This lead me to watch a movie called "the Beast" about Eric Banna driving an Australian made Ford in the event. This car is the polar opposite of any 911. For both an Aussie & gar guy a great watch. Also shows Eric racing in the Porsche driver series in Australia. Me thinks he blew his engine.

It is really weird.....to drive along public roads, in the middle of big cities like Adelaide, wearing a helmet, a harness, a HANS in a car that will barely idle, that is completely unroadworthy, breaking every noise rule in the book, setting off car alarms, frightening old ladies, children and dogs - then pull up at a stage start, and chat with the police.....and then drive down 15 miles of closed road as fast as you can. If you tried it the next week they'd impound the car, crush it and arrest you for looking like an idiot in a race suit.
