This thing is going to be awesome. I’ve seen the list of some of the other cars that are going to be there that weekend, and I’m hanging out.
It’s not often that you get to see cars like this in the flesh, actually going for gold on the track.
I’ve heard that of the 500+ entrants, there are 80 odd international drivers coming to Phillip Island for the weekend too. Goes to show what a big event it’s going to be.

Well its a shame we’ll never see anything that powerful racing ever again cos all the categories are slowing them down. But for good reason if they didnt slow them down then there would be a lot more deaths in motorsport.

The number 6 you see in the top picture is worth $2,250,000 back in 1991.

The car was originally white in color and sold to Alan Hamilton in Australia.

He then sold it back to Porsche, they painted it to Sunoco colours and put it in the Museum.

It should worth considerably more now.

Now I wait for Toyota Paul to think Toyota is the best because he knows a servey that says his Toyotas are more reliable and his Toyota does 1342kw and this only does 1178kw.

Looks allright!

WATCH OUT!!! If it’s 1178kw, Toyota Paul will come along and saying it sux bacause a Toytota V6 dragster does better than that!!!

Rejoice! Your grandpa driving an antique from a museum is faster than you in a Nissan GT-R.
