I wish that was the problem, but it isnt. I could lose maybe 5-10kg's max.

Can you weigh a standard vl for me? Im keen to know how mine with a fiberglass body and no windows can still weigh in at 1400kg's, that fat ****ing ****.
I weighed my old vl and with full tank from memory it was 1470kg.
Is that what you want to know?

I got some in-car footage of a drift from the start line right around to the tight corners.

It's not exactly the same as it was when there was thousands of people packed in to a grand stand screaming during the street drag final was on at sandown.
It's a good drivers event... I wouldnt go to spectate though.

Mate, I stayed in the same campsite as Cal, the car was driven on Saturday. It went out for a couple of cruise sessions. Due to having a tiny front mounted methanol fuel cell it only gets about two laps to a tank.
He then broke a keyway on the Sunday.
