Dyno comp is already a non-event.Next V8 SC will require all racecars to be hybrids to minimise their carbon footprint I wonder what other initiatives they will come up with the draw in the crowds?

I think v8 supercars have gone backwards some what over the years.... but its ok to have the four x girls dance around in little outfits (not that im complaining) isnt that sending a bad message to teenage girls who also might watch the v8's...
