Looks like roided up Camry.  ;D

I did hear that the engine makes good power all he way to 8500rpm. I guess they will all be limited to 7500rpm or similar for parity purposes.


The season will be interesting, however I think I will quickly tune out now that they are all space frame pretenders. I really like production car racing and whilst the current series is far from ideal, I believe we have lost something in the changes.

The touring car masters is a cracking class and I enjoy that coming to the mountain every year.

The grunt he gets will be no different to the Holdens and Fords......it's all about close racing......if anyone gets a too big an advantage, they will be knobbled....the same as it's been for years

Bring back the Big Bangers!

Those Ford Clevo's and Holden 5 litres were by far the sweetest sounded engines by a country mile.

Winton Practice day today for the new COTF  vehicles.

They seem to go, sound, smell and look like the old chassis.

Alas, no three pointed stars or Nissans around.

Tander, Wincup & Reynolds were giving it a bit of stick.

You need more than four corners in a race track...

One corner is enough. Gets you off the track and onto the return road back to the pits.  ;D

Shane.
With enough horse power, sheer ignorance and a total lack of respect for your vehicle, you'll get through....

In the old days at Calder the dragsters and anyone pitted in the infield had to do a full lap of the circuit to get back to the pits.
