Gymkhana seems to be just like circuit sprinting, but with donuts. Cars fly around corners, pull handbrake turns around sharp bends, and light up their tyres as they lay down rubber, dizzyingly spinning around a cone. It's addicting to watch and that's exactly what I spent my time doing at round 5 of the OZGymkhana series at Tailem Bend Motorsport Park.
Subaru WRX's featured heavily in the lineup of cars. That's understandable, with their AWD and rally pedigree, one would think this sort of stuff would suit them perfectly. And it did. They dashed off the line and tore through the first series of bends, making that distinct and very familiar exhaust burble. Driven properly, these cars were easily the fastest out there. So long as it was provoked enough to oversteer and not get drowned in dreaded understeer, drivers could get all four wheels spinning harmoniously and carry out gracious slides, much to the spectators delight.
