Templestowe Flat Track Racers

The World Record setting crew from Australia, the Templestowe Flat Track Racers are at it again. This Sunday May 12th they are hoping to set another World Record with “The most F1 cars in a race where anyone with an F1 can join in”.  The current documented record appears to have been set last year in the Philippines, with 25 cars on the track. The Templestowe Flat Track Racers are hoping to get 35 drivers and vehicles to participate in the 6 minute race. After a terrible weather forecast forced them to scratch their previous attempt, here is hoping it is all systems go. Once again we wish them the best of luck and look forward to seeing some video of the event.
