This is funny. Bathurst is Australias biggest race and it was on last weekend. This is a video of one of your Nascar stars taking a ride Biggrin

Just goes to show how great the difference is between road course and oval. Speed is one thing, constant change is another.

I imagine that taking a ride in a car in that extreme situation on the side that you are used to driving on and having no control would give your mind quite a shock.

Of course I have always gravitated, leaned, or been inclined toward road course racing and I did love to watch those races when I lived in New Zealand for a few years.

For anyone else like me who may like this type of racing I will give a plug for Peter Winn and his Mach 1 from Hobart, Australia.

Peter's Mach 1 is in the shop currently but if you have not seen some of his video's then you owe yourself the treat. I'm looking forward to seeing him and his car back on the Targa circuit.

Thanks Steve O - great find. I love it.

Our friends family runs three new Corvettes in the Targa + other races. I will have to ask them if they know Peter Winn.

Here is another little clip of a XY-GTHO at Bathurst. It sure is steep going down the other side of the mountain........
