Racing with the V8 Commodore race car! Nice, but you know the video was taken from other parts of the world because the steering wheel is on the right side of the car. You’re probably processing the fact that the driver also has to shift with his left hand. It’s a way of life for anyone racing down under. The Commodore is an Australian model. The car was designed with the engine positioned a good distance behind the axle. The allows for short overhangs and gives the vehicle a sporty and classy look. If you weren’t aware, crash engineers and designers actually negotiate how a vehicle will ultimately look.
As such, the fuel tank was located in front of the rear axle, as opposed to behind it. The rear end was also designed to withstand high impact crashes. If you’re ever wondered what kind of power Australian cars can put out, this is a good video to gain a little exposure.
