I've said it before, although they are dinosaurs, and nothing like their road cars the racing is pretty tight and close and the regulations to keep the cars closer and competition more even does make for some exciting racing. It can be (and often is) argued that the cars are basically the same and it does nothing for progress of technology.... but generally no-one makes the same statements about Formula Ford which is even more regulated!
The bogan factor sucks though, I thought that the Clipsal 500 in Adel was a total dickhead festival - so many idiots with no idea about racing just go because they own a holden or ford, get pissed and act like clowns. The V8 lites at Mallala was a far better crowd.
No-one watched the Super Tourers because seeing the same cars win again and again got pretty damn boring. Group A was dying in Australia, and was dead globally when the V8 Supercars replaced them. I'd love to see a few different manufacturers in there, kicking Ford and Holden arse but the fact remains Ford vs Holden draws crowds, sponsorship and keeps the racing going. It'd be too hard for toyota or mistusbishi to get involved.
My fantasy is "Taxi Class" racing, with Ford, Holden and Toyota ex-taxi cars, all with 500,000 kms on the clock compete in full taxi trim, with signage, original brakes, taxi meter/computer, LPG tank, beaded car seat cover etc.
