The old Zilla vs Thrilla days of the DJR Sierra's and Gibbo GTRs, god I miss Group A. Poetry to watch JB, thanks for sharing this wonderful bit of 90's engineering the Aussies did so well.... 🙂
how good is JB behind the wheel racing, never looks rushed even when the peanut slab/ GTR beast's were up along side. all smooth calculated car control.
Camera is a gopro hero 7..on a standard gopro motorsport mount for a roll cage...the Camera has different settings...think its call hyperveiw?...came out good
I may be old school!!, But that was way more satisfying to watch,than current day V8 supercar rubbish!!!. With their characterless gear shifts and over infused crap !, simple Go fast cars that are still just as capable .ye ha 💪💪💪
@@neozone_hyrax.raw. I did and it was mad. There’s still a good race here and there but nothing like the old days. They used to just run each other off the track. The biggest issue I have is there is no continuity or relevance to the cars we can buy now. Imagine seeing a race now with real Mustang’s, Camaro’s, Golf R’s, GR Yaris’ plus Audi’s and Beemers. It would be EPIC and apart from tuning, suspension and roll cages, they are cars that we can go and buy. That’s what we lost with Supercars. In my opinion, the most boring racing on the planet today.

Thank you Mr John Bowe
Fantastic to be in the car with JB , Thanks for the video ,
Best sounding 4cylinder turbo ever! Love that sound!👌🏻👌🏻
If I had all the money in the world and could buy any car I wanted, it would be DJR6. An absolute beast. God I love this car
Poetry in motion, easy to see why JB is so successful
Nice jump at the start there JB. Cheers for the footage, was most entertaining.

John Bowe is class act….people forget how long he’s been behind the wheel
Hes in his 70s now i think..still looks 50 lol
I had the privilege of getting a hot lap with him at the wheel of an FG GT.
Awesome bloke to meet in real life.

Bit like Jim Richards, just loves driving fast no matter his age.
Nice little cameo by that pesky GTR 😉🤣 Great footage Paul! What is that camera mount? Love how it shifts with the inertia of the car.

It's the GoPro image stabilization working, showing down the frame response to camera movement
Magnificent
Got the Tiger by the tail in that hot seat Wow Wee
Man got skills 👍
These races are 1000 times better than "supercars"🤦♂️

yep 👍
It’s never been the same, has it. Aus racing has never been as good as pre-supercars.
@@sixdegrees6434 watch the old btcc stuff, half of the atcc & early supercars drivers came from there

Has the steering column been converted to electrically assisted power steer ?
Not sure..possibly
1990 spec gtr ❤
Yer beautiful car..real credit to stu rodgers .. check this fbook page.. RRT Rodgers Race Team..
Cripes JB Ibet you wished you started R O F
Would have been good to know from the beginning what car and what track.
Noted..thank you👌
You can skip to 6:16. Otherwise great vid.
Yes full race..including warm up
Other video was shortened.. .though it would be good 2 see the complete warm up process in these old turbo cars..👌
He needed some of that special fuel
It runs on 102 ELF race fuel... $10 a litres😪
@@classicgaragenewzealand2380 lol 100bks a lap?
@@iidentifyasvaccinated8877 not sure..i know its $10 per litre
I know what you are talking about, the special shell fuel from 1988 and 1989.
@@marcpaola1371 yep
Cut from the same cloth as the late great Gerry Marshall.
That man could drive a car on the limit 👌

What track?
Ruapuna park ..Christchurch New Zealand
@@classicgaragenewzealand2380 Thanks.
Shame the Sierra doesn't have period correct steering wheel and race seat . Horrible
Wouldn't be up to spec....seats ,seat belts fire suppression systems etc have a shelf life... and must be of modern safety specifications
Still a bloody terrible car. I was wondering when the Nissan Patrol was going to catch you.
