Whilst on holiday we went to visit the awesome St Ives track in North Sydney - awesome friendy atmosphere and I decided to test out the new Sony HS15 action cam.

Awesome video - And, if the video is an accurate representation of the field of cars then sure the TRF201 is much more used than in the Netherlands! :o

Drove the old track at the '89 Worlds - wonderful to see that rostrum I stood on but the track as changed a bit! Jimmy, Vicky, if you have the same holiday as me, you'll never forget it and may wonder if you want to come home!! Enjoy it all, and thanks for the lovely video to remind me of my time there.

I think it's the buggy someone is referring to that GOT BBQ'ed!

Mrs Oople, what happen to that buggy? Looked like a catastrophic accident?

Lipo blow-up??

I'd be interested to know.

Chap put his lipo on charge, in the car, and put the lot in the kitchen sink - then went out. Lipo went off and when he got back the entire house was filled with black soot. Luckly because it was contained in the kitchen sink it didn't burn the house down but caused a lot of damage.

The car was pretty much totally destroyed, maybe you could re-use one of the screws or something. Interesting to see the carbon delamination on that b44.1 tho, I didn't realise it was all straight carbon with a single layer of woven carbon top and bottom. At least, the top decks were.

I have a lipo bag thing - I doubt it would stop anything like the inferno that destroyed this car.
