Hamilton wins V8 street race

I for one couldn't give a hoot that Wellington missed out (before anyone leaps on me, I also wouldn't have given a hoot had we won it).

Hamilton would seem the perfect place for such an event: the picturesque river beside which the course will presumably run; a receptive population for whom the term "petrol-head" seems as custom-made as their vehicles...

My only question is... when the race actually starts, who will notice any difference?
