Eastern creek is very flat, I have been there a couple of times and I cant picture that corner on that circuit.

Its not Bathurst, Darwin, Amaroo, Adelaide, Queensland, Albert Park Melbourne, Winton, Bahrain, Eastern Creek
It might be NZ... No I just worked it out, its Perth.
The sign on the concrete says Westrac which is a West Aus based Co

google search westrac v8 supercars

I've been to thirty different countries but Perth WA was a bit too remote for me.

Same corner, using four wheels for traction.

Great find bud, albeit different car???

And although it looks like the same track. Is that pic not taken from Oran Park, Sydeney??

That is absolutley 100% the right-hand crest leading into the long uphill left hander at Barbagallo Raceway in Perth.



Very easy to get it wrong there as you need to be braking and turning in the opposite direction very shortly after the car has done what its doing the pic. If you do it slightly early, you spin and end up off the track but it falls away quite steeply and you end up a LONG WAY off the track with very sandy uphill re-entry to the corner and therefore lots of time lost.
Ive been watching Club racing, Touring car racing and bike racing from that spot since I was 5yrs old. Have crested that corner in a VX SS Gen3, a couple of formula fords, an ROH cup VK Commodore, on a firebalde and an R1, in two different Triumph 2000PIs and a Nissan Patrol.



But I wont go on....

Mose - no the other picture posted is indeed the same track. Look closely at the advertising on the right of the car you can see the tops of the letters www.wascc etc. Thats the website for the WASporting Car Club who own and run the circuit.

I could go on about the Barbagallo involvement but it would only upset me.
