Much like the TT its an event i'd like to get to at some point.
Eric Bana's documentary on running in it called "Love the beast" is worth a watch if anyone's not seen it.

I'm envious, I've had a couple of planned trips to Tassie thwarted although the co-driver will undoubtedly be extremely proscriptive about driving enthusiastically...unzippy wrote: Fri Dec 05, 2025 3:31 pm The west coast of Tassie is fantastic driving roads - all immaculately tarmacked too, presumably for/due to Targa.
Got the boat over, stopped at Cradle Mountain for a couple of nights then due west and down to Queenstown, east and down to New Norfolk and back to civilisation of Hobart. Just had 4 new PS4s fitted too - amazing drive![]()
Closer to home (assuming you're still in Melbourne?) is the Mt Buller sprint coming in February. I went a decade(s wtf) ago and had fun.
Love the beast great film, must rewatch.

Re: Decent car YouTubes
I had a proper lol moment watching that. One of the defining qualities of the area I live in (Forest Gate) is that it's full of kids ragging around in BMW Ms and Merc AMGs with pop bang remaps, it's like a competition to see who can have the flashest, newest car and also make the most noise and hit 60mph in a 20mph limit, anytime day and night. And the BMW in Mat's video? When it was cloned, it was MOT'd in Forest Gate, and then the 'cousin' of the new owner drove it like it was stolen
Re: Decent car YouTubes
Brilliant, even if it is in foreign.
I remember loving those F2 cars as a youth, its definitely a major contributory factor as to why my car is the way it is

Delecours and Panizzi aggressively attacking European tarmac stages in Esso Ultron 306s is a core memory
Still remember that video Chris Harris did with Delecours, he's definitely got a screw loose

Re: Decent car YouTubes
There's an article on the BBC about car cloning too.

Although buying a car that's 4-5k under book for cash should surely ring some bells regardless!
