Title: VMRC WINTON - VRA RACING - ALFETTA GTV6 12v 3.0L vs ALFETTA GTV6 24v 3.2L

Thought I'd share the in car video from our last race of a fantastic weekend racing with the NSW Alfa Racers from the Veloce Racing Association. This was a race long battle to the end against Simon Grierson in his very slick GTV6 24v 3.2L weapon.

I think I need a power upgrade....

Very entertaining as always Mick. If you could just get your dust pan out and clean up that dirt that has been rolling around in the passenger footwell since Philip Island 2008 you might have found those few 1/10ths you needed at the end.

Why don't they just start making Alfetta GTV's again

What a great dice!  Love it, you definitely had better mid-corner speed, and the pass round the outside at the water tower was magic.

Yeah, it's a bitch being able to monster him all through the corners, out manoeuvre him in the turns, only to have him
skip past on the straight sections . . . very frustrating.

But as they say, "how fast do you want to go . . . . how much money ya got?"  :)

That was thrilling - Thanks for sharing!
He started defending the outside of that corner & you get him with the over/under [or is that under over?] - Unreal!!... But that red car has got some serious poke!!!
