GC 600 Touring Car Masters
If you don't like seeing muscle hit walls, don't watch... Amazing how hard these guys push their machines.
Note: THEY ARE 99% EXACTLY AS RACED BACK IN THE 60's and 70's. No modern stuff is aloud.
Action resumes around the 8min mark.

It's always good to get another Touring Car Masters link. Thanks!
The cars aren't 99% recreations, but they're still great and really mesh well with the idea of pro-touring and modern improvements in old cars for the sake of performance, fun, and reliability.
http://www.touringcarmasters.com.au/...formation.htmlSetting itself apart from traditional Historic racing, the Touring Car Masters pioneered a new class of racing by introducing innovative technical regulations aiming to improve safety, reliability, cut running costs and provide an exciting and entertaining race package while maintaining the visual appeal of its period race cars.
The Touring Car Masters immediately struck a winning formula, with its mix of classic hero cars and modern improvements, such as disc brakes, dry-sumped engines and radial tyres, producing intense, dynamic racing right from the outset.

Yeah you're right, i meant stuff like new suspension setups and efi etc. Dry sumps were around back then yeh? As were disc brakes.

Great racing...that Mustang seems accident prone...looks like the one that got punted off the bottom of Caltex Chase and into the tyre wall by the Charger at this years Bathurst 1000.

Love the way they just toss them around. Driving them sideways on little tiny tires like when I was a kid.
