So that combined with the current financial crisis, I have not gone to either now.
Finding any information about any event in China is always bad. Plus there are hassles with driver's licences for foreigners. Technically no foreigner is allowed to drive in China unless they are living or working there for 12 months or more, rallies get a special exemption but it a hassle most like to not do and so do not go.
Having said that, I have been driven by a Chinese taxi driver in a car 10 years past due for the wreckers yard. He had brilliant heel toe technique and left foot braking down to a fine art. Scariest and most thrilling taxi ride I have ever done. Was from Zhuhai Airport to the Macau border gate. Would love to know what this guy could have done in a 'real' car?Happiness is using the side windows more than the windscreen
In reply to being asked what 240Kph on Watagans Road was like:-

Having seen this on previous events in China, I'm not surprised at the lack of information
If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!
