'Rocco R20

[Lima]

Note Car #13 .... some crazy Australians racing a Toyota Corrolla .......

Because this is VWW I will bite my tongue and simply ask you to list all the awesome cars you have raced at the N24, the Bathurst enduros, the APCC or at Targa Tasmania? I can hardly wait.

Here is a list of the Aussies that competed:

Here's a 6 part update from those crazy Australians:
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6

Here's an article with Colin Osborne on what it takes to prep and race a car at the N24.

All the guys that go this race simply love the competition. Some are there in serious machinery and others are there simply for the love of motorsport.

I dare say those being critical are either jealous, ignorant or a little bit of both.

Oh, if you want to check out 70+ images of the Roccos from the N24, then knock yourself out.

Thanks Lima

As if you didn't have access to them anyway.

[phaeton]

Actually I don't have access to VW Motorsport Press site

[Lima]

Well you should sort that out quick smart!

I held a Motorsport license for many years in South Africa and competed in many different events at club level in many different cars, some awesome and some not .... and definately have an appreciation of the passion people have for the sport.

With this being a VW forum, my inuendo was purely aimed at a Toyota and not at the people involved. Surely racing a VW, any VW, would be better (from this forum's view ?)

And yes, I am jealous, of not being there myself and having the oppertunity to race at the 'Ring. That said, I have a 4 week holiday planned in Europe next year with 4 days planned at the 'Ring itself. Have you been there?

[Lima]

Yes. In May 2006. If I had the budget it would be an annual trip.

Awesome ! I have actually read that before, didn't make the connection until now though.

Yes, time and money is always the issue. Normally when I have 1 I don't have the other ....

This time however I hope it all comes together. Plan on using 1 of the car hire companies linked to on the Ausringers site. Who would you recommend?

Dale at RSR (also see bridgetogantry.com) or Heidi & Theo from Rent-Racecar.
