- This is my home video of the Holden proving grounds at Lang Lang Victoria March 2024. We we lucky enough to be able to drive on the original Holden test track for all Holdens from 1955 to 2017 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the L34 Torana.
We tried out in our Torana's on the skid pan, the chicane and the
4 klm long banked high speed track also the endurance roads.

How awesome being able to get access on the track. My uncle used to work for Holden at the proving grounds back in the day. As a local I really hope this place gets turned into a Motorsport facility for the people since it’s for sale again
It’s hard to believe its been 50 years since they came out !
The Torana still looks and sounds fabulous, you were so lucky to get a blat around Lang Lang
Old school says dinky dyes Holden ❤
Wow 2017. Where the hell did the last 6 years go.
Thanks for another great video Ken
Was Steve sitting in the passenger seat?
yep Steve was with me and he had a drive doing the chicane run
Was this a car club event Ken?
It was organised through the L34 club for their 50th anniversary.
@@kenscorer667 thanks, that’s not the Victorian Torana Club?
@@jonevans790 No a guy from W.A organised the event
@@kenscorer667 yeah ok thanks
" it's a l 34 man!" ( know what i mean ) 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 the end
Sorry but you are wrong in saying that Lang Lang is the only proving ground in the southern hemisphere. Ford has a proving ground at You Yang and Lindsay Fox owns one which is used by Toyota.

It’s pathetic that GMH doesn’t exist any longer.
I don’t care that it was uneconomical to maintain. They should have found a way to keep Holden going in some capacity because it part of the Australian psyche, culture DNA.
Australia needs manufacturing badly.
Australia does have a manufacturing industry. Four from different brands are being converted from left hand drive on top of that Mack, Kenworth and Volvo all build trucks here. We make farm implements that are being exported to the USA and cochlear ear implants. We manufacture ships in WA and will soon manufacture submarines again.
In regards to Holden, why should it have stayed. If the public bought enough of the Holden product, then Holden may still exist. Clearly most people don't hold the same view as you and I'm sure they definitely don't want their tax payer money being wasted propping up a business that sells cars that nobody wants.

Well let’s agree to disagree on why Holden should have been retained.
When it comes to manufacturing in Australia. Ok that’s great they are doing those trucks as you have pointed out.
However that is minuscule to what used to be made in Australia.
Eg;
•GMH, had 3 plants
•Ford
•Chrysler
•Mitsubishi
•Toyota
•Additionally we built power station (ICAL) Babcock and will cock.
•Complete truck manufacturing, not just conversions.
•diesel and electric locomotives at the Clyde Engineering Co, Comeng
•heavy Mining equipment.
• one of the current real manufacturing companies still existing is Weir Minerals at Artarmon firmly known as Warman International
They have a. Foundry, moulds, tooling and machinery and sone engineering, however being diluted.
All the above included design , R&D and engineering
I could go on, however you get the picture.
I could go on
@@tomnewham1269The unions and the labor govt destroyed Australia’s car manufacturing industry. Excessive wage & condition demands, along with poor management by Holden & Ford played a big part in their parent companies pulling the pin. The AWU wouldn’t even allow Toyota to speak to their own employees, thank Bill Shorten for that.
What skid pan. I didnt see any skidding. nambie pambie la la's
They're driving 50 yr old classics not testing prototypes you 2 headed mong
