Why would you bring that up, you do know a Ford Sierra placed 1st and 2nd in the 89 Tooheys 1000 right?

The HR31 came in 3rd.

1991 + 1992 was the year the Skyline conquered the mountain.

lol @ 89 bathurst

Anyways.. watching it now on TV.. pretty entertaining, lot of variety (even a bugeye in it!)

[Lump]

i didnt see any 'bugeyes', but i saw a couple of 'peanut eyes', i wonder why they dont use the 2.5l 'pignose' ?

[confuzion]

coz it would pop :P
the bugeye was a yellow sti (think it came 2nd last haha)
interestingly they didnt even use an 05 STI (which has DCCD and potentially less understeer) which *may* have been a bit closer to the evo's

[Passage GT]

for all the subi bashers, i have a best motoring here
has new sti vs previous sti vs evo 9 gsr vs the two new evo's one sst one manual
they finished in the same order i just listed them, with the sst model coming last
the newest sti also started from last on the grid, chopped them all
impressive shit

[Lump]

isnt that sti the 2.0 litre one (that we wont get here), & didnt the evo's start behind the sti's in that race?
i assume it was the one with the drift king driving the 2.0 sti

dont get me wrong i luv wrx's/sti's (well up to buy-eye anyway)

[Passage GT]

yeah it was the jap spec one
the 2008 sti started last, the 2007 started first
with the evo's in between
and yeah tsuchiya is driving the 08 sti
is a good vid
i downloaded 4 episodes of best motoring but just sorted flicked through that one to the cool bits lol
wish i understood jap though

[adrenalin]

Watched this today.

How pissed off did the guy get in the white evo haha.

Dumb shit team leader telling him to let him pass

[vy ss ute m6]

watched it today, was good seeing a mix of all sorts of cars go round n round

good shit, more of these long distance/time races needed imo

loved the VE Sportswagon, that shit is bombed!!
