Nice! Fast ‘hill climb’ - the opening sequence is more like the open road challenges we have here in the US. Congrats on the win!

Very impressive, was it Mt Buller?

Roads look pretty unforgiving!

Damn impressive driving!

Being that it's a public road, do they sweep the course before the event? I would worry about errant patches of gravel destroying your grip in the worst of places!

No - they don’t sweep the road. Which makes it a bit more challenging - being a pioneer on every corner. But that’s part of the challenge - to quickly read the road surface and adapt to the available grip.
It’s seriously addictive I assure you.

Makes the Nordschleife look like a walk in the park-even less margin for error.

Just brilliant, Matt, and congratulations again. And thanks for talking to us plebs from the THC tour so soon after the victory. Loved your and Cameron’s insights and passion. Fascinating to hear how you see the differences between the GT3 and the RS playing out at the extremes
