      The more they made the cars the same, the more boring the racing got, in my opinion. Watching a nose to tail train of cars that only overtake in the pits is dead-set boring, in my opinion. Even F1 has gone that way now, unfortunately

    Mate!! Ol mate in the 20B and myself have the exact same race mind. There's nothing better than battling a weapon of a car as the underdog and re-adjusting your lines and STILL making the guy in the other car check his rearview wondering where the hell that annoying fly has gone only to see the little bastard creeping on your outside to finesse you for the inside line at the next corner. This was gorgeous to watch. Excellent capture!

      I'd take the Mustang, It has so much potential. If you make a slight mistake battling in the turns, the torque from the V8 would help out on the straights and turn exits. funny enough, the mustang actually seems more gripped up in the corners, the Mazda slid a bit. You can fight the weight with good driving skills like the driver does here.

    The Mazda-Fiat (Mafiat?) seems to have the edge on intermediade straights where it can rev high but absolute top speed is not a factor and it seems to have higher cornering speed if the driver nails the corner entry. That's where the Mustang looks a lot more stable. Plus low rev torque and top speed are better. Really good fun to watch.

      I thought it was surprisingly there at the end of one straight in particular, maybe it was about entry speed at the previous cnr. The V8 got all the holeshots by sticking it's fat arse out and using torque but the rotor had some good terminal speed.
