But nothing, and I mean NOTHING, can ever truly replicate the feel of a properly timed heel-toe from 3rd down to 2nd going into a corner.
I disagree...
A properly timed heel-toe from 4th down to 3rd going into a faster corner, is a superior feeling


and here I was thinking that a down-shift from 3rd to 1st was the best feeling ever

Be sure to set your DVR up or possibly watch it live. On October 8th, Speed will be showing the Bathurst 1000 race of the Aussie V8 Supercar series

I used to have an autographed poster of the 1990 Bathurst 1000 winner that I got signed at an auto show when I was in Sydney. Wish I had kept it.

Any thoughts?? NYS DMV is going to drop eye exams for drivers license renewals. You only need to self-ceritfy that you can see.

http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2011...-renewals/?hpw

Is this Good or bad? Does not lead to a decrease in license renewal fees, therefore it appears to be either
A) a cost reduction step. Lower cost = higher profit margin
B) reflective of layoffs state-wide where the DMV has to make do with fewer people. Eliminating a step that is consuming resources may help them maintain current service levels.

But then the corner speed is too low, and boring
