There was something similar a few years back in Australia ... except some Jap idiot in an F40 had to kill himself and kill a marshall in the process.

I doubt there'd be another one like it again in this country.

Australia's not large enough for it .... US has the distance for a decent road-rally.

THere was some dude with a boosted lambo with revolving numberplates or so i hear.

Id love to see some chase footage. Nothing to fancy apparently, they just floor it and loose anyone past 200kmh.
