Damon Hill's Wild &Wackraces: Backwards Stock Car

Top Gear should do something like this

Incredible! Surprising that this actually gets pulled of this well.

I always watched that show when I was young. As you can see near the end there are lot of DAF 66's used for these races. These cars were (standard) equiped with a variomatic gearbox. Topspeed in reverse was the same as the forward topspeed! After a few years there were no DAF 66's left in Holland

  That was funny! Around here I've never seen races like this, or caravan-races... or events such as the Lemons 24 hours. And it sucks 'cause I'd be the first in line to register!

Great memories, Peter!  Can't view the video at the moment, but in my head I can still hear André van Duin's commentary: "M'n gras, m'n gras!"
