What is up with Aussie racing? Almost every year there is a collision between a race car and a Kangaroo.

"The first retirement of the race was star-crossed peter Kox in the Peter Kox in the #23 JBS Swift Lamborghini Gallardo. In his first two trips to Mount Panorama, Kox's teammates crashed the car before he got to drive a alp".

"This time Kox was first driver, so he at least got to participate in the race. Unfortunately, on Lap Six a kangaroo jumped in front of his car. Kox was able to limp back to the pits but the car was so damaged it had to be retired".

All true, but the Nissan didn't retire because of the kangaroo. Skippy took out one of the lamborghinis. The Nissan retired after collecting a Ferrari which had spun at skyline and was stranded at the side of the racing track.

Unfortunately I missed the crash itself, I was only 20 metres away but couldn't see the track. Only got there to see the nissans rear wheel and diffuser being picked up from the other side of the barriers. A huge accident.

I made a mistake. It was not the Nissan. It was the the #23 Lambo.

FYI, this was from the SAB1K race last year, and the video description confirmed it.

I know. There was not a current video up when I posted that. Same outcome, though.
