What a weekend of racing, Formula 1 was blitzing around Suzuka in Japan while the Bathurst 1000 was taking place down under. Every time I see a “real” road course (like both of those) I feel sorry for our rc guys racing on flat ozite tracks. If they only knew how fun/challenging a road course can actually be. [...]
