The best was yet to come though as Walkinshaw wanted a crack at Australia, specifically the Bathurst 1000km, the antipodean answer to Le Mans. The 1984 attempt is best left unmentioned but the following year was a different matter, the TWR team managing a 1-2-3 in Australia's greatest race with home grown Holden and Ford teams nowhere to be seen. It seems from this video that the winning car of John Goss and Armin Hahne remained down under because it can be seen taking some exercise at the Sandown Raceway near Melbourne. Sandown's long straights suit the car's V12, allowing it to howl like an AC/DC chorus to the redline as it goes up through the gears before some snarling heel and toe action under braking. This is definitely a 'turn the volume up' clip.
Welcome to Goodwood Elevenses, a mid-morning helping of motoring-related amusement to help break up your day. Watch the last video: The Ferrari 639 is a V12 beauty you’ve not seen before
