I'm from the US but watch SuperCars on KZbin from the SuperCars Channel. I sit for 3 or 4 days glued to my computer and watch all of the support races and ALWAYS watch the Aussie Race Cars. They put on some of the best racing over the weekend. It's nice knowing now how they came to be, never would have thought they came from Legends Cars.

You are a true motorsport nerd to do that, I love it! haha. Yes obviously the ARC body won't admit that, but from my research, that's the generally accepted story of how the idea came to be before he began assembling his own cars!

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...

I like it. The big problem with legend series is the fact that you can’t touch. The tires stick out so it’s like open wheel, and the front/rear bumpers stick out also and often get hooked together. These full bodied cars eliminate those issues. Id love to see them in the states.

The Legend Midget cars are as a series in NASCAR or was on Paved as a series that mostly inexperienced drivers and kids ran so there were massive spinouts. Legend Dirt is its own series separate from any other race series and they take it seriously as its own thing.

Legends tends to be geared more towards young, learning drivers, and being forced to learn exactly where the bumpers and sides of their cars are by not being able to touch is a big positive in driver development so I get it. But I get what you're saying, doesn't always make for the most exciting racing as a viewer, especially in the ladder system of the top American full body stock car series. Would love to see a series of these cars pop up in America though!

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. You did a great job on this video, I only wish it lasted longer lol.

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.

@@steveo1964 yes it’s really a fun track :) It doesn’t have a huge age old history like the Nürburgring or Hockenheim has, but it has enough great racing series have legendary races there that are nowadays already considered legends, like the amazing DTM cars of the late 80s and early 90s and then the monstrous technical high end machines of the later DTM/ITC Series as the 90s advanced and roled over into the early 2000s. Great races to watch live! And nowadays there are many races going on there, GT classes, prototypes, lower level formula classes and of course a lot of motorcycle classes too! I can consider myself very fortunate that I did quite a few laps on that track in real live already with different cars. My biggest highlight was when I was selected for a training weekend by BMW (I have four BMWs, a daily 5 series with a 3 liter inline six turbo automatic , two e36 a compact with the 2.5 liter inline six manual and a touring with the 2.8 liter inline six automatic and the original e8x 1 series as a cabriolet with the 3 liter inline six manual). You could write a little bit about yourself, register through your dealer for this program and I got lucky that I was one of the 30 people who got selected. They rented the track a full weekend for us, starting Friday morning ending Sunday evening with paid hotel stay, catering etc. It was such an amazing experience! We started out with a few briefings and then got racing overalls and helmets and a track prepared M4 (carbon intake open snorkel, carbon ceramic brakes, stripped interior and light cage and big pedal shifts. Then we trained for a few hours with a pacecar in front of us at racepace to learn the limits of Tue track and have a pack racing experience. 15 people on the track, we were split in two groups. The other group got to drive bmw classic cars in the wonderfully sunny, a bit mountainous countryside at the time the others where on the track. This was also such a great experience, we had cars like the e30 M3, the 850 CSI (manual high reving V12, it is the base engine for the McLaren F1!!)the 635 CSL, the 2002 turbo, the legendary Batmobile and many more cars going from the early 90s backwards right to the legendary BMW 507! This was the first day, on the second it got really special! Everybody in the group got a Formula BMW car and racing training! Full carbon monocoque single seater with amazing aero! Driving those where completely different from everything I ever did and so much cooler (but also much harder and really exhausting) I ever did with cars! The other group enjoyed switching around tue Oldtimers during that time. On the third day we got a qualifying and a little race for everybody but of course had to keep it safe. Those 30 laps where extremely hard and those cars aren’t even near formula 4 level! And then after lunch we got taxi laps with full blown racecars driven by full blown BMW racedrivers like Bruno Spengler, Sheldon van der Linde and one amazing young woman who is extremely fast but unfortunately I forget her name.. It was unreal we where taxied around in the M6 GTE, the M4 GT3 and the highlight, the old V8 naturally aspirated DTM car! The forces you felt while in those cars where unbelievable and how those drivers flung them around the track was just insane! It was unbelievable how hard they pushed the cars and how late they braked! It was such an unbelievable experience that you never could buy with money (maybe if you are a billionaire) and I’m so grateful I got to experience this as a normal working guy who likes driving cool cars. Yes I’m fortunate enough to afford my vehicles etc but I’m by no means rich. I’m just a regular working engineer in the automobile industry who develops cars for a living. I can’t complain about my income, but it’s nothing you could even reasonably justify buying a Porsche with so this experience is very very special for me and I’ll forever have a really deep connection with the Motopark Oschersleben due to that! I would’ve never been able to drive any of those amazing vehicles if they didn’t invite me to that legendary event. Sorry for spamming you with such a long story without knowing you at all, I was just very happy about your comment, being a non German liking the track in AC :)

These look great! They remind me of the American Baby Grands which are IIRC 2/3 scale NASCAR-style stock cars with fibre-glass body shells over a tubular space-frame chassis with a motorbike engine. Some were imported into the UK back in the early 2000s and I drove a couple of them at test days at Arena Essex in about 2003. They ran a demonstration on the full Rockingham oval around that time at a V8Thunder/ASCAR/SCSA (whatever they called it at the time) event. I believe a series still exists in the UK but not called Baby Grands, running on short ovals.

There's one series that no one talks about, but it's really nice to watch: Brazilian stock car. Just to mention some names that races there: Rubens Barrichello, Felipe Massa, Nelson Piquet Jr, Lucas di Grassi, Toni Kanaan. It's Very nice to watch

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 saw these a couple of years ago at Simmons Plains Raceway, Tasmania (AUS) and thought they were amazing. I'd never heard of nor seen them before, so to see these 1/3 sized cars ripping around the track was quite entertaining. Definitely keen to go see them again sometime. I'd like to see one up close just to grasp the size of these cause TV doesn't do it justice.

Ah it's a shame you didn't manage to get up close to one! I think most of the rounds they attend have open paddocks, they did when I saw them at the Adelaide 500. Definitely worth having a wander round the paddock if you get chance, TV really doesn't do it justice I agree!

We have been watching the Australian Supercars Championship and the S5000 Australian Drivers Championship for a couple of years now here in Oregon, USA. It has sometimes been a bit of a challenge to find a stream. It has been great fun watching Scott McLaughlin and Oscar Piastri moving to F1 and Indy Car series. And it goes without saying but ...Daniel Ricciardo is a favorite. I'm hoping that sometime in the next 114 days I will be able to find an Aussie Racing Cars stream. I'm thinking my best bet is to use my VPN to log into an Australian Server and find a stream. Any suggestions?

I might have to snag a subscription to Superview some time. This looks fantastic. I'd also encourage anyone who likes this to give the Mazda MX-5 cup a try! It's an IMSA support series and streams entirely for free. Very tight races with lots of passing. Often has 3 or 4 car battles coming across the finish line.
