That's a great clip - and the Aussie V8 "Supercars" series generally provides some superb (and extremely close) racing. Always felt to me like the spiritual successor to BTCC from the RS500 / E30 M3 era.

Australian touring car racing has always been excellent, looking up the bathurst races from the 80s is worth it.
An absolute unit

This is true, and Mt Panorama is a special place. (Aside but it’s only when I drove it on a sim that I appreciated just how it is fast, but also relatively narrow, with nearly zero run off on several corners - very technical and very unforgiving. ). Aside 2 - it’s also really weird watching vids of Bruce Public lapping it (road track) at the 60kph speed limit ).
Even a single car lap can be entertaining

Sretens Alpina is running, quite well.

That car is cursed. I fully expect him to eventually get it perfect only for it to self immolate a day later.
How about not having a sig at all?

One day I'll have the spare time and money to get back into Hillclimbing and go to the Bathurst round with the track reversed.mik wrote: ↑Thu Sep 15, 2022 9:29 am This is true, and Mt Panorama is a special place.

Re: Decent car YouTubes
Yes... Yes, I totally meant that... They must do both Mountain straight and reverse Conrod at times. I was distracted by the improved productioness noise
Re: Decent car YouTubes
Nah, I'm pretty sure if it were he'd have come across it before - he's been in touch with BMW and Alpina regarding the car in the past, if there was something truly weird in there I expect it would have been apparent by now.

Istr seeing an outside shot of something like that, will try and find.
