V8

On my last day in Adelaide, friday 18th,
I went to the "Clipsal 500", the second race of the Australian V8 Championship.

It's held on the road circuit of Adelaide, where years ago the F1 GP took place









It's a 4-days event, but I decided to go only on Friday, because of money, and because actually I do not know anything about this kind of races: cars, teams, pilots... I am not a fan, so 1 day was enough.

There are only two main big makes, even if with many different teams, and all the fans are divided between HOLDEN (australian make, most of the people support it)








And FORD





I did not know that these cars have a V8 5000cc displacement, with 640 hp!!! Incredibly powerful...

A lot of races all the day: the Aussie Cars











the PickUp Race (UTE),

the Formula Ford race (500kg, no wings, Ford Fiesta engine 4L 1600cc, 125 hp)

the old cars race









and the 1hour GT race.


Then amusement park,
(I did not try this attraction...)

FMX (FreeStyle Moto Cross)

eating something,

and the "Birds of Tokyo" concert.

A full day.
