Is it an XR6? Is it an XR8? No! It's XR-Mini!

Aussie Racing Cars.
That's what they compete in with those cars. It was on SBS during Speedweek.

Yeha, they have been around for a while. Saw them running around at clipsal this year and they are cool. Can anyone say "Son's 10th Birthday Pressie"? (If I had a son I knew about)
Without doing any surfing, I think they run 1100cc motorbike engines, but don't hold me to that. |

They rev like mad, go very fast, and provide excellent racing action. Watching 4 ARC's going side by side around corners fanastic, and the overtaking never seems to stop.

yeah run 1100cc engines, would be great fun, and they are pretty bloody quick to, on certain corners of tracks they corner at the same speed as V8 Supercars and lap times are pretty close (Depending on the track). They are great fun to watch, especialy at QLD raceway, at the end of the straight into turn 1 where the nice bumps are, these little things leave the deck there. Would be great fun to race.
If you wanna know more about them jump over to http://www.aussieracingcars.com.au all the info is there on what they are, where they run etc etc.

They might be a bit of fun on the track , but you wouldn't catch me for dead drivin one of those on the local roads ! , they look funny as ! . ;) . Almost like a suped' up version of those little cars that clowns drive around in at the circus

Someone in another thread said the blue arrow was to do with the electronic lap timing on the track(I think).

I've seen these guys battle it out at Wakefield, it really is great to watch and a good way to get into motor racing with a team of mates.
