Nice vid MD.

Hey Tera...that little Alfetta was going very well indeed. 160hp with 960kg is very quick.
Great power to weight.

To see it battle with the 308 was very cool.

Ponderings..

The Brick is 920kgs with the same power...ooh that sounds like fun. Pitty it's never been to Bathurst.

This is a tricky circuit. If you choose short gears to haul arse up the hills, they burn your arse on the main straight. So there is only one answer. TORQUE and more TORQUE. Now if you can combine torque with handling...(and big snooker collection in the shorts) you could do well. :mrgreen:

I love that track. Almost reason enough to travel to upside down coutry.

Speaking about balls the size of water melons, I watch this vidoe now and then.

Intersting how much faster the slow corners seem from this angle than the 308.

OH MY GOD, you have to be shitting me, that is some of the best wheel work i've seen in a long while. Close racing, then destroying that last bunch of cars under brakes, was amazing to watch.

That guy in the lead who eventually got swallowed up and spat out at the end must have thought he had it in the bag.....then bam, goodbye loser... 8)

Nice link thanks mate. :wink:

Murphy's lap is still the fastest ever on the track. Set in 2003, he was more than 1 sec. faster than his nearest rival. Hell of a driver.

I agree. I'd like to see him work his way round and Alfa gearbox... Mind you that might be more painful than funny.

Fixed you say? Really?
