[@GailG-p5w]

Had the pleasure of a few fast laps in this beauty with Steve at HSRCA Sydney Classic 11/06/23 - brilliant!

[@robertomeneses5567]

Fantastic camera placement, really feel the stomach turn on some those turns and overtakes. Loved it. Go Z!!

[@MrMazRx]

what a great video, made me smile many times, thankyou 👌👌

[@etravix]

Cool, thanks for sharing. Great video! That's a strong motor on the top end. Sounds like it could turn 8K RPM all day.

[@shayne4288]

They were a great old bus...and sound good!! Nice drive.

[@xtnuser5338]

The red Corvette sure put up a good horsepower fight. I held my breath until you made the pass on him finally stick. Fantastic racecraft!

[@Pete-z6e]

The difference between a Circuit and a drag strip.

[@miguelpaneda1607]

to us it was powerful enough to outrun the datsun, but for him (stingray), hes probabl scared of getting fishtailed on the corners due to such powers it has...

[@josephrajaram3131]

Incredible, well done,professional driver,respect.

[@bradtaylor2518]

Well done

[@alanolden.7575]

Impressive driving congrats

[@cuffybert51]

Great video, good camera placement and really gives you an idea of the cut and thrust in a good Group S race.

[@riccrothall4828]

Excellent drive, that Datto sounded very happy.

[@ickisdogg3779]

Car flows very well thru the corners, setup is excellent, yeah also driven well lol. you drove the car very well, well done 🤘

[@danrobinson4863]

Spectacular, fast car, great driver! 👍

[@xr8rick]

Great driving and very patient.

[@Plasmo20]

Very tidy. Love the strategy in the passes. Sweet top end, just keeps puling.

[@rogerclark2384]

Super smooth drive.

[@Broxin7]

Awesome bit of tin-toppin.

[@seandezart8294]

Great to have held those two corners on the outside and then take the vette under braking on the next, tight right-hander......then to see 3x pork sausages for the grilling of :-)

[@PirateHarbour]

Came pretty close to running out of road but just got the job done

[@JohnLenne]

great drive Brett !!

[@joebromberg]

thank you

[@KevinBonneau-h8m]

I would put a little more camber in and have a little more over steer too. You probably have more front tire wear than. You want. And can’t quite carry the speed you want. Or if you can a little more rear brake. But it looks like it sticks well under acceleration. Seems like a bit more steering input than i use. All in all this race was better

[@PirateHarbour]

We're limited to 3 degrees in the rules, for sure could do with more camber

[@rossmoultrie885]

Bugger about the spin .. you were catching the Queenslander ..

[@PirateHarbour]

was a rim faiiure in race 2 that put me back on P31, but at least it made for a good video for race 3 :)

[@boatboy222]

Love it!

[@tomballenger1809]

Some of the best shifting I have heard in a long time!

[@geoffmcwiggan2814]

And I thought that the 6 pack chargers sounded good …. May I ask what sort of flywheel hp it’s doing? Cheers 👍🇦🇺🥃

[@PirateHarbour]

about 250 BHP at the wheels so more or less 300 at the flywheel

[@KevinBonneau-h8m]

Good slow hands. Good smooth throttle. But traffic work and using more space needs work

[@KevinBonneau-h8m]

You seem to do better in traffic tho compared when you are on your own with car. And remember in traffic you dont have to out a brake give things up to keep things going faster.

[@colinl9018]

Those Pork chops were slow?

[@PirateHarbour]

just depends on how developed they are. some are still Historic road registered, while the most highly developed ones are leading the pack ( check race 4 and 5 )

[@Llanos5]

🎉

[@bradtaylor2518]

This better than v8 supercars , anyway because all mixed race cars , lol

[@PirateHarbour]

multi class for the win!

[@vincentdandoy4772]

Rampage

[@miguelpaneda1607]

All stock engine? or did you put some upgrades on it?

[@PirateHarbour]

It's a race motor. High compression/race cam etc. Definitely not a friendly street motor.

[@miguelpaneda1607]

@@PirateHarbour a modified motor you mean?

[@PirateHarbour]

@@miguelpaneda1607 yes a lot more outright power than stock

[@jimvanbrocklin2060]

The guy in the Vet should go to driving school.

[@luisangelvalenti]

El unico que dio batalla fue el Corvete, al resto los paso como si fueran de otra categoria.

[@PirateHarbour]

verifique las próximas 2 carreras, de vuelta en la posición correcta de la pista 👍

[@silverfoxvr8541]

Motor? Looks fun. I have 91 SE-R with a NeoVVL, N1 Cams and a ton of other stuff. Just sits in my garage mostly.

[@PirateHarbour]

Original injected L28, just race spec. Lots of compression, cam, ported etc
