lived in Melbourne for two years and was at this race. Walking distance from Port Melbourne, used to drive my kids to school on these roads until they closed for the race. Noise of the V10 was epic.
@psaile93 marc gene, the guy who tested for williams, and also raced for them 3 times when ralf schumacher was injured, and also was a test driver for ferrari for 5 or 6 season. and he won the le mans 24 hours in 2009 :)
@geargei80 yes, infact they did 2 rounds the day before, and the bmw road car won one of the races, then the v8 supercar won one. they usually try to make these events so they finish as close as possible at the finish line. apparently there was a final race the next day, but i didnt get to see that one.
You don't gain most time through speed, it's acceleration and corner speed. Most F1 cars only get up to ~215-220mph or so on the fastest tracks with least downforce with ~800bhp (currently)..
BMW 318i is only getting 165kph? That's only 100mph... I have a Chevy Silverado and my truck can go faster than that! Maybe I should take a lap or two around this Aussie GP track

3 liter v10. Freaking nuts.
the final straight makes you realize just how fast F1 cars are- look how fast it accelerates past both cars!
boy, F1's are badass
Those old V10's were the fucking BUSINESS!!!

I used to love watching Larry drive. I reckon he's every bit as good if not better than Brock was.

yeah, marc is actually a rather good driver, he's no alonso or hamilton, but he definitely doesn't suck.
I'm pretty sure that there was a great timing preparation before the action!

Gene scored 6th in minardi in nurburring 1996. God job.
It's not meant to show BMW road cars as being slow, it's meant to show what a "average, but not slow" road car is like compared to F1.
u got speakers?
It's a matter of how much power you have to get out of the corners and how fast you can handle them. This isn't drag racing terratory.
13:00 race START.
Thanks for sharing!!
holy cow. f1 makes the bmw looks likes its at walking pace
why didnt they use the 330i? or m3
Recording looks like 80s lol
I was there!
this video has no audio!!!!! why????????????
🤣 your headphones dead
Your silverado would turn end over end if you got it up to 100 miles an hour on that track. There's not much straightaway to go flat out.
That is a Williams F1 car with a BMW engine. BMW didn't have their own team until 2006.
Damn ! I own one of these BMW 318i E46 .... :-(
8:33 .. is that Robin Williams?! I think it is
its a standing start plus gene wont be on it.
The cheapest winner of Le Mans 24h maybe
Schumacher and Button too busy
I got a little bimmer like that XD
Love it!
Race @ 7:24
the supercar didn't get that much of an advantage over the F1.. usually they give them more
NICE
Wouldn't work since the track has corners and you have an american car.
Bring back the old v6 turbos :(
this video is from the V10 era :/
This is v10
Shouldve used an M3 though, that is much faster/
A sedan version of the Mustang? HUH?
nice!
