Thanks for doing that. Just doesn't seem to work for me.

Video footage is up on Mazda Australia's YouTube page of the Phillip Island 6 hour, specifically of the start of the race from Dave's car. Footage is all thanks to Ben Sale http://www.othersideproductions.com

There's a little bit of fancyness in the video which allows you to choose your camera angle... here are all 4 angles:

Thanks for doing that.
On the sat practice run I was battling it out with that mustang. There would have been some great footage, as I was within an inch of his rear bar several times. There was a lot of cars behind me at the start of the race, felt good to be right up the front.

I am uploading one more video now of the Phillip Island 6hr.... will post it up in the next hour or so.
Then, I'll start on the Winton video from last weekend.

If I do this next year I will be setting the car up to run a nominated time of 1:55. Be right at the front, and pass everyone. ;)

The only progress is i am working on the fastback. So that will be another piece done. I should finish the doors soon too. No news on when the motor will be done. I was hoping for it to be dynoed by now.

I just finished the new package on my red car. The rear wing is now 2 element (dont think it needs triple element for phillip island. I have a new front splitter/undertray, new side skirts, and a new carbon fibre fastback. I am hoping to get into the 1:53's at the island. The only other mods i want to do is remove the restrictive muffler, and put a stright thru one on. And an enclosed pod filter, instead of the factory airbox.
