Default Re: The Moffat Coupes.

Thanks GTXB67. It might have been one of your posts where I read about the Jackie Ickx caning the brakes.
After watching the DVD, he (Ickx) sure was pushing through his stint and probably had a few near misses with lapped traffic (some that wasn't shown on the DVD) Commentators mentioned the pit boards were out to tell Ickx to 'back off', Moffat was praising at the podium that he (Ickx) was lapping in the 2 minutes 28 seconds bracket, doesn't compare to the qualifying times, but for his first time at Bathurst, he was doing these times with a tired car on tired rubber during a midday stint with lapped traffic to contend with!
I thought he did pretty well, along with Geoff Brabham with his late stint.
