Man thats crazy! Im with you N, I mean some street cars that are too low have difficulty driving a lil fast over the bridge wat more of an F1 car. Be cool to see how fast he pushes it

Your not allowed on the Harbour Bridge itself while he is on it.
As Webber said, 90km/h is a long burnout :thumbsup:

harold scruby is an idiot, boo to harold scruby :thumbdwn:

"Aside from flagging the start of Webber's career with the BMW WilliamsF1 Team, and curtain-raising the 2005 Formula One season, the bridge crossing is also being staged to send some serious messages about road safety. "Safety comes first, second and third in Formula One, and while the racing might be fast, it is conducted in an environment where every safety consideration is given prominence," said Webber."

from http://www.sportnetwork.net/main/s107/st67279.htm?fromrss=1

when Bob Carr the premier himself waves the flag around for Webber to start his run across the bridge then as far as i'm concerned it's all right and legit :D
