V8 Supercar drivers take on Abrams Tank
22 June 2007
Tasman Motorsport's Jason Richards and four-time Bathurst winner Greg Murphy swapped their Holden Commodore V8 Supercars for a 1500-horsepower, gas turbine Abrams Tank on Thursday, as they gear up for this weekend's SKYCITY Triple Crown.
While Murphy and Richards will reach speeds of 270km/h on-track at Hidden Valley Raceway, the lethal Abrams peaks at 67km/h - but they go pack a whole lot more firepower!
