I dunno if Phil Ward still races in the series, but I'll never forget the time he drove up to the front of the grid from his qualifying position & cancelled the race under safety concerns, as there had been an engine failure that had oiled down the track in the race immediately prior to the ASC race, and he wasn't happy with the cleanup. Cue confusion from the commentators, but a lot of respect from his fellow racers. As he said (and I'm paraphrasing here) "A lot of people have spent a lot of their money to be here, and I'm not prepared to let them crash their cars because the track doesn't want to do a proper job of cleanup". Coming from the guy who stood to make the most money out of any repairs, that meant a lot...

Thank you for this mate. This was a brilliant take on a perspective that I think too many take for granted. You are 100% bang on the money about how many sub categories are given almost main category type exposure through TV etc. I will give props to foxtel and the previous and current supercars management for ensuring all categories under Supercars gets this kind of limelight. Us Aussies are very lucky in this sense, and I hope more people realise this fact too, instead of being elite snobs and only following the top category and not giving a damn about the rest.

Some of the reason for their acceptance also lies in the fact that they can be modelled on marques that Aussies grew up with, the Holdens and Fords being prominent. Since these names have been lost to the demise of Australian manufacturing supporters are leaning towards them instead of the supercars which have basically become a Formula USA brand with Mustangs and Cameros.

I could see a series like this that is team racing based, and the teams are location based like other sports. Due to the lower cost, the requirements could be 3-5 cars per team and building/using a city course or existing track as a "home venue". I would think there's enough interest and support to have 10 american cities to create a team and travel the country racing. A playoff season that features returning races to tracks where the leading teams are based and a neutral championship race sounds like a hell of a spectator sport.

@KieranMogg
@KieranMogg Жыл бұрын
Goes without saying with Jordan Cox. I remember watching him in Adelaide racing that Civic against an American muscle car (can't quite remember which one) and just being in awe of the way he was able to take that thing round corners. I think IPRA is a fantastic series once viewers get off their high horses to watch it. So many people left the stands when improved production came on, and to be honest I did too the first time. But I think the thing with IPRA is that you can get that racing anywhere. In terms of multiple different types of cars all on track together, that's not unusual. Just look at like likes of CSCC in UK. So I'd say the ARC's are more of a spectacle because it's limited to one country/continent and plus, the racing is some of the best you'll see. Just my personal opinion but you're definitely right, IPRA is incredible! Supercars is fantastic, no denying that. It's not quite as good as it used to be, I'm glad it's not just Van Gisbergen winning all the time now, especially with Brodie Kostecki and Will Brown fighting at the front now so it's definitely on the up but I'd also say it's difficult to look past indycar as a brilliant spec series just due to the sheer diversity of tracks and drivers.

think there is international series that is based in Europe which is very similar to this series called mitjet international, meaning it's not just Australia have them, Europe has them as well

They really are! Oh trust me, I'm very aware of Jordan Cox and that Civic. Coming over skyline and that move, up on two wheels round Adelaide. Just awesome stuff! I was there in 2019 when he got the chance at TCR Australia and he was such a nice guy!

It's like the car version of Underbone racing (seen mostly in Malaysia and Indonesia). Lower cost vehicles with pack racing and constant overtakes.

@@KieranMogg People mistake them for scooters, they're inbetween scooter and motorbike. The two main categories are 110cc and 130cc, the latter topping out at 160kmh. It's full of pack racing and constant overtakes.

So ARC is basically a junior series for anyone wanting to get into V8 Supercars because these cars are legit just scaled down versions of current V8 Supercars. for example, the Nissan Altima(although nissan doesn't compete anymore), Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro
@KieranMogg
@KieranMogg Жыл бұрын
Kind of. The proper route to V8's is Super 3, Super 2 and Supercars. Some juniors use these but honestly I don't think it's a mainstream feeder for them. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone reading this? haha

Aussie Racing Cars is such a fun series to watch. It's the race I look forward to the most other than the V8 Supercars race on a race weekend. And yes coverage for that series and other supporting categories for Supercars is included if you are a member of the Supercars KZbin channel, which is where I first saw this series.
