[@Mo_tism]

That’s sick! Had no idea Carl Cox was a car guy! Makes sense thinking about the names of some of his tunes now

[@jase666ify]

Look up Carl Cox motorsport, the legend Michael Dunlop rides for him isle of man tt

[@jcr6548]

That microphone change is pure aussie gold 👏🤣

[@honestpat7789]

This looks like such a sweet event, and the atmosphere seems super chill, despite it being a competition 👌 Also, thanks ST for sorting out my subscription and calendar. I’d die if I missed out on my monthly read 😂

[@thewrathofbibby3381]

WTF DJ Carl cox. wow guys a legend

[@MafiaboysWorld]

Carl Cox should be putting his four decks in the trailer and doing some DJ sets every night for you all during the journey. He is an absolute wizard if you've ever seen him do a set live. 😎👍 Also, no big interview with the defending champ the Big Dawg? 😢🤷 I wanted to hear some haulass banter about whatever shenanigans he got into before arriving there. 😁

[@Low760]

Or they could play good music?

[@MafiaboysWorld]

@DJ_CodNub Oh I know that, and he's been burning those tyres for a few years now. 😎👍 I'm just saying he IS the master and it would be a good bonus. 😉

[@paulheywood2116]

He’s a local now

[@victorbitter583]

Patience grasshopper. On both fronts.

[@MafiaboysWorld]

@@victorbitter583 I knew a girl named Patience. She was the boss's wife at a tool company. 😁👍

[@damoryan3873]

Good luck to all the guys. Can't wait to see more clips of it

[@defjam2026]

[@renogkus4478]

I seen a k swap turbo in there absolutely love it 👌🏼 Hope we see the torana go that way 😊

[@Hezath]

[@Sysiphos]

Keen to see how it goes for everyone. Dammit @HaulassGarage why no video of prep, also shame mr BCW doesn't have a car to race

[@Tonyclifton-q4f]
