Not sure how many people here actually have an interest in australian racing but this weekend is the Bathurst 1000, a 1000km race over 6.1km mountain circuit in V8's. It started off in the 60's where you've have falcons, holden monaros and mini coopers all racing in the same class (usually seeing the v8's flying away from the mini's along the straights before the mini's taking advantage of the curves over the mountain but now it's only open to V8's that run in the current Supercars season (currently Commodores, Falcons, Nissan Altima's and Mercedes....Volvo entering next year, possibly Chrysler and BMW as well).
It's usually a really great race, takes about 6 hours to finish and sometimes will see a kangaroo hopping across (or standing on) the main back straight from the top of the mountain while the cars are doing ~300kph. If you are into car racing I'd suggest trying to find a stream of sundays race
