Meanwhile, back on topic ... this episode does sound pretty decent. A V8 Supercar lap board instead of an F1 lap board makes perfect sense. Here's hoping the camera angles will show Murph and Richards off a bit better than it's been showing off the 'talent' of the SIABSC.

Who's the SIABSC in 1x07?

I'm liking the sound of this episode a lot images/smilies/smile.gif
Nice video too ... not much gets me excited these days, but I think I might have had a little personal accident hearing that Koenigsegg take off down Birch Street images/smilies/drool.gif.

It barely sounds like cox is hosting any of the segments, great!

Murph is awesome, i love his cockheaded no compromise atttidue.

Never have a cried out with joy as much as when he rammed Ambrose into the wall at Bathurst.

If lowndes hadn't of rammed him on lap 1 this year i have no doubt he would have won it. He probably could have got first in the end if he was only that one position closer.

Doing two good episodes in a row should have an effect on the ratings I would hope.
I wonder if people actually come back to a show as it gets better ?

Now Im keen to see Ep7 right now.

Er, nope. That fight is GT-R vs 911 Turbo.
Apparently Porsche wore its GT-R out trying to replicate Nissan's lap time, and went back to Nissan seeking parts to fix the car. Word on the street is that Nissan said no, sod off.
