Love the Ralt F3 car. Dick Bennets at WSR coached and engineered some great drivers over the years. Still have fond memories and learned a LOT from Dick. No doubt Senna was one of his favorites too.
Mr Moore does it again. Outstanding article by one of the best in the business.
Would do about anything for an A9X Torana sitting in my garage. Even a replica. One of the best looking race cars of all time. Iconic.
Very quickly becoming a fan of Charles Ng. Good luck next season Charles.
My vote is the 1980 - 1983 911SC. 3.0L aluminum case engine so no more mag case 2.7L problems, simple, classic 911. Just picked up a clean California rust free example to build a shop project '74 IROC replica weekend warrior / stripped out street racer.
You guys could possibly end up seeing it when its finished :-)
GTS Monaro. Hell yes.
I'm so envious of you right now Mike! Should be a bucket list trip for every gearhead.
I remember seeing this car, or one of the other 4WD RX7's of the era driven by Rod Millen at the Ashley Forest hillclimb, just outside Christchurch. That must have been around '88 or '89.
As a young lad it was one of the most impressive things I'd ever seen and left a lasting impression. And was cause for me to go ask for a job at his Huntington Beach shop in '91 when I first moved to the USA. Of course, I wasn't skilled enough to get the job :)
Thank you for resurrecting the memories Brad!
One of my favorite cars of all time. To not only own one in the USA but to also build it yourself to such a level of originality is a mammoth undertaking. Huge respect, and a lot of envy too.
