IDC what anyone says - Pound for pound one of the quickest commodores any factory holden team (before or after HRT) has ever taken to bathurst, equal even to the golden child - the quality of competition & lap speed of other competitors in the field at bathurst at the time was A+, just a podium finish by skaifey & GT would've been somewhat of a disappointment.. such a shame it never even made it to turn 2 let alone saw lap 2 or 161

Love the flame belching out of the exuste

Dipper and esses they sond ausome live!

Pete was one of my closest radio pals, I miss him so much. Thanks for sharing the QSO. Eli 2WR2811

The master at work.

Its pretty easy i got up on my yz85

cool

@andrewdoyle88 they have a way different gearbox set up to a normal car.

I'm getting an 2004 TT-R 250 in 5 days. These vids are getting me so keen. Awesome footage!

who says race car drivers cant do ballet?!

@becANDkelsTV No! chinese bikes suck!

std pipe, no airbox cover :D

Skaife was the master of the H pattern gearbox in v8 supercars the way he could come off Conrod straight at Bathurst 3oo km/h into the braking area on the limiter then just as casual as ya like go from 6th to 2nd gear i never seen any one else do better smoooooooooooooooooth

Nice Pumas

Yeah, they still had it but only on the later cars. Can shift on the limiter if you time it right and/or use enough force. Dunno about you guys but I miss the old H pattern box in racing these days :(

@vlfreak Not when this video was made. All the cars had an H-Pattern gearbox at this time.

@vlfreak Cuts off the injectors rather than ignition.

@vlfreak why this type of stuff isn't in street cars this would be cool

Fuck I'm exited I get to go on a hot lap with mark skaif this year at indie it gona be hell fun.

@vlfreak the older cars had a H box, you can still flat shift as you pull the stick back so from 1st to second and 3rd to 4th, 5th to 6th when he goes accross the box he will use the clutch.

no need, cam has audio.. vid was made for my young bloke, so music vs audio was his choice :)

i wanna hear the dirt bike not the music get an external audio recorder tape it by ur exhaust and sync it with the video

it really hard! I want auto is better.

hehe man this is an old vid, i should upload some better res footage of more current stuff :)

yeah that part is vital

lol

I know this was 8 months ago - but the more cylinders the more friction. if you drop a high comp v8 like this down a gear and drop the clutch is easy to lock a wheel.

Bathurst on Sunday - awesome.

v8sc have auto shift cut on the gear stick, so as you pull a gear it cuts the ign. for a poofteenth of a second to allow the shift thru, without lifting.. neat eh :) a lot of them used to just pull a gear as it hit the rev limiter too

How is he upshifting without putting the clutch in? Its not SMG so he must blip the throttle and slam it in gear. I used to do that on my bike when dragging

yeh it is in the v8sc at least.. often shifting on the rev limiter (7500) and in recent years they have devised a shift rpm-cut attached to the gear stick.. hence, hold foot flat, grab stick and shift.. theyve gone to sequential shifters now, but the same system is still in use for the shift-cut

is it normal for racr car driver to clutch shift without releasing the gas?

Listen to the engine scream..bloody hell they work hard

me three

Wow thats cool! I race Toyota Starlet GT. Small time race haha. Speed never exceed 200km/hr on track. But I do practice alot of double clutching and heel/toe. Tried left foot braking on my friend's R35 and almost crashed it hehe.

Well i;m not really a hobby race....more serious about it...i race formula cars and endurance stock cars in the JK-Tyre National Racing Championship (India)....i have tested F-BMW asia cars...but luck driving...no sponsors...just like many drivers around the world... :(...so wat do u race...?

Wow what do u race? I am a hobby racer myself I dun compete in any major race. I get ur point though. Or rather we both has got a point here.

no...the puropse to heal to is to avoid engine breaking...u are right when u said u have to match revs but that is done because if the rpm drops too low the engine compression will lock the rear wheels...and since all the weight is on the fronts whilst breaking the real will lock and spin when u leave the clutch...if the blip is done right the revs are high enough to avoid locking. so it is not just done to match the revs...but infact to avoid the rear end locking up...i race cars myself btw.

Oh by the way I did say "the following LOWER gear" in my 1st post. =D

Yeah absolutely understand. Other than braking heel/toe incorporates down shift and not upshift as u mentioned. U blip the throttle to rev match the next lower gear but as soon as ur heel leave the throttle the RPM goes straight down and defeats the purpose of heel/toe. Refer to 0.12-0.16.

Racing cars is my dream

Sometimes I wonder is there a point in heel toe since the purpose was to rev match the following lower gear. However in most race cars flywheel are lightened and as soon as your heel leaves the throttle the rev goes right back down even before you release the brake pedal. And example is on 0.12 - 0.16.

FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Yeah, in 2003, Murph put the car into 1st gear instead of 3rd.

Murph blips the gas pedal when downshifting, also at 1:04, Murray Walker!

Greg Murphy doesn't use the clutch on upshifts or downshifts.

as much as i am a ford fan, I have the up most respect for skaify
