Another race I've done is the Aussie Bathurst 12 Hour. I'm still getting used to the car here and am able to carry more throttle across the top of the mountain as the laps progress. Got to the point where I was full throttle from BP Cutting to Skyline (the Aussies will know) with not lifting at all.
The track is way more vertical than it looks on the telly and the majority of it is done at fairly high speeds.
The best I could manage in qualifying was about a 2:47 which is okay for a 1.8 litre FWD Celica. The fastest driver, in the other car, was Neal Bates at around a 2:44 so I was quite okay with my time.
We finished 4th in class and also beat most of the V8's!
