I must be in the minority. I still watch the racing with enthusiasm.
I agree the old days of production cars was great but that was an era of muscle cars. Todays 'race sunday, buy monday' production cars are not as appealing.
Supercars has and continues to try and promote an even playing field to get close competitive racing. Its far from follow the leader, the racing for the most part is very competitive, on the edge driving, show casing some of the worlds most talented drivers 
Ill have the tv playing in my shed all weekend and we will have our traditional Bathurst day sunday where me and few mates sit and watch it all day. No negativity here, bring it on.
Already on Day 1 we have seen a few big spills, a couple of very fast laps and there will be plenty more stories to be told yet.....so strap in and get into you negative nancys 
you must watch a different event to most
Hate to admit it, but I agree with Bird....
V8 super snorers (I use that term as it has become as boring as bat guano) has lost its appeal since the "parity" rules came in. No opportunity to pass, the slightest tap and you're penalised, don't cross this white line, no kerb hopping, tyre bundles to "guide" drivers etc. Rules are farcical and penalties are delivered haphazardly with no consistency..........and who presides mainly over this, an ex driver.........
Now what future do we have, Turbo 6 with the same floor pan, roll cage (internal structure), suspension, gearbox, diff..............WTF
Getting rid of the V8 utes for Diesel utes...............WTF
No free to air coverage of all rounds, only the enduros...............WTF
AVESCO (who I believe still own the rights) along with TEGA and Channel 10 have destroyed the sport. and if not careful, will go the way of F1, now owned by the yanks.
As for the best drivers...........OMG, most of them couldn't drive a greasy stick, well you know where.............
Having worked trackside for quite a number of years, they are a bunch of stuck up arrogant spoilt brats. Have plenty of stories, but 1 incident stands out.
At Winton I was part of Racesafe doing recoveries. A driver for a well known team (in red
) ploughed off into the gravel trap at turn 11. Being a wet weekend (as it usually is at Winton), the racesafe boys had me hooked up very quickly to the car to drag it out. Said driver stood on the sill of the race car demanding that the racesafe Navara drive into the sandtrap and drive him back to the pits some 300m away.............................all so his shoes don't get wet.............he put on quite a performance to a point that it was quite embarrassing to say the least. It wasn't until race control told him he will be penalised for ignoring an official directive by an official that he begrudgingly trudged back to the pits.
