Fun! I've been subscribed to the Supercars package on YouTube since they put it up. It's a hell of a lot of fun to watch. Will be neat to try these tracks.

Wow that's pretty cool news.

V8's are at Phillip Island this week too.

OMG OMG OMG!!!! Finally!!! After watching the Repco Supercar series religiously for the last 5-6 years. I've been dying for some more tracks from the series to come to iRacing. I can't wait for this. Thanks for the heads up @Skid_Marc_ !!!

For those that may not be familiar with the layout of these tracks I'll leave a car cam and track map from each.

Sandown looks awesome but not too sure about Winton.

Winton kinda reminds me of Oran Park given how narrow and slow it is (at least from that onboard video).

Just out of curiosity, are the Holden and Mustang the only 2 cars that now run in V8SC? I visited the 2021 Repco Supercars Championship Standings and those are the only 2 manufacturers listed.

Yes. Volvo pulled out in 2016, and Nissan pulled out after the 2019 season.

I knew about Volvo but didn't even know Nissan was in there. Wasn't Mercedes also in V8's at one time?

Too bad about Volvo though, I actually liked that car.

There was a Mercedes C63, I think, run at one time, but I don't think they maintained factory support long. I believe it was always referred to as just Team Erebus, or something like that? I think they even removed the Mercedes logo for a while before it left.
