2022-1 V8 Supercars

We move from the insanity that is the Twisted Metal Tour to the crazy carnival of Australian touring cars: The Supercar Championship.  This series drives like tactical warheads playing chess at supersonic speeds.  While we would like to bash our way through the field (and that may still happen on occasion) we need to show reserve, patience and racecraft to reflect the same attitude the series consistently represents...mostly.
