My reaction at the speeds we are seeing in that video and my lack of good depth perception will always handicap me. I wanna go fast and will push this little miata as hard as I can, but a full out race car wouldn't be a good idea with someone that can't judge depth with precision. You will see how close he is on the 911's ***. I can't drive that close as I really can't tell 5' from 7' away. Let alone inches. I have caught many a flying object in the face growing up due to my awesome depth perception. One good thing is, I have one hell of a hard head as a result. 
Anyhow.
What we race with when you race production sports car racing in Aussie and do the 1 hour series.
With drivers like John Bowe (former v8 and group A driver among much more) Sorrensen from Europe etc, bought to race with the rich buggars, its makes it hard to even qualify let alone race.But what the f&*k its all fun!!!!
So lets see what these top dollars cars can do. AND watch all of it, you'll know what I mean

Here's a link to what I think was tbro's Coulthard off-road adventure vid...
They should hire him as their mechanic. He took that car apart and had it strewn all-over in less than three seconds.

"You can fix cars mate!" :P That had to have one been a hell of a ride. Modern safety equipment is phenomenal. Look at the violence of those rolls and he walked away. I'm sure he felt like an MMA training dummy the next day, but that was amazing.

Nope I was talking about the yellow Lambo that started in post 21.
Unfortunately for his team, Ted slammed into a wall in Qualifying and stuffed the car completely. It also recorded impact at over 10g's so to hop out of the car is indeed a testament to the safety equipment.
And as for Fabian's little excursion, it'll buff out!!!!

Eastern Creek March 2010 CUE 1 hour
Some photos showing some of the cars we had to race with, my car no 55 was a 1.6 110rwhp trying to stay out of the way of some slightly faster cars 
Scary when the difference at the start to turn 1 can be over 100 kph between us and say a Lambo or GT40.
BTW the owners of these slightly faster cars usually bring in professional drivers to make sure they will win.
2 driver cars run min 20 mins max 40mins per driver, some run the whole race, but still need to pit, hop out, leave the car and jump back in and go racing.
If you look closely we qualified somewhere in the mid pack
this one didn't make it to Sunday, concrete walls ain't forgiving!!!!
And finished 3rd in class.
One car I'm glad wasn't with us,
See ya!!

I'm backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!
From the V8 round, mates car, engineered by my best mate . So watch and enjoy.
Oh yeh, it is one of them and yep you can race a FWD. BTW the blue car is an old V8 Supercar with 40mph advantage on the straight.
Keep watch on the left side coming into turn 1.
Enjoy,
Terry
