JUST WOW!!!!! THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST PIECES OF TRACK RACING I'VE EVER SEEN! My God that is some pure talent right there on both drivers. Andy for attacking so closely and pulling off the pass (albeit a bit dirty) and the other for being able to hold him off for so long. I LOVE all that opposite lock so close to the barrier!
the greatest car ever built,the rs500,i was 10 when these were racing,still just as impressive,still have a massive following,still all worth a min of £15000,i met tim harvey at the 2007 porsche carrera cup in which he races, i asked which is better the porker or the rs ? tim replied the rs. enough said,cheeRS
I believe it is because the roundabout is an opposite camber bend and there is a small yump just in the braking zone of the corner. If cars went close beside the Armco then the left hand side of the car will be off the ground just like what Karl Jones did at the 1988 Birmingham Superprix or the F3000 cars as well. So I think the barrier is there to encourage the cars to go wider into the corner but I never fully understood the purpose of the barrier though.
i have driven a rallycross spec sierra (rs500 engine in a ford motorsport rally shell) it was stupidly fast! i had a bmw M3 evo try to overtake me on a section of dual carrageway.... no chance
Can u imagine andy rouse kaliber sierras x3 labbatts x3 gravett cartel x3 racing on this circuit....id watch it day in day out as this is as good as it will ever get. Touring cars are nothing compared to this!!!!!
totally agree. but its getting better now the S2000 regs have come in the bmw 320s and vectras are back along with alfa 156s, but there is stll the silly little civics, should be honda accourds instead.
gpfwestie what are you talking about? They banned non australian cars ie: sierras and skylines, because they walked all over the shitty falcons and commodores!
