Talladega Nascar
I watched Talladega this morning. Can't say that I've watched much Nascar (only on pay TV before) but now it's available on free-to-air TV here in Australia. What's with the bump-drafting thing? Surely an accident waiting to happen, as it turned out. Is this a regular thing? I understand normal drafting but to jam the nose of your race car up the rear of the guy in front and unsettle his car? Surely it should be a penalised ... a drive-thru penalty or perhaps a black flag for repeat infrigements ... on safety reasons. Or do the spectators only come there for the crashes, and the cars are that safe that drivers don't get hurt?

Much lower average speeds with the V8 Supercars and most of the push and shove typically happens in the tight corners (less than 100km/h). What are Nascars doing around that big banked oval ... 320km/h? The V8 Supercars only hit that on the longest straights on the fastest tracks.

Bump drafting was legal for a long time, then they banned it for awhile, and this season it's ok again.

NASCAR bores the shiznit out of me.

Looking forward to Le Mans, GT2 is going to be insane this year.

Well, it seemed being boring to me. The only interesting bits were the crashes. I just watched it over breakfast ... better than the kids' cartoons that dominate most free-to-air TV at that time of the morning.
