Dude .check out Peter Brock 9 times Bathurst winner driving the arse of his Holden torrana with drum brakes back in the very Early 80$....that's why they call him Peter perfect and named a bit of the track and trophy after him.. nobody beat him wet or dry he even pushed his car over the line once ..man was the dude...
Anything you can find mentioned in this video, pre 2000 was real cars versus metal frames with plastic and metal parts attached to standard rigid frame bodies underneath. This is 2003, don't bother watching any more recent Bathurst 1000 races after this vid. Just saying..
Those race cars used a dog-shifting H-pattern 6 speed Holinger H6S gearbox which is an Australian engineered and manufactured racing gearbox. Since 2008 they use a dog-shifting sequential 6 speed Holinger RD6. He is definitely driving a H-pattern manual, but it is not like the one you would find in a road car… I don’t think you would appreciate the gear whine on the freeway…😂
@@siryogiwandog shifting gearboxes have gear sets that are in constant mesh, or always meshed with their partner gear, dog clutches are used to engage and disengage the gears. The simplest definition of a dog clutch is a series of equally spaced blocks sticking out of a sliding disc that fit into block-shaped holes in the sides of the gears. The discs are fitted to a spline on the shaft and can slide towards and away from the gears. The gears with dog clutches have no splines and if the dog-clutch is disengaged they can spin freely on the shaft. Sychromesh gearboxes on road cars work in a similar manner but use synchro discs between the dogs and slots in order to allow them to engage smoothly when the dogs and slots are misaligned. Aside from being a weaker component, synchros impart significant delay to engagement as well and since smooth shifts are not a requirement of race cars they are not needed. I don’t know why the engagement blocks are called “dogs” but it definitely has nothing to do with how they look.
The thing to remember about Bathurst is that it's a production car race. The origins of this race were based on the adage "Win On Sunday, Buy On Monday"... The cars had to be based on what was available on the showroom floor, with a few slight modifications for safety. These days, by comparison, everything is worked off it's tits... the mods are no where near street legal...😏 🙃🐨🇦🇺
you can drive them on the streets, as long as all lights are working, but damn that drive would be expensive, can't imagine the fuel they use would be cheap lol
Never mind; you’ll soon find another Australian -= whoops, sorry, New Zealander (KIWI) international driver in Liam Lawson taking podiums in international motorsport.😂😂😂
Some of the new cars are running paddle and sequential gears but a lot still use H pattern 6 speed gearboxes. A great one to watch is Peter Brock (king of the mountain)being interviewed whilst racing Bathurst. Hey is just so casually talking while reaching speeds of 300km. Peter Brock was and will forever known as the King of the mountain and the trophy is now named after him. RIP Peter Brock 05.
I was on the top of the mountain that day at Reid park, which is the section of the track. immediately before skyline! Even just watching Greg Murphy was visibly faster than other cars! It was cool to witness and took years to fall! 😅
Well done mate, great reaction. Dig through any Adelaide 500 Supercars footage you can find. There is some spectacular racing and final laps at that track you will definitely enjoy sharing. Merry Christmas to you and yours closest.
Mini Cooper S models were the main small cars racing. The Cooper S was much more expensive and faster than the Morris Mini Minor. The Cooper S was fast enough to take out outright positions 1 to 9 in the 1966 race. Beat all the V8s and six cylinder cars that year
On race day half the men in Australia set themselves up in front of the TV with a 6 pack or 4 of beer. It’s an all day event. Australia was the first to put TV cameras in race cars. Drivers can be and do get interviewed while they are racing.
This is a public road I have driven on. Coming down the mountain is tight. It is amazing that these cars get through there so fast. You have to have driver control of the gear shifts. If the shift happened at the wrong moment, the car would be straight into the fence.
This was sort of before the 'flappy paddle' gearbox became a widespread thing ay, drivers hated it back then since they had the muscle memory for stick driving (It was even considered controversial moving to sequential stick from the old H shape in 2008). To this day V8 Supercars use sequential gearboxes.
Incase you didn't notice, Greg Murphey was the guy doing the epic "mount Panarama" video you watched earlier. Now you know why he knows the track inside out. Also, this record was broken, you should check it out for sure! Great reaction Brother.
You need to watch Bathurst in the late 70s early 80s before they made the track safer. Peter Brock is the driver to watch even though he was a Holden driver, he was truly the king of the mountain.
yeah back when it was multi-classed race and literally no safety walls etc, was insane, I miss seeing a mini come down that mountain, was so sketchy to see, making it more exciting to me, I pretty much stopped watching it in 90s, but I'm not really a car guy, I just love seeing the carnage and mad driving skills at speed lol
That’s was just a time qualifier for pole position. The actual race among all the cars together side by side at 150+ mph. Now that’s where a thrill can be found only happens in the battle on the mountain.
The track record has since been beaten but to me this car and how it performed is a bit of a unicorn impressive at that time the race itself goes for 6.0 plus hours never boring, you could have an accident with still a possibility of getting back out on track depending on damage and still win the race this is an iconic track in Australian Motorsport everyone wants to win this one in their career. if you liked this you should check out the Isle of Man TT thats a motorbike race the most dangerous motorbike race in the world!!
This is why guys like Shane Van Gisbergen and before him Marcus Ambrose do so well in Nascar street races. They are so used to the door to door, bumper to bumper, wall scraping, kerb bouncing motorsport that is V8 Supercars. For them it becomes just another day at the office whereas Nascar drivers have to learn how to turn right. 😛😀
This was epic! 21 years ago now though, but definitely not sequential. #51 (Holden) had 6 speed manual trans. This one’s 02/03 I believe, got a ‘07 R8 6 speed manual myself 4 years later. Her name was Quicksilver and I fkn loved her 😂 the hubby drove sometimes but he had a Ninja and Quicksilver was my full time ride. Leather seats, 6speed manual and a gunmetal metallic paint was the only reason I downsized to a Mazda 3 a few years back, she was needing a bit of work and it was costing a bomb plus we separated so the vehicles all got sold to split fairly 😢 Still miss her tho but I strangely haven’t been clocked for speeding since then…. 😂
To clarify: the R8 was 12/13 years old, had been through a few gearbox and mechanical issues while under warranty and needed a new clutch and shocks when we split, I couldn’t justify spending the cash on her while I was raising my kids and animals on a single income. The BBGun - my Mazda- has the 6 speed manual, leather seats and a darker metallic grey as a nod to my previous love Quicksilver… but he’s also a lot less expensive and has asked nothing of me besides a water pump and the normal tyres/brake pads/windscreen etc of a regular car either. He’s treated me better than the ex bastard for almost a decade now too and I got him second hand for a steal with a ‘fully sick bass’ already in him 😂
Don't be sorry man... Love your vids.. just for context John Bow who went out before him broke a long standing record then Murph came and smashed it again..
I miss the good days falcon and commo reigning and instilling a love of our local street machines. Nothing lasts forever. mark larkham this is bathurst. check that out bro.
@@giobozzreacts VY commodore was produced 02-04. I own the 04 Holden VY commodore hsv clubsport. Which is a up model of the SS. 6Sd manual T56, 5.7Ltr LS1, modified LS6 intake, factory extractors, bigger brakes, and 3.7 ratio LSD. 287Kw factory, face lift with the VZ model head and tail lights, and different body kit. I've had mine 12 years now, 240, OOOKms, and it still has great compression. Pulls hard, and very economical at highway speeds. Absolutely love it
You need to take a look at 2024 year on the corner up the hill. The sign on the fence is straight up and down will give you a great look at how steep the road is.
@giobozzreacts STOP. Greg Murphy is from New Zealand mate. I'm Australian and I hope you adjust this. I believe 'New Zealand motorsport legend' is a much more fitting title.
My old man would put on the James Hardy 1000 when I was a kid.... Peter brock.dick Johnson . Larry Perkins..just awesome...now I sit and play the play station and try too set up the same conditions but usually end up too drunk😊
Gotta love Bathurst. Pronounced Bath-hirst. The country stops for this one. Peter Brock in the Holden's were legends. This is meaner than Daytona. This is the style in which I drive to black Friday sales, lol. Regards from Perth, Western Australia 🇦🇺
Check out 2002 Bathurst Greg Murphy was running 2nd at the time and the stewards sent him to the toilet for a five minute penalty (yep I did say 5 minutes) it was and only time in Australian racing history for anyone to receive such a harsh penalty ….. So for him to come out in 2003 Lap of the Gods and winning the race….. then winning again in 2004 was to prove a point 😂😂😂😂
Yes the older cars (kmart car) is Manual! Amazing but yes it's true......... The newer versions are sequential shift. & it's 310kmphr at the end of the straight
They very rarely breach the 300koh mark even in qualifying conditions as the gear ratio typically doesn’t allow for it given the 7500rpm limit (in place because of noise and for parity)
Normally the road is for public and the speed is 60k. The police get there occasionally to check the people don't speed. There are actually homes on the road.
The race goes for 6 hours with 2 drivers great race there’s one with a Nass car drive he freaked out going as a passenger in one he did think that cars could go around a track that fast I know his first name was Darrel willcoxs not sure about his name there’s also one called this is Bathurst it show how dangerous the track is
@@datwistyman it was awhile o go I watched it I remembered his first name I new it started with a w but I think auto correct I don’t remember typing that last name in but I didn’t have it right thank for mate have a great Christmas and a safe new year
..and Volvo raced in the series for a brief time after this. Epic seeing them go up against the Mustangs and Camaros. You got decades of races online, get in there mate. Edit: lol this is normal for us old bastards. Probably until around the mid-to-late 90s, the sequential 'box would likely have cost about the same as the road-going, consumer version of the car. A Quaife 'box/diff. setup even for "weekend racers" is probably gonna be 5-10k (USD) for a Honda Civic, even today. These guys would have learnt with and always driven regular H-pattern gearboxes - this was basically the era where it became cheap enough for manufacturers to mass produce them - allowing for the next generation of drivers to have PS2 gearchanges. Until then it was a dark and mysterious art, making a racing 'box but once Ford and VW, Audi and Honda are all making tens of thousands of them per month - the tech suddenly moves on rather rapidly.
If you think this is crazy, they used to race motorcycles and sidecars at The Mountain, and the fans were even more nuts than you could imagine, one year they laid siege to the police station on top of The Mountain. You can find both the racing and the fans on youtube. I miss those days, about the only thing I get gooey about, it was fanfuckingtastic. Great reaction mate, keep it going.
Great lap from Greg but much faster nowadays. 161 laps 6 hrs of pure concentration. This lap is reproduced for all 161 laps so buckle up for the worlds greatest race. This is how it’s done in Oz!
This Bathurst Racing is Actually Pretty Cool

Great example of the gearbox whine, multi plate clutch rattle etc is to look at part 1 of Murph being reunited with 51 at Brands Hatch.
Gregory David Murphy[1] (born 23 August 1972) is a New Zealand professional racing driver
Love your vids dude. SO enthusiatstic and great lap to watch too
The thing to remember about Bathurst is that it's a production car race. The origins of this race were based on the adage "Win On Sunday, Buy On Monday"...

🙃🐨🇦🇺

Win on Sunday, sell on Monday! Think about it as a manufacturer 😊
I love watching the races from the 60s and 70s watching family sedans with a 3 on the tree with bench seat go flat out is exciting.
Greg Murphy - another great Kiwi driver !!! 🙂
No matter how you try to escape it New Zealand will always be Australia’s most offshore state.
Never mind; you’ll soon find another Australian -= whoops, sorry, New Zealander (KIWI) international driver in Liam Lawson taking podiums in international motorsport.😂😂😂
Some of the new cars are running paddle and sequential gears but a lot still use H pattern 6 speed gearboxes.
A great one to watch is Peter Brock (king of the mountain)being interviewed whilst racing Bathurst.
Hey is just so casually talking while reaching speeds of 300km. Peter Brock was and will forever known as the King of the mountain and the trophy is now named after him.
RIP Peter Brock 05.
Imagine going 300kph and all of a sudden the road drops out of view and thats what u call a skyline
300kph at skyline, not even in gran turismo
@@anthony-po4ho lol
Skyline peaks at about 220-225kph, which is still nuts when you can't see the road 😂
The car is a 6 speed manual not sequential they went to a sequential gearbox when they transitioned to the next generation car.
I was on the top of the mountain that day at Reid park, which is the section of the track. immediately before skyline! Even just watching Greg Murphy was visibly faster than other cars! It was cool to witness and took years to fall! 😅
Check out Peter Brock at Bathurst when he set the fastest lap on the last lap. 1979. That's driving.
hopefully you watched it again without stopping it to get a real appreciation of the speed and proximity to the walls, he was flying
You need to go drive this track to understand how tight and steep it really is and then imagine doing the speeds these guys do
Mount Panorama is an absolute roller coaster of a track, it's like a rally stage as a circuit. It's a blast watch any racing through it
Well done mate, great reaction. Dig through any Adelaide 500 Supercars footage you can find. There is some spectacular racing and final laps at that track you will definitely enjoy sharing. Merry Christmas to you and yours closest.
Long ago, one of my Uni lecturers took a minibus full of drunken actors around the mountain at 2am, way too fast one morning.
Peter Brock was a mate of my Dad and he taught me how to double declutch. Go Holden!
You should look at the race in the seventies and early eighties when mini minors were racing alongside v8s
that crash on the mountain where mini took out the people, will always stick in my mind when bathurst is mentioned
Mini Cooper S models were the main small cars racing.
The Cooper S was much more expensive and faster than the Morris Mini Minor.
The Cooper S was fast enough to take out outright positions 1 to 9 in the 1966 race. Beat all the V8s and six cylinder cars that year

That time has since been regularly beaten (as the cars get faster).
But for him to beat his peers by 1.1 seconds was phenomenal.
One of my all time favourite drivers. Murph!!!

Murph is a New Zealander, not an Ozzy.
It was the first time anyone had gone around the track in under 2:07 - a new record at the time.
When your fiercest rivals give you a standing ovation…
Greg Murphy is such a Legendary racer, and he is from New Zealand the same place I am from
Thanks matey. I'm 60. Been watching Bathurst on TV since I can remember. Great day for motor racing fans, great day for the Breweries. 🍻🇦🇺😀👍
You really ought to go back and watch this straight through without pausing to truly appreciate what an incredible lap that was

We drive stick shifts here in OZ, there is a lot of weight rules, petrol, Tyers, but as far as Mountain Paramara goes it’s survival of the fittest
It was the fastest time at Bathurst until 2010 and it's been broken several times since then
Good video my friend.Have to say that car is a full manual(H pattern). Current cars are sequential gearbox.
