Look here:
V8 Supercars

I am pretty sure it is televised online as well. So here's your fix for the Aussie V8s.

The damn video didn't work for me ...

But i know what it is like watching rally driver's ... they know how to control a vehicle.

Looks up Climb Dance on Youtube ... you will understand what is i like controlling a vehicle on Pikes Peak looking into blinding sun ... Ari Vatenen was a freak when it came to rally. His record stood for quite some time as well for Pike's.

Ken is a really nice guy and a fantastic guy to talk to. I have met him twice at two different events in New Zealand last year. He is very open and approachable too. Not foolhardy and a hoon.

He also has only been driving since 2005 at an age beyond when most driver's start their careers. Having made a successful business selling skate boarding shoes, he decided to give rallying a go after seeing it on TV and playing a few rally video games. He has not looked back, having found a natural talent.

He does not compete because he has to, he has a successful business to keep him active. He does it for the complete love and enjoyment of the sport. I am hoping he might be tempted to come to Australia for the WRC round here next September because that will be only 30km from my house.
