The worlds fastest RCR T70 at Mount Panorama (Bathurst Australia)
An awesome fast flowing track of about 6 klm
I now have a high level of appreciation for those that do it in just under 2 minutes, as it requires about 200% commitment
The ol bloke that ran the TVR out here in NZ got a drive in a Toyota saloon class at Bathurst, was having trouble getting the hang of the circuit, ended up spinning it while running down Con Rod... was in the pits afterwards collecting his thoughts and a driver from one of the commodore teams walked in looking for him! Wanted to shake the hand of the driver of the Toyota, first time he had ever been passed by a car going backwards!With fresh Hoosier R7s 275 / 50 / 15 at 5500 rpm a 3:44 diff ratio 1/ 3.154, 2/ 1.789, 3/ 1.269, 4/ .967, 5/ .756 =~265 klmh (165mph) not quite max yet but the car loved it
