Massive respect to Jack Perkins for all the work done to restore the Castrol 11 Holden. 5.0L V8. Not just the spanner work but sourcing the original parts, the hours on the phone & online. A true labour of love.
I am so glad I was around to watch these cars race. So many great memories of what I consider, real, true Aussie racing. Not the imported nascar clone we now have. Relatable, soul, exciting is what racing should be. God I miss those days..
its relatable if you drive one of those 2 door ball bags that is Supercars today, but yeah I agree with you. As a kid the whole family drove to Bathurst in a car that was on track and then drove home.
I don't follow Australian touring cars anymore. It's American touring cars in Australia now. Bathurst died when America took over. Long live Holden. I still have a licensed VL Commodore.
I just don’t understand. Yeah I know SAftEy but everyone misses the days where the cars where relatable and the racing was actually *racing* not just follow the leader. Current Supercars have absolutely zero soul. And they wonder why no one watches anymore
Ahhh, the classics! When the great race really was "THE GREAT RACE"! Mustangs and Camaro's make it look like NASCAR.... can't watch it. Give me Aussie made muscle please!👍🏽
Wish the loudmouth yobbs in the background would just shut up and let us listen. Such a blast from the past. Skaifey just so full of himself you wanna knock him in the face by accident, Lowndes, so humble down to earth and a total killer on the track, If stuff didnt break, hed be unbeatable in every race. WAs great to see him smashing it back in the falcon.
In the day simply the best years at the mountain ,now too many rules all run the same transmissions brakes etc all carbon fibre panels except the roof. Some guy in the pits on a computer controlling tactics, forced tyre and brake change too much regulation.

Larry Perkins built the most reliable race motors at Bathurst,
Ian Tate and Neil Burns also
Great memories of a far better time with far more interesting drivers.
This was when it was a relatable race which is very different from what is presented now.

was only relatable til 1993. After that it just lost its magic. There was something special about 100% holden and ford.
If you grew up watching this and the title didn’t make you click on it then that’s un Australian, Absolute legends of the sport, RIP Brocky
Missed a trick not having Murph drive his Kmart commodore in it's 20th lap of the Gods anniversary.😢
Not wrong. I wonder where that car is these days.
@@MitchZero9I think a collector has it
Was there for it. So happy to see the cars again that I once watched live. Awesome
Would have loved to seen Godzilla there.
Wish Skaife got out there too and drove one of his 01 or 02 Holdens with boys.
Thanks for posting, Blimin nostalgic to see these gems on the mount again, Aint watched the v8s in years, simplier times
The old B series absolutely reeling that VE in 😂
Sounded the business screaming it’s tits off !!
i was there at bathurst watching these cars flying around t6/t7 it was insane
That mid to late 2000’s era was my favourite of the v8 supercar category ❤
This is honestly so cool to watch
Thanks for posting this. I missed it today.
Oh look! its a bunch of real Australian tin top racers. . . . . Maybe this demo is to show the newer fans of the sport what they look like. . .
Thanks for posting, this is brilliant!!
Now its just camaros and mustangs nascar
Wait, what??! So the #10 VL commodore that Brockie won his 9th Bathurst in 1987 was actually this VK rebuilt to look like a VL ??? I never knew that
That's was in front of my eyes that day. Moffart wall wrong ways i have photo 💯
Gotta say as a kiwi I laughed when Jim Richards said that, watching live, naughty kiwi
Brockie always slid the car. Rest his soul. Why he is the king of the mountain. If he was here right now, he will show you
I don't follow Australian touring cars anymore. It's American touring cars in Australia now. Bathurst died when America took over. Long live Holden. I still have a licensed VL Commodore.
Thank you, really well done 👍🏾
Shame Marty Miller didn't have the ex Jason Richard's Dodo Commodore up there.
miss that dude....gone way too soon...
Holden Ford Bathurst it was my religion touring cars today just not interested, these cars are pure poetry.

Ahhh, the classics!
When the great race really was "THE GREAT RACE"!
Mustangs and Camaro's make it look like NASCAR.... can't watch it.

Car racing from the passed

Fk Skaife loves the sound of his own voice
Whatever
Jealous
he really does...
only the most dopey of dudes can hear a guy as accomplished as Mark regale some stories during a sunday cruise and get mad about it.
YEAH A WHAT A DRIP HE IS
Would be good to see Skaife in the golden child VX and Murphy in the 03 Kmart VY. Next year hopefully.
That Vk sounds mad
In the day simply the best years at the mountain ,now too many rules all run the same transmissions brakes etc all carbon fibre panels except the roof. Some guy in the pits on a computer controlling tactics, forced tyre and brake change too much regulation.
When Brock stopped having the best car he was average, rip .
Ah memories
Where's Godzilla king of the mountain?
Cloud Rabbit 4:58
Who was driving the VK?
James Brock
Ye ol’ dunny doors 😎
richo and skaife got lucky given the car ended up crashed coming out of forest elbow...
Those cars from the early 2000's were a real drivers car. Not like today
bro what is this volume 😂☠
i know.. too late once it was recorded.. i mention it in the description... ..and.. shit happens!
Where's the Nissan gtr, probably penalised it with starting from Sydney.
Brock must be in the ghost car
More of a holden display than anything
aww no r32 gtr or VL? gheeeeeey
theres a reason why only these cars were picked... 10, 20, 30, and 40th Anniversary..the only odd one out was CL in the 2006 falcon..
nissan skyline is the best looking
Typical skaife didn't say a word about the ford or mustang
I hate motorsport camera work
They need to hire the NBA camera crew fr
