interesting..... do they have some form of traction control? or are they stock in that sense?

 

also noticed that their ride's set up quite low and for such rough roads... they should be feeling every grain of sand on their butts? [rolleyes]

I don't think its traction control but rather Launch Control.

 

Yeah the ride height is low but they have heaps of spare bumpers for any parts replacement.

yeah...

 

Been keeping up with WRC 2006. They just completed Argentina.

 

Looks like Sebastian Leob might win this round. Lets monitor and see... [sweatdrop]

 

Well, I think the coming Argentina Rally, Ford's Marcus Gronholm might win..... [sly]

Yeah..

 

The Perth WRX club had a Possum Cruise. In my opinion that cruise was just an excuse for them to speed.

Possible but not recommended. We wouldn't want to hit a Kangaroo. [laugh]

 

To run over a snake in the outback is a chargable offense.

 

Also a chargable offense to Kill a Black Widow Spider (God damn deadly) is illegal even if the spider pose a danger or is attacking you.

It has before on V8 Supercar Race. [sweatdrop]

 

All sorts of things wonder on the circuit. There was a video clip on a hare that jumped on the circuit and got blown to pieces by a V8 "Supercar" [laugh]

You should try and catch the real thing.

 

Mondeost and me caught the 2004 Telstra WRC Rally Australia. Get to watch first hand how Solbery and Loeb attack those corners. Watching real life is like a fast forward version on TV. Its so much quicker ... and the sound of ALS nearly threw my ear drums sweatdrop.gif

 

I think it'll be the last year for Perth in 2006..

 

I remember I was there in Perth that year....

 

Only watch the Shakedown event at Gloucester ... nearly hit by a flying stone...

I took a few hits myself too in 2004. [sweatdrop]

 

Unfortunately the tourism board decided in all its wisdom to end WRC because "it wasn't bringing in enough tourist" [:|]

advertising isn't the only thing... Must org up close and personal with drivers,cars whatever...

Oh well, they probably thought its a self automated money generating machine. [rolleyes]

 

I'm hoping to catch this year's show if possible. [sweatdrop]
