    You are right, just couldn't remember the model and as I remember the

    hot tire to have was the Semperit (sic). I had a set on a MGB I in

    the early 70's, they were good but skinny!

    A lap around Mount Panorama, Bathurst, in a Porsche 997 GT3 Cup car. What a track!

    BTW, the Bathurst 12H started about 15 min ago and can be both heard and seen live at radiolemans.com.

    Watch the post-safety car, nail-biting final 12 minutes of the Bathurst 12H in the video below.

    You'd be excused for thinking the officials called the caution period to intentionally contrive a close finish (like the end of the recent Daytona 24H). In this case, the caution was called after a crash left fluids across the track.

    Its a shame that the DTM doesn't use the full Brands circuit. Kind of like

    NASCRAP at the Glen.

    I always loved those early 2 stroke Sonnet's. They are just So Neat! I've only seen one in my entire life up close. It was at the vintage races at Mid-Ohio 10 years ago or so. We owned a 2 stroke SAAB 96, wish we'd have had a Sonett too.

    Did you notice the ground pownder V4 Sonett in his garage? :D

    I did notice the other car and wished they would have at least mentioned it in the video.

    I never cared for the 914. As time went by I have warmed up to them to the point I really do like the 914 & especially the 914-6. Many of those cars rusted away.

    Thanks Steve!
