I know none of us are this crazy, but can anyone guess what he was trying to do? My first guess was he was protecting a sunroof but that wouldnt require all the weird wriggling. After hail hits your car once its done its damage right? Why bother pushing it off your car?

I'd say he's trying to cover as much surface as possible to block the hail and failing miserably.

No, not really. It's well marked and it's the best known call in Australia. There's a chicane PLUS there was recce. Everyone knows anything over 40 kph is asking for trouble.

And even then...



And ESPECIALLY after Kevin Shaw in a EVO8 damaged his back and THAT VR4 put the stage into International knowledge you have to be..... I dunno, brain faded to bare brain stem to not know where it is and know you can not win or make up time there. You sure as gently caress can lose the event there tho.

Ok, I might understand this a little if it was a rare car or something, but it looks like a Toyota Camry type appliance vehicle. Isn't that what insurance is for? The guy is risking exposure to save his common driving appliance.

It is sort of weird to see them going to places I have been (and also blowing through the city I live in right now with nobody in our car scene adding the Raunchero to the spotted on the road threads). Plus, an amazing car and grassroots racing.

That is one hell of an impressive young lady - it's her attitude that really stands her out, rather than skills (And she's good, no doubt!), her attitude and the way she thinks is incredible. Her family have to be justifiably proud of her.

Wonder if there are any other angles of that.

Also that '32 Ford's suspension is brilliant. Wonder if we'll see that trick in-wheel remote reservoir stuff in road cars anytime in the near future.
