r. kelly drives this? you think its seats are wet?

The Kelly bros are two kids from country Victoria that never grew up. They really are living the dream running a successful professional motor race outfit. Both know how to steer (are previous winners of Bathurst 1000 and the V8Supercar championship)

If the seats are wet, it is a sign of the sweat and tears invested in their business .. more power to them ....

2013 also brings independent rear suspension to the V8 Supercars as part of the "Car of the Future."

That's what is a little disheartening to me about racing series these days.

Don't get me wrong, I think this Altima v8 supercar is awesome. But it has nothing to do with real altimas

Most race cars differ completely from their stock counterparts.

I wish they'd bring out homologation specials for affordable prices, like the old rally cars in Europe.

Meh... I don't mind. Certain race series' run spec cars that don't have much to do with the cars they represent.

Other series are actually based off of the production car. It all depends.

The problem with requiring homologation is you wind up with crappy POS cars like the STI

that's how World Challenge and Grand-AM Conti Challenge are in their lower classes. i mean Kleeman's racing a 370 that's so close to stock it's scary. just some fancy suspension, upgraded brakes/wheels/tires and stripped interior with race prep cage. i mean there's half a dozen guys on this forum running a similar setup. granted he's got a different JWT motor now but it's not making outrageous power compared to what the VQ37HR is capable of, it's just a bit cooler in the process
