The big annual endurance race is on at Bathurst today, and I can't help but feel a tiny pang of loss because we don't make cars here anymore, so it's all Mustangs and Camaros these days.
We used to call this category "Taxi racing" because the cars had to be based on the production model sedans, which also happened to be the cars of choice for taxis. But taxis didn't have 5l V8s generating 650 hp.
To be fair, the coupes do look much cooler hooning up and down the mountain. π€·ββοΈ π
