    Very sad day. A true gentleman, legend of the sport and one of our most under-rated drivers. His Grunter Datsun 1600 was the stuff of legend.

    Or the sane from the crazy. We were a couple of cars behind this one in 2013:



    There is very little time to be gained from going over the top at speed as once you hit the bottom you're hard on the brakes for a tight left hander and a bit of twisty stuff that you can't carry a lot of speed through anyway.
