    Hi Liam

    This show on TVS has been a long 4 years in the making. ( 100s of hours of footage)
    Stuart Greaves has done a great job following my team over the 2004 & 2006 Nurburgring events.
    When everyone sees the behind the scenes stuff & what take place on the lead-up days before the 24hr , Then people can understand why I have kept taking my cars & introducing new Austalian Drivers to this race.
    What motorsport fans here in Australia probably cant feel is the vibe of 200K spectators over 7 days around a 25km curcuit.
    When our Bathurst 24hr stopped in 2003 & when privateers were no longer allowed to race at the Bathurst 1000 this gave me the desire to take my sport overseas.
    The Germans realy luv the sound of my V8 Supercar, & we have a great fan base now!
    Now it seems that this year there are 31 Australian drivers in 8 cars + all the Aussie crews making this year the biggest contingent ever to the “Nordschleife”

    Great work with the Information Liam

    Thanks Mal. I received a promo version of the full series on DVD from Stuart yesterday. I’ve only watched the first 20 minutes or so at this stage, but it’s been great viewing so far…
