How long before those BRZs hit the dealer forecourts, never raced or rallied!

There's lots of grumbling about these laps on the main TT forum. You don't go to the TT to look at cars.

Would not be suprised if Subaru pay Anders to take that vid off as it can't do them any good lol.

To be fair most cars would bottom out at 40-50mph over the bridge (apart from the Impreza).

Off topic but I had a run over the mountain road this morning in the GTR


I wasn't watching the speedo, but changed up in to 6th so about 165-170mph

Mind you, John McG has just pointed out it does clear the wildlife off the course before the races, so there is some benefit to it.

Strange how the BRZ's jumped and crunched, the Imprezas in between, which must have been lapping at similar speeds??? didn't.

Very nice, maybe Nissan should try to break the Subaru "record" next year.

The BRZs seem to crunch at the back, maybe exhaust box? At least the sumps havn't been taken off them, that would be embarrassing.

nice vid, makes me want to go even more now! Maybe a daft question but assuming that the road is only open to one way traffic as nothing was coming the other way ... ?

Lol, I'd have a death wish if it was two way traffic. They make the mountain road one way for the duration of the TT these days. In days of old it was only one way on the Sunday after practice week, they called it Mad Sunday
