Sweet!... I wish there was more online info about Killarney Race track.

I last rode on that track in 1994, a couple weeks before I moved to the US.. :D

In fact, being such a gear head and speed freak, I agreed to sell my CBR400RR to the guy who bought it, only if he let me thrash it around the track for one last session... ;) Which I did, and they trailored the bike away to it's new home that afternoon.

Back on Topic:

That track is a very short and bumpy demanding track, and I can tell you those Porsches take some balls to throw around on that track at high speeds.

You see those tall gum trees behind the pits? They line the back straight away :shock: :shock:

So a get off or wreck can see you wedged into a 60ft tall gum tree :)

Hi RC45, perhaps you can come back and visit some time, and take an RC45 around the track this time ... :lol:

I am editing an in-car video taken from inside a Porsche on a Club track day, with a superimposed map in the lower corner (like they have on the telly).
So watch this space. I'll need to find somewhere to host though ... :|

I have just posted another (short) video clip of a Ferrari going off at Turn One - perhaps Table Mountain will bring back memories for you?

Sweet!!!

Yeah - I miss the 4 Passes (Stellenbosch, Jomnkershoek, Sir Lowry's Pass), Chapmans Peak, the run over the SIlvermine section to Houtbay... :sigh:

PM me if you need some etra video space - I will help a fellow Kaapie out.. ;)

Thanks RC45, I might take you up on the offer :) - but don't hold your breath, it'll be a while before I have finished the editing. So much to do ...

Here's another Porsche in the Western Cape ... a 968 cabriolet. 8)
(IMHO, one of the most underrated Porsches)

Thanks :D

That stirs some memories.. ;)

Malmesbury - where "I can hold it open for the second sweeper" men are seperated form the boys.... ;) I always found that an intimdating set while cranked over on the bike...
