Yep great vid mate, thanks for that! I loved how the Sony lady was telling Dan to punch the air after he won and he's like yeah whatever haha hilarious!

I'm sorry if it's been posted already but I'm still not sure if the tracks were the same for AUS and NZ...? And what was the order and in which version of car...?

Just watched it, great racing, really close between Holland and Devie right up to the point where Devie was tapped and got really sideways, thanks for the video and good luck to all the finalists tomorrow!

such close racing.. slip streaming is gonna have such a big effect of the outcome

Nice video and interview. Just for the record the race driver's name is spelled Seton, aka baby-face Glenn Seton (as when he started racing he looked about 15).

He's right about fitness. Around the time the technology was becoming available (mid eighties) they had strapped a heart rate monitor with telemetry onto him before a race. By the end of the first lap he was at 180bpm, which is phenomenal really, you have to be almost superhuman to sustain that for a whole race.

Congratulations to Dan for the win, and let's see you do the Aussie's proud at the finals.

[Louie_Schumii]

What was Jonny saying while you were behind the wheel? Couldn't have sounded too pleasant if he's trying to speak out of his full face helmet

 

[TiZzla]

i could hear him pretty clearly, he was just telling me to go faster and when i should be apexing the corners or flooring it

 

[CoolColJ]

edit - whoops

looks very sweet the spectator mode from 3:25 onwards!!

Nice 👍. Reminds me of the first time I tried something half quick on a closed circuit . My heart nearly exploded

Definitely want to see what 3 News will make of the day

A few of us portuguese finalists met yesterday for dinner and a drink 👍

It was a pleasure to meet Meagainstyou, FilipeSPereira and Carllitos and associate a face to the nicknames.

The final is 2,5 hours from now, I can hardly wait to meet the rest of the guys and try and do my best

Good luck mates!

 

[Timppaq]

Good luck to you all 👍 👍 👍 Drive safely!

 

[PASM]

Looks like Dan was pretty relaxed heading down the back straight for the the last time. If that was me, I would have been nervous has hell with my hands shaking on the steering wheel.
