Re: A4 quattro Race Results - Australia

[chan@bach.seattleu.edu]

I think the they are all 2.0 litres engine and they all make around 300hp.
Even the Volvo is 2.0 litre. I watched a couple of race on Prime network
a few months i.e. last year 95' races. I am not sure about the Audi though
since this is the first year they race in the series. I think all the car
has manual steering and non-power assisted brakes since the a couple of drivers
were interviewed and they pionted out these cars are quite heavy and quite a
handful to handle. Vauxhall and Renault were also in the race.  

This is a totally unrelated subject but since there were so many discussion
in this group about rear fog lights, the race in Dontington Park last year,
it was a BTCC race, the leading Volvo front windscreen fogged up so 
bad he need to drop back behind his teammate and his teammate turned on his
rear fog light so he can followed him! It was particular interesting when
they showed the in car camera from the drivers point of view. I guess they
are useful even for race car! :)
