Major Clod Regular Location: Brisbane Registered: August 2003	Re: Toyota to take on the Aussie V8 Supercars? Sun, 10 October 2004 11:06 I know what you mean about the GTP, its great to watch, but thats because its close to showroom stuff and the drivers are often less experienced or privateers. Thats the thing about V8 Supercars, it isn't meant to be showroom. They are Australian race cars and the top level category in Australia. Sure they are the same shape as the production versions, but thats pretty much where the similarities end. Its hardly the V8 Supercars fault that GTP isn't mainstream. If anything they have gained in popularity since becoming a two manufacturer category, while the rest have remained behind. Being realistic most forms of racing are definately harder to catch, especially if you watch them from TV. How often can you find a good telecast of the drags on free to air TV. The V8 Brutes are definately more exciting because of the carnage but you can't expect them to be doing that in V8's much like you wouldn't expect it to happen in F1 or Indy. Given the level of competition in V8 Supercars these days its pretty unreasonable to expect them to be cruising around the mountain with unexperienced teams in nissans and toyotas for only one week per year. That is where a seperate race should come in, but unfortunately the Bathurst 24hr isn't happening this year. I'm all for GTP becoming more popular, but I'm not sure it will unless it can attract some of the bigger names in racing. [Report message to a moderator]
