Being local I cannot really be bothered with the V8 race..... But I love the 12 hour production car race that is held around easter each year up on the mount. That is a race worth watching without the hype of the V8 race. Its very informal on the track, You can literally walk up to the the pits and talk to the drivers. As the cars are slightly modified production cars, they actually have interesting dynamics happening all the time rather than a train procession of a parity based formula.
What is really special about the 12 hour race is racing in the dark with the glowing and sparking brakes, its truly spectacular.
As for the V8's our policy is now to rent out the house and get outta town.
I do miss the production 24 hour race that they had for a while on the mount, there is no sound quite like a ferrari screaming up and down the mount, trying to outlast the porsches.
