      Ironically, that's the first race that introduced me to supercars, I watched it Live from the beginning in 2014 on Brazil 🇧🇷 it was so rare the Supercars came on TV, but when it did came was very and far between but always watched, unfortunately I was never able to follow one full season of it, only few races here and there to do accessibility to the category from here.
      Still I remember the feeling I got when watched the race

    21:10 I believe this was down to the safety car periods that allow lapped cars to get their laps back (usually taking place when it's near the end of the safety car period where they let the lapped car go past the safety car and speed away before the race restarts), which is different to NASCAR where only the leading lapped car gets the lucky dog.

    This is an excellent video, and I'm glad you reacted to it. Like many, I was watching as it unravelled. However, with all the incredible detail and all of the puns, they failed to break down what actually happened on that last lap, even corner by corner. WTF??? Wincup ran out of fuel on, effectively, the third last corner. Mostert would later say he was thinking or saying, cough you bastard, and it did finally on Forest Elbow, the entry to Conrod Straight. Well at least, that's my recollection.
    Maybe it could have been an even crazier race had Wincup made it down the straight, leaving it down to The Chase and beyond.

    Back in the day, V8 Supercars was exclusively Holden Commodores and Ford Falcons, which made for pretty healthy rivalries amongst the bogan community. Some of us were so devout to the blood of the sport that we stopped watching when they introduced the euro models again…. Cough. But these names are staples. Anyone who ever enjoyed Aussie motor sport know Lowndes, Whincup, Ingall, winterbottom, but my favourite by far was Jason Bargwanna. He was an independent driver who didn’t look like he should have been on a race track under going the conditions these guys go through. He was a funny dude and almost always seemed to be able to finish in the top 10. What an absolute legend

    Kangaroos are actually annoying in Australia, if you're driving outside of the city, you have to keep an eye out for them because they will jump in front of your car.

    Twitter can't even agree that the earth is oblong shaped.
    Usually they wouldn't be able to do anything to the cars, but since it was the track that destroyed so many cars, so they let them patch them up a bit. If there wasn't so much prior carnage, and say maybe just one car destroyed, they wouldn't have let them fix the cars, but it would be unfair to take 10 cars out at the blame of the category not ensuring the track conditions were safe.
    Any mass manufacturer can join.
    And at the end of the day, Whincup last by 1 Litre or under a quart of a gallon of fuel, about the same amount that would be sitting in the swirl pot, fuel pump and fuel lines, or about the same volume of fuel that would not have been in the engineers calculations, but was in the back of Whincup's mind. You would be mad not to go for it.

Best weekend of the year. Also note, best results for a car manufacturer was in 1966 with 9 of the top ten being a Mini Cooper S. Yes, that was against V8's and 6's

      The reason for "stalling" was they were running a qualifying engine map mode. Over fueling caused the engine to flood and hydro lock the engine when it was idling in the pitstop. Hence why they thought the starter was poked. It couldn't turn over a hydro locked engine.

    Kangaroos, on the wrong jump across a road, land in your car through the windscreen. THEN the get passed off, and kick you to death. I've done towing work in country towns. BUT... WOMBATS... if run over one... they are short and built like 3 Staffies in a single unit... They will destroy sumps, gearboxes, tailshafts, exhausts, and even steering and suspension components.
    It's like running over a few bags of old cement on the road.
    AND... the Drop Bears.... lol.
    Seriously, wombats are mini tanks.

Bloody thing must have lived!

  • @alec7568
    @alec7568 4 месяца назад

    To answer your question about which manufacturers compete: it's changed a bunch over the years. Right now it's only Chevy camaros and Ford mustangs. Before that they had it opened up to a few more like his and Volvo. Arguably the most loved version was back when it was only Aussie cars, the commodore and the falcon. Before then it was called the atcc (Australian touring car championship) and was open to many manufacturers. Some of the most famous ones being ones like the early Nissan skylines, or even a Ford cosworth.

  • @carolthorson7854
    @carolthorson7854 3 месяца назад

    I loved the race when it was just Ford v Holden v8's. They were first called touring cars. There were different categories all running together so you had little minis running in the same race as a massive v8 Ford Falcon. It was fun to watch, annoying for the drivers. World Touring car rules saw bigger engines phased out and crowds were waning so they formed v8 supercars, Ford v Holden. It was a big hit. Eventually, to be more inclusive and cost effective they designed one car that all should drive and badged differently. They included other makes and that killed it for me. I don't follow anymore but I love watching the old races.

    4 key points to reply to your video
    1. Jamie Whincup is actually whingecup
    2. These where the days were we had multiple manufacturers . In todays series is know as V8 sillycars & we only have 2 manufacturers now Camaro and Mustang
    3. Race is 6 hrs long so the ones on the mountain top drinking have time to sleep it off and still being able to wake up and not miss the end of the race 😜
    And key number 4.
    Whingecup had a fan on conrod straight with a Jerry can or in American terms with gasoline waiting for him to run out of fuel the next year & it did happen again.

    Now that GM has killed off the Holden Commodore & to a lesser extent Ford Australasia ceased production of the Falcon many years ago, Last season (2023) was the beginning of the "Gen 3" V8 Supercars so It is now only 2 manufacturers in the V8 supercars season... each team generally consists of 2 cars but some have off shoot teams meaning they have more cars (and more skin in the game as they say) and a team can choose from and run either a Chevrolet Camaro or a Ford Mustang but whichever manufacturer they choose all cars in the team must be that manufacturer (meaning no running one from each camp)
    the teams are provided with the engines by Supercars management and both the Ford & Chevrolet power plants have been built and painstakingly tuned to produce the exact same horsepower and similar power curves, or so the claim from Supercars head office goes (but the Chevrolet started the season last year with a distinct power advantage) the Mustangs are running a 5.4 litre Coyote engine and the Camaros are running a 5.7 litre LT, small block based, pushrod engine that has been evolving since the 1990's............. No longer is it a race of Ford v Holden as the race has been for decades (even whilst other manufacturers dipped their toes in & out of the competition)
    At least SVG sent the Holden Commodore off in style at it's last Bathurst 1000 (and coincidentally the Supercars championship) in 2022 by winning. A very fitting goodbye for arguably the greatest 'family' sedan (or saloon depending on where you are from) with undoubtedly the best name....... the COMMODORE!!

    NO... Cars can be repaired under any circumstance unless the race director says it's an illegal modification that gives the drivers/cars an advantage.
    Red flags usually take place during a crash that blocks traffic flow.
    Even then they can repair cars.
    Not 100% but I think the only thing they can't do, is refuel the car.
    Also no, not any manufacturer. The car to be entered has to be in full sales production.
    Many manufacturers have teied in the sport, but they always dropped out.
    It was always only Holden and Ford basically.
    Now Ford and Chev.
    Also, Holden was GM.
    It was a direct sub of GM not any other offshoot.
    They drive Chevs now, because that was basically the only alternative.
    And all cars must fit 100% into the predefined car silhouettes.
    And 95% of parts are control parts.
    Engines and oower levels are strictly monitored.

    I was there. Most insane day I've ever experienced. Bunch of local council workers fixing the track with 130 000 people on track and millions on TV was hilarious because all we had to do was drink in the meantime.

    V8 Supercars was open to manufacturers but they had to meet strict rules and manufacturers that didnt have a current production car they could modify to make into a race car for this just wouldnt do it because it was too costly. Mercedes (under the name Erebus, its a long story), Volvo and Nissan were competing for a few year stint but then found it too costly. Back when it was proper touring cars there were a bunch of manufacturers, but as they became more race car and less production car that can be used as a race car many left the competition, leaving it as Ford and Holden for a long while. Currently its Ford and Chevy as Holden doesnt exist anymore (GM decided to shut it down in 2018) and Ford only exist in Mustangs, making the current line up 0% Australian much to the ire of Australians. This race was during that semi recent stint where a bunch of manufacturers decided to give it a shot when V8 Supercars outright told manufactueres they are free to join so long as they meet certain specifications. The Ford and Holden cars were loosely based off of road going production cars so it was "cheap" comparitevely speaking to modify to make it into a race car. The other manufacturers didnt really have a suitable platform for that given the specifications, so they had to extensively modify the closest match they had for their road going cars, but the work was considerably more expensive than what Ford and Holden had to do given that Ford and Holden always had these racing cars in mind. Given that the other manufactuers had little market share in the country and it was more expensive to make/run these cars, they pulled out for cost reasons
    I remember seeing this race live and it was a rollercoaster of emotions

      When you were talking about when the sport became Ford and Holden only for a while, I think it was also a case of fans not wanting to see another brand in the series.
      Then as for the other manufacturers joining in but not having a suitable platform, I thought CotF rules (specially that the race car chassis design was supposed to be similar regardless of model) was there to accommodate the new manufacturers. But in the end, the sport was still effectively a Holden vs Ford affair, making the other manufacturers an afterthought, with Mercedes and Nissan each scoring 1 win every other year, while the Volvo was mostly down to McLaughlin. The brands left for various reasons: Mercedes was never there to begin with so Erebus decided to pull the plug and run Holdens instead, Volvo was changing its image as a brand, and Nissan putting more focus towards Formula E (though there were suggestions that they were waiting for Supercars to change the regulations to be able to allow body types beyond sedans so they would be able to run the GT-R, but took too long to implement so they decided to leave).

    Imagine pushing a car for 1000km, teammate crashed it, a lap down and you make this move on the last lap, you could cry at this. Cars with engines are more than just metal. :') BTW Dan and Spencer, thank you for showing appreciation for Van Gissy and Scott McLaughlin.

    Gone are the days when you didn’t have the safety car ruining the race and you only used local yellow flags until the track was cleared.
    That was when you had drivers like Peter “Perfect” Brock who was able to win the race by 6 laps.

    17:44 F1, WEC, Supercars all allow some amount of repairs during red flags.....I'm surprised NASCAR doesn't. Like what if a driver has a punctured tire, do they have to drive the restart lap on a damaged tire at slow speed while others are flying past at warp speed until they reach the pits? That doesn't make much sense, it seems unsafe and also might ruin the show.
