V8 Xtra

V8Xtra revs back into life this weekend as the beginning of the 2012 V8 Supercars Championship at the Clipsal 500 approaches fast. Host Neil Crompton is joined by his regular sidekicks Mark Skaife and Mark Larkham for this weekend's show as the team previews a massive season ahead. The lads wandered onto the grid at the recent Sandown test day during the massive fan grid walk and gauged the fans thoughts ahead of the new season and also caught up with new IRWIN signing Lee Holdsworth. Aaron Noonan reports on just who has moved where in a very busy off-season and covers one of the biggest stories in the history of the championship -- the arrival of Nissan with Kelly Racing in 2013. Riana Crehan is back on board and takes time out with a range of drivers to see what they got up to during their off-season. And the V8Xtra team pays a very special tribute to a great mate we lost just before Christmas, Jason Richards.

Neil Crompton speaks to Will Davison & Jamie Whincup, Larko talks about pit crew rule changes and the new CEO of V8 Supercars has a chat.

HOLDEN Racing Team star Garth Tander is the focal point of this episode of V8Xtra, which aired on the Seven Network this weekend. The 2007 V8 Supercar Champion allowed V8Xtra's cameras to follow him everywhere at the Clipsal 500, opening up the door to viewers to see behind the scenes as the factory Holden team began the new season in Adelaide. From debriefs to appearances and everything in between, the V8Xtra cameras followed Tander for a full day and you'll get to see exactly how it unfolded -- and plenty that you didn't see in the race coverage.

The V8Xtra team is back in the studio to review last weekend’s Tasmania Challenge from Symmons Plains Raceway, Launceston.

The V8Xtra team previews next weekend’s ITM 400 from the streets of Hamilton, NZ.
