I have been recently attracted to Australian V8 Supercars. It is some really exciting racing.

I was wondering if anybody knew if they made some model cars designed after these cars. Thanks

Agreed-beats the ###### out of the Cup series we have. 600+HP V-8's in light chassis on road courses. Doubt about the models-never saw Vauxhall, Holden or Mondeo kits here.

Aussie guys?

THESE guys REALLY race, no goin round in circles all day for them! they are fun to watch and I enjoy the heck outta them. But Marks right, i've never seen a model of EITHER of those Ozzi cars, unless it's been in resin.

Thats too bad, oh well maybe someday. Thanks though guys.

the V-8 supercars are pretty awesome to watch race

you want to see some really good touring car racing? look for some of the older BTCC stuff when those guys were beating the snot out of each other on the track and doing all kinds of wild passes. should be from around 2000 or so. it was pretty wild for awhile and then they stopped it.

I have seen some BTCC racing. But since it has been stopped I am onto ATCC. There is this guy on youtube that uploads all of the races, so I am following pretty closely to the action.

I've watched a few on SPEED, kinda prefer that to NA$CAR and F1 to be honest.

V8 Supercars is an awesome series!

Unfortunately a diecast company has exclusive rights to V8 Supercars so no model kits.
