   Joe (5), Are you talking about this clip or Chris Evans' radio programme?

    Well, I never expected to see much motorsport-related content at this particular location, other than where I have mentioned it.

    I have watched the clip without sound and, although the circuit looks familiar to me, I couldn’t swear that this is from Bathurst. Anyway, it would appear to be the V8 Supercar series, which is a highly popular production-based touring car championship. I take it that the pace car is leading them because of the track visitor, which is presumably therefore a flashback.

    Incidents of animals on racing tracks are unusual but not unknown, and you can discover more on this, should you be inclined, by clicking the link on my name. Alessandro Nannini, for one, experienced a groundhog day...

    I was quite schocked - as were some of the panelists!

    Horse (13), isn't that a little too close to home for you? Or do you only eat kangaroo pizza at the times when you are not a quadraped?

    Aperitif (15) - Nay, I have never eaten kangaroo pizza and never would. I'd be partial to a a good steak though, in my off-hoof days!

    Bathurst, eh? That's sort of ancestral stomping ground for me.

    I sense you may have a family interest here...

    Perhaps Rolf Harris' song "Tie me kangaroo down sport..." should be playing softly in the background...
