Power Oversteer!
This weekend we had the local round of the SA national car racing circus. This is a "Wesbank Modified", which are space frames with big
V8's. See the rubber stripe the white and red car is laying out of a corner! I took the photo on a small "point and shoot" digital.
Cheers

Apparently they are real animals to drive. This guy misses the apex with big understeer on one lap,

600hp...that explains the power sliding out of turns then
I can't think of any race series up here that comes close

Wesbank Modifieds ?
Wesbank Modifieds ? They look like 2 or 3 year old Trans-Am series race cars from the USA, as raced by the likes of Paul Gentilozzi and Boris Said
etc. They used to be on Sky alot (Motors TV etc), but I have not seen them recently. I found a piece about P.Gentilozzi winning a race on Speed
TV's website from 9/4/06,so as far as I know they are still current in the States.
