish they would create a series like this, these cars are so much cooler and they are stupid fast.

Look up the track records, an Aussie V8 is 1 second faster than an Audi R8 GT car.

Cool
2012 or 2013 there will be a V8 Supercar Race in Austin, TX so the supercars are coming to the states but only for one race right now.

I know, we are thinking about going, its 2013....though it may be the "2013" season so it could be late 2012.

Can't think of any reason, including the V8 supercars, to go to Texas.
