    It's called the Lap of the Gods because he was over 1s faster than the second placed car. Murph's lap record has since been beaten a couple of times, but this lap, because of his total domination of the other drivers, will always be my Lap of the Gods.

    Murph was one of the best V8 supercar drivers there was. He left nothing on the track. He was the first of our NZ brethren to lead to the likes of Scot Mclaughlin and Shane Van Gisbergen you will know from Indy Car and Nascar performances. Murph was a big inspiration to these guys in a Nationalist sense. We as Aussies will claim them because they are our bro's across the ditch but they are NZ icons.

    The 1979 Hardie-Ferodo 1000 at Bathurst is legendary in the Australian racing community. Peter Brock raced his Holden Torana LX A9X hatchback, with Jim Richards as co-driver. They led the race from start to finish, won the race by six laps in front and on the final lap, Brocky set a new lap record for the race. I highly recommend checking it out, as it's absolutely legendary, and helps show the Bathurst race in its glory when they were still racing cars straight off the show room floor.

    • @m0t1veOT

      um the LX A9X weren't straight of the show room floor.
      They were modified at the orginal HDT building on Queens Avenue, Hawthorn Melbourne VIC 3122 . The HDT team would get bare car shell's straight from Holden. And heavily modify the car shell at the HDT building.
      They were not even close to "Off the show room floor".

    This was part of the Top 10 Shootout, which gives the top 10 qualifiers a single lap to improve on their time and sets the grid for the race the following day.

    @zacan-rj3mc 5 месяцев назад +1

    Kiwis had success at Bathurst before Murph came on the scene and of those preceding him one of particular note was Jim Richards who won Bathurst seven times. Kiwis have seen success in world motorsport going way back including drivers like Bruce McLaren, Denny Hulme (1967 F1 champion), Chris Amon and so on, all of whom have inspired later generations just as Murph inspired SVG and Scott McLaughlin who after acheiving great success in Supercars have gone on to Nascar and Indycar respectively. There is also currently a very good prospect for F1 in Liam Lawson. Kiwis are in Formula E and many other forms of motorsport and not to forget Scott Dixon who has six Indycar Championships to his name. Dixon is one of many Kiwis who were assisted by Colin Giltrap a prominent Kiwi motor vehicle dealer and philanthropist who sadly passed away this week. I am sure I have missed many great names of Kiwi motorsport but as a proud Kiwi it is nice to see Murphs skill being discussed on your forum.

      They are running a rich fuel mixture which provides a cooling effect.
      Diesel being less flammable just comes out as thick black smoke instead of as flames.

      The big boxes with a water tank, a loose weave cloth that wicks the water up and a fan that blows air through the water soaked cloth.
      As water evaporates, it consumes energy which reduces the temperature (that's why we sweat in the heat, so the sweat can be evaporated for its cooling effect).

    no mate, it's nothing like nascar, there is no one in his ear telling him to do anything around that track, it is ALL him, he knows that track better than anyone in his pits, he is in full control and his team actually trusts him to bring the car back to the garage in one piece. The last thing he needs is someone in his ear distracting him while he is driving at eleven tenths.
    And yes, those flames are unburnt fuel escaping out the exhaust pipe when he lifts off the throttle, pretty spectacular at the end of the day when it is getting darker near the end of the race :-)

    Even more astounding - these cars were limited to 7500 rpm, BUT - in the Dipper, Murphy grabbed first gear instead of third, and over-revved to 9200rpm ! He clarified this on a radio chat-show a few weeks later.

Brock was running in a Holden Commodore VN with a 600bhp 5.0 Holden V8. You guys have to have a reaction video on this lap of Brock at Bathurst. Will not disappoint. Make it happen.

    Ahh the days when the V8 Supercar spat flames, before environmental concerns. Fun Fact, the V8 Supercar series came about because Bathurst used to be open class, the original Mini won in 1966, but all that changed come the 89 and 90 seasons, the Nissan Skyline R32 "Godzilla" - the 2.6 Litre V6 Monster from Japan absolutely owned the big lazy 5+ Litre V8s being put out by Ford and Holden ( GM's Aussie arm ) at the time, so then it became about the V8 Supercars as far as coverage and money and everyone else still raced in an open series anyway.

    This lap was driven precision perfect to get pole position. Technology from 2003. I was there and never seen anything like it since. The track record was broken several times over that weekend

    You want to react to Bathurst, look at everything you can find about 1992. An absolute emotional rollercoaster with the demise of Denny Hulme and Jim Richards calling the crowd atseholes plus alot of rain

    Yeah so Murph was my childhood hero and he had nothing to prove, he was already one of the stars of the category and just an insanely skilled operator around Mount Panorama. The guy was an absolute class driver who always find a way through and usually without pinning anyone (well, unless the other guy was Russell Ingall).
    On the zoom in to his wheel as he is climbing the mountain around 3:52, you can see his reference time. That is a 'theoretical' lap time the team would have programmed in to tell him if he is up or down, that time is usually sort of the best guess on how fast the fastest bloke on the track could go with some addition/subtraction based on the performance expectations of his car. The cars do bottom out alot but the flames are the exhaust. V8 supercars run super rich and at the time used super high octane fuels.

    I have driven around this track….. it’s public road most of the year …… you don’t realise just how good these drivers are until you see the corners , the climb and the decent of this track. Some sections of this road are “hairy” enough at less than half of the speed that these drivers are doing.

    I find the Americans reaction to Bathurst rather funny, let's face it, it's the greatest endurance race held over the most taxing course in the world, we as Aussies just accept it as our right to chill out with bbqs and booze over the weekend 😂🎉❤

    I know viewers cant heard it in the videos but on down shift and the car over fuels alittle and flames pop out, thats loud, like gun shot loud, now get 10-15cars in a row all doing the same thing, its like an orgasm for car fans. Ive never heard anything like it.

    Like some others have said, they don't really run spotters like they do in NASCAR, if you watch the races the pit only tends to talk to them on the easy part of the circuit. In qualifying they generally let the drivers do their jobs with no interruptions, specially at this track.. As for Murphy, even prior to this lap he was a well know driver.

    Yeah they don’t have spotters and stuff like that. They will know roughly what they’re doing at the end of the lab but going through the lap yeah no. However, they will know it’s a quick lap.

  • @warbringer11128
    @warbringer11128 Год назад

    ok so with the v8 supercars qualifying has 2 stages l. theres the 3 qualifying laps that everyone completes for general positioning for race day and then we have the top 10 shoot out which is where murphy set his lap of the gods which is where the top 10 qualifiers do a single lap top gun for pole position

    The fire is out of the exhaust. His crew don’t talk to him on the lap, so they can concentrate on. If you get to Australia, go to Bathurst and drive around the track. It’s a regular road most of the year. It very steep.

    They don't have spotters in supercars like they do in nascar. And the sparks/flames are definitely from unburnt fuel.

  • @justinbalks1789
    @justinbalks1789 11 месяцев назад

    The exhaust is just behind the front wheels, so you are seeing flames from the excess fuel being burnt off when it downshifts.
    It frames out because the exhaust is running at extreme temperatures.

    I realize this is an old video, but I think you will get a better understanding of Bathurst when you watch one of your former Nascar Champions take a ride around Bathurst in a V8 Supercar. I think Darrell Watrip expressions and reactions said it all. Maybe you could do a video on this. Here is the link, Darrell Watrip Bathurst V8 Supercar ( ruclips.net/video/dklKiwz945A/видео.html )

    @tugdumbly1927 3 месяца назад

    We do things differently down under. It’s not nascar where you drive in an oval. Originally Bathurst was a stock standard car race to show the public what each brand could do and the track was meant to represent each type of road types you’d expect. Like steep descents/climbs, hard corners, numerous curves/switchbacks, off camber corners, occasional kangaroos jumping on track whilst racing. Now it’s been turned into a formal racing event. Unfortunately the Oz car industry has closed down so now we race US/European cars. It’s not the same.

    • @RealFansSports
      @RealFansSports  3 месяца назад

      Yeah everybody told us when we went live during the race last year that they didn’t like the change of brands
