Riding Shotgun in a V8 Supercar

Took part in an amazing experience last weekend at HyperFest 2026 at Virginia International Raceway. Amongst of all of the drifting, spec races, time trials, and the car show going on, there happened to be two retired Falcons on the premises and they were offering ride alongs.

They’re cared for and driven by a private owner here in Virginia. Really cool guy that’s down to chat about the cars and sling them around the track. The Pirtek car was originally a demo car and has a third seat fitted in the rear, so it has never seen real race time. The Vodafone car speaks for itself. Probably one of the coolest livery’s to ever be put on a car.

Edit: link of in car footage. My buddy James recorded a lap from the rear passenger seat. It was a outlap just trying to get some heat in the tires before pushing. Volume up and enjoy! https://youtube.com/shorts/bNnVEECLSLY?si=m1FBXbF1TITyu1B7

Iceberg

Hello Friends, I joined this subreddit not only to learn and be able to talk about this category (as soon as I start to see and understand it), But for now I just need your help for a very important project of mine.

I'm trying to do a project that's based on an iceberg of motorsport in general (Drift, Open Wheel, Rally, GT, etc). And at this point, I'd like to ask you, what have been the most historic moments in the category? Whether they're epic moments, rivalries, controversies, including funny moments, coincidences, or simply memes related to the category, etc. It can be anything. While you're at it, it would be a huge help if you could send me links to information or simply tell me what happened that time.

I'm doing this whole project mainly to raise awareness of motorsports in the Spanish-speaking world (As you can see, I'm from Colombia). And thus enable more Spanish-speaking people to understand or learn about other categories besides the main ones (F1, Indycar, etc.).

Joining the project with your contribution would be a great help. And I would appreciate any contribution 🥹🫶

First Time Bathurst 1000 Camper

Hey, I’ve just managed to secure a camp site for the Bathurst 1000 2026 at The Chase area D. I’ve never been to Bathurst before, let alone camped there!

I’ve got 2 young kids (6yo boy and 4yo girl) and my Mrs isn’t totally convinced on the idea.

I’m planning on going on Thur, Fri, Sat, Sun and leaving on Monday.

I’m an avid fan, my son enjoys it and my little girl is 50/50!

Any advice or things from other that have been in a similar situation that might get my Mrs over the line?
