Just watched on Foxtel here in Australia the first Improved Production race from Adelaide & on the first row was a 1200 coupe, probably with an SR20 turbo. Pole position, amazingly, was a 2 litre Honda Civic. The 1200 shot into the lead at the flag drop, but only lasted 2 laps before losing boost & retiring. The race was won by a Toyota Sprinter with a 3SGE turbo, from the Civic. A couple more 1200 Coupes were through the field, plus a 1600(P510) that head-butted the wall & a Bluebird (P910). There's 2 more races over the weekend, probably one tomorrow & one Saturday. Maybe a 1200 will last long enough to win. The Sprinter wasn't catching the 1200 at all, until the lost boost. Who knows if it'll make the TV overseas, but it'll probably be on YouTube. It's worth watching for the save the Civic driver made at the first chicane, was a major pile up avoided by great driving.

wow, thanks for letting us know about this
