I know this is a pretty crazy theory, but I’m thinking maybe the steering wheel has been turned a little bit to park the car on an angle. Much like the Pentagon and Vegas, there’s no CCTV footage to confirm this so I’m probably wrong.

Lovely car! Seems very sorted. If he still has the other 6, please go creep in his garage!
Did he mention why the steering wheel is on upside down though?

300 Cars were produced and homologated for the European Touring car championship.The French based FIA ,or so the story goes did not think that the Italians could produce 900 Webers in one year. They were wrong so the FIA declared the Prince Skyline was a GT car and therefor had to race with the Porches. See Japan Cup.The Japanese were incensed and sold all the cars into Australia.

It’s for when they get up on those big Australian curbs.

Factory geometry and rule limiting factory components meant we were castor limited. So the only way to achieve the right sort of geometry on turn in was to run this much camber. A new front end is being designed with more static castor and less camber.

Amazing story. Echoing other comments, one of the best this year. I wonder why they decided to ship 300 to Australia? Do you have any more background on this?

I am by no means an expert on track cars, but how is that much front camber practical around the track? I’m genuinely confused.
