I’m happy to see these highlight videos return. It is making me fall in love with this sport

[@jameschapman1072]

Best race of the year so far..

[@RACINGUS95]

Agreed. It was honestly really fun to watch

[@doric_historic]

That energetic wheelnut landed in my backyard in Scotland, Red Bull gives wheelnuts wings...

[@oscarsmitty]

way to go New Zealand great crowds great racing supercars TAKE NOTE you dont need to take our sport to Singapore an further overseas our New Zealand neighbours show you they can turn the crowds on well done NZ an terrific racing SVG would have been in his element an so proud of his country

[@ashdog236]

Singapore is basically the same distance from Aus as New Zealand it’s not that far, we can have our neighbours New Zealand and other countries too, not just one or the other. The more rounds the better, I want as many rounds as NASCAR, we can dream 😂

[@Dat-Mudkip]

Heck of a recovery by Waters. Didn’t expect a top ten!

[@kai325d3]

Tbf, it was less of a recovery and more of everyone else in front didn't want to stay in front

[@ashdog236]

@@kai325d3 Waters actually passed a lot of cars on track not just through accidents, you a waters hater or something?

[@Alex-tu9bh]

Just when you think mozzie could be making the championship interesting the bloody wheel falls off

SUPERCARS IN NZ ROCKS

[@caedmon2behrens186]

We need a full race replay of this

[@racergirl9580]

Gotta pay for it.

[@Dane-rg6sy]

Why can’t the camera operators wipe the camera lens and get the water droplets off, particularly at the start.

[@marktiltins8845]

Condensation inside the lens, it's a maintenance issue bit of rain X wouldn't go astray

[@jamescooper5159]

chose not to brave the weather on Saturday but watching a kiwi win on tv was amazing. Sunday race was just as good to watch in person, lots of passing, tv's around the place were all too small to see so had to watch on the phone to see what was going on. Best Races of the Gen 3 era so far.

[@felipepavzin9208]

What a Debut For This Circuit in New Zealand

[@lawrencepll76]

Chaz took that personally

[@arthur4493]

I just can't get into supercars anymore I'd much rather watch 70' 80' 90's era and rediscover and relive those days

[@plebtile3347]

Did you do it?

[@bremCZ]

The 90s? When there were only 11 full time cars on the grid? Yeah that was awesome...

[@kai325d3]

Then do it, not an airport, don't need to announce your departure. Also have fun watching 10 cars on the grid

[@kooringagnd]

Unfortunately the mustang is hamstrung to accommodate the Chevrolet wheelbarrow. Let the mustang run free and see real racing not this handicap racing joke . Yes many, including Holden fans, have walked away from the dupercar chumpionship.

[@Appletank8]

​@@kooringagnd So, you want Supercar to be like F1 with cars being 20 seconds apart at the end?

[@smithracingexcel929]

this track looks awesome

[@jacksonrobison1901]

Like these long highlight videos

[@ashdog236]

I wanted a Ford to win but that was the best race we’ve had in a very long time

[@vesnabernjak-ord8674]

so far, this is the best race of the season in my opinion.

[@grahames9228]

DJR, they are back.

[@villiersman951]

👍👍

[@jasonbernard1277]

Stanaway 23rd to 6th!!

[@victordo9408]

This race is giving me 2007 Oran Park Race 3 vibes!!

[@felipepavzin9208]

Best Race of the year so far INDEED

[@madmick3794]

Well deserved, well and truly earnt.

[@_Zekken]

God damn, it was torrential rain all day up in Auckland. Good to know if was also Torrential down in Taupo. Some sketchy stuff there

[@mattamiergaming2878]

best race of the season, taupo is such a good track as well.

[@jakeyorath2325]

That driver's eye cam is absolutely killer, keep that up!

[@dallasfrost1996]

Great to see V8 Super Cars back here in New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@matthewhydes47]

Awesome race good to have a kiwi on top and the shell boys up there to

[@jgonzalezvazquez]

Con tanta cantidad de agua era de esperar que hubieran muchos accidentes. 👍👍🇪🇦🇦🇷

[@johnbrooks9523]

Yes. Instant madness, just add water. The adjustments available to enable a race car to perform on a wet surface are finite. There's only so much a mechanic can do. The rest is up to the driver. These drivers often try tactics they use in the dry which are wildly dangerous in the wet. Within only a second of race start, some drivers veered left or right as they attempted to block those behind them. Waters made this mistake. Had he "stayed within his lane" so to speak, he might not have clanged into another car also "moving out of his lane" to the left. Such aggressive blocking tactics on such a wet surface were likely to cause trouble & they did. We regularly see Waters apply excess aggression. He upsets other drivers. These drivers have friends. Waters' aggression is often paid back to him. He has all the required ability to win races. He can't win a season while his aggression causes initial conflict & later payback. Eventually, his team owner will tire of it & send him back to billycarts or tricycles where he can't cause so much damage. Other team owners paying for damage caused by Waters will demand it. It's nasty & expensive & making life miserable for other gifted drivers & their teams.

[@johnhamilton748]

Hopefully it rains in the F1 race to make that interesting too

[@felipepavzin9208]

Awesome Slobberknocker

[@plebtile3347]

I want to know how many mirrors Cam broke before the season started. Does he have to walk under ladders to get into his car each time out? Hopefully he didn't get a black cat in the off season.

[@johnbrooks9523]

It isn't bad luck. He's nasty. Constantly using his car as a weapon. They hadn't even made it to the first corner when he moved way too far to the right, trying to block those who might have paddled past him. Wet or dry, he usually overcooks it, gets invasive, clangs into someone, uses up the car & can't maintain a lead in a car he's fried & he loses. His bosses will get sick of paying the repair bills & so will other team owners. Drivers he's clobbered often target him & take him out when a payback opportunity presents. What goes around, comes around.

[@plebtile3347]

@@johnbrooks9523 Did you miss the part where Slade and Brown moved way more than Cam did or were we watching different races. Also what are you on about him taking out other drivers and vice versa? The only driver who he's had multiple crashes with is Chaz and literally every single one of those was Chaz running into Cam's car.

[@richardmatatahi4563]

Row me a bloody boat what a sail race deeper than Chicago

[@felipepavzin9208]

What a Wacky Race at the Taupo on the rain

[@J_S209]

Nice squeeze to the left by Brown at the start helped push Slade into Waters.

[@benbristow8412]

So where’s the race recaps for races 3-6?

[@barbarooza8408]

Ask Liberty Media

"CONTACT CONTACT CONTACT!" Heard you the first time Crompton.

that was a pit lane bonanza 😄

[@datsunsss5456]

what was Kostecki's penalty for pole-axing Courtnay?

[@neilstephen2282]

Watching from South Africa. Although the racing is good, Supercars has lost its ethos of the decades old Holden vs Ford. Watching historic cars racing is now much more pleasing

[@biancablanchfield3857]

Much better race categories in Australia than the one-make taxi series. Rather watch sports sedans, production cars, excels, and many others before this now obsolete series.

[@raufmeister]

last holden made in australia was the VF, after 2017 it wasnt made in australia anymore, the ZB was an american LS with opel chassis, Holden didnt made the cars just the engines from 90s or so, they were GM chassis from other brands in europe like opel, engines just were australian, many fans moved to Porsche Cup and just watched highlights in V8 supercars

[@dwayne1655]

It's failing because they took it away from the blue collar by taking it off free to air. The lost touch with the fans

@@dwayne1655 Agreed

Good job Supercars, The Camaro Cup rolls on , Lots of my mates both Ford and Chev fans don't bother watching this one sided series any more because it's lost its way .Supercars need To wind the clock back a few years the way it use to be run, Keep the one sided show coming Supercars and this series will die a slow and painful death.
