The VN Group A Commodore with its 5.0L V-8 has to be the one of the best sounding race cars in history, love the on-boards with Brock.

I watched this as a teenager from start to finish and loved every minute of it! Shame it never became a permanent part of Australian super car series, I do understand the irony of wishing a race in New Zealand be a part of an Australian series, but I just think it was a neat track.

I LOVE watching racecars and drivers deal with bumps and undulations on the track.. I must be in the minority, because all tracks are flat as billiard tables these days.. Oh well, plenty of these wonderful old races on youtube to smile to..

I drove that circuit back in the mid-90s (1995? 1996? Too long ago now to remember cleary) in a Nissan Primera GT touring car. What I remember most was how bloody bumpy and slippery the track was along the waterfront, especially at the southern end (before a sharp right-hander) . I think there were train or trams tracks set in the bitumen, and when wet it was like being on ice.
@brucelamberton88192 жыл бұрын
I just watched the video. Yeah, Cable Street - that was where it was so bloody bumpy. Then I think the sharp riight-hander was at the end and you went around Herd Street where the track ran VERY close to that cream building (Telecom NZ? i looked on Google Maps and it doesn't seem to be there any more - all very different now).

I think this matter should also be done towards the R32 in the Macau Guia Race before this Nissan Mobil 500, not implementing 140kg (from unrestricted 1260kg to penalized 1400kg, 600hp) unlike to this Gibson R32 running in an unrestricted 1325kg, 700hp.
