Mark Winterbottom says he would choose Mount Panorama at 300kph over climbing Sydney Harbour Bridge any day of the year after conquering his fear of heights to reach the summit yesterday.
The Ford Performance Racing driver, who is from Sydney, said it was a long-held ambition to see his home city from the impressive vantage point and the perfect opportunity arose when New Zealand's TV3 and Channel 7's Sunrise show offered to film him.
"It's all about your comfort zone I suppose," said Frosty, who will be driving the Castrol FPR Falcon with team-mate Steve Richards at Bathurst this weekend. "Some people would have no problems with this but would struggle at 300kph down Conrod Straight! I've just never been good with heights but I think I've conquered my fear now."
Frosty and Richo will get their first outing on the track tomorrow (Thursday) in Practice One at 10.40am. |
