Default 928 Competing on Speed Channel

Speed covers an Australian rally series that includes some casual footage of a 928S4 in the competition. IIRC, this is from 2005. Program repeats on speed channel on the west coast at 1am tomorrow 11/2. Interesting on-road rally footage, made more so by having the 928 in the mix.

Not to spoil it for you - but they reshaped a couple of large trees with the 928. Nobody hurt but new bodyshell required. I may have some pics at home.

Same event that Peter Brock (Ozzie motor sport legend) was killed in. Not the same Peter Brock in the US that was involved with COrvettes? or Cobras?

The car they show in the event (one of at least two who scored well) is dark blue. Didn't see the red one at all in any of the driving footage. I captured and cleaned the show, have it on CD (590mb at 320x240 mpeg1) if someone wants to host it for a bit.
