With the Bathurst track just over the mountain from where I live I have seen this clip dozens of times…
But let me tell you right now…your reaction has given me chills!
Awesome job guys!
Please remember one more thing…
This is just one lap.
The Bathurst 1000 is 160 of these exact same laps of pure concentration!

Thank you so much for checking out the video, truly appreciate the love. This race looks crazy but really damn cool. Thank you for subscribing as well.

haters are saying svg can't do ovals after winning his nascar race. he has won bathurst and I'm pretty sure he can manage 4 corners repetitively 😂🇳🇿
I was going to type the same thing. That was just one lap, now do it another 160 times more. However there are 2 drivers per car.
@@stu290bushrider 🫡
When Larko breaks out the marker you know shit's about to get real.
larkos magic tv makes the supercars series so much better than any Yankee series. the supercars production is in another level. got a lot to learn America !!?
Wasn't Larko a chalky (school teacher) in a previous life?
and his chalk. lol
I remember when he raced the Mitre 10 Ford. He tried to bring in new tech into the sport back in the day.
Larko is a national treasure
Don't forget , you have to do that one lap 161 times !!
I meant to ask that! That;s crazy. about how long does the race normally last?
@@RealFansSports goes for about 6 hrs you have co drivers alot of strategy involved
@@Million2onePodcast ahh ok. that makes a lot of sense
Glad you like our great race I’m 64 and been watching it for 60 years. A former NASCAR driver went for a hot lap (Darrell Waltrip) well worth the watch.
That Waltrip hot lap is a good laugh & I don't even follow the race 😂
Gives some context for our American friends on how Shane Van Gisbergen was able to win the Chicago street race on his NASCAR debut.
Plus the fact that these guys don’t race ovals. SVG drove that Chicago race like a ninja warrior in the middle of a street fight.
Oh did you Australians claim him too
@@mikehoskin1674 nah he’s a proud Kiwi. You can have Russell Crowe back too!!! 😀
@@mikehoskin1674 Who are you calling an Aussie?
@@mikehoskin1674we claim all good New Zealanders
It was at Mt Panorama that the I car tv camera was invented The engineers at Australia’s channel 7 devised it. They had to have a helicopter flying directly above the car carrying the camera. There was a executi ve from one of the US networks waiting at Sydney’s airport for his flight back to the USA He saw this race starting on the tv in the passenger lounge and was so stunned by the in car pictures and the commentary during the race from the driver he cancelled his flight to the USA and got himself on a plane to Bathurst. There, he did a deal with channel 7 to licence the technology in the USA
CBS in the US developed the first in- car camera which debuted at the 1979 Daytona 500. Later the same year Channel 7 debuted their camera for the Hardie Ferodo 1000. The Channel 7 system was superior, but it would not be until 1981 that CBS licenced the technology. It is not clear where the myth started that Channel 7 was the first - 7 was the best but not the first.
@@robossuperchannel9434 I dont know where it started, but I heard this on Channel 7. However it came about, it changed motorsport for me. Suddenly I found it was a fascinating TV spectacle. I thought the most amazing scene was when Dick Johnson was commenting from his race car roaring down Conrod Straight at what seemed like 500km/h, and chatting almost casually across Australia to Fremantle, to Ian Murray and the America's cup team on board the yacht off Fremantle. At both ends of the link, the race was under way and this was all going on from the races!!
"en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RaceCam" Funny but other sites state..
"Benny Parson’s car was the first to carry an in-car camera at the 1979 Daytona 500" Which I guess is when that Executive brought the technology from Aussie.
@@stumpypetros2685 The CBS system used at the '79 and '80 Daytona races is a completely different system to Racecam. The development of this system is covered in the CBS doco of that '79 race and in a number of books.
CBS commentator Ken Squire attended the '80 James Hardie 1000 and commented during the broadcast on the superiority of the Channel 7 system. Four months later CBS discard their system and Racecam debuts at Daytona for the '81 race
@@stumpypetros2685 ruclips.net/video/FDrjxwrA0GE/видео.htmlm48s
The CBS system looks like it was better suited to the space program. The Seven system was elegant in comparison.
You should watch Daryl Waltrip (Ex Nascar driver and commentator) be given a hot lap around Bathurst and hear his impressions. Narrator is a ex driver. Great reaction guys.
That actually sounds sick! We definitely have to find that one to react to.
One of the funniest videos in motor sport I have ever seen..........as an Australian that had me in tears and my stomach hurt from laughing so much, definitely give it a watch 👍 First time viewer and I like your style guys, new subscriber from Australia 🇦🇺
@@nolimitsgolf Appreciate the love! We definitely have to watch it now!
@@RealFansSports just subscribed and yeah def watch poor old Daryl my fav of his comments is "its a geological oddity "
@@nolimitsgolf Yeah it's so funny I thought it was Will Ferrell lol 😆
Watch Peter Brock, 9 time Bathurst winner, ride along. He talking, joking, answering questions while driving hard and explaining the track all at the same . Narrator. A legend and current commentator.
Peter brock is dead my man.
@@AdamWorsnop-l9k May Peter Perfect RIP!
All the while with one arm out the window!
@@AdamWorsnop-l9k yup but that was mind blowing to guys who thought the prospect of holding a full conversation while completing that lap.
Brock died right after Steve Irwin.
There's a joke.
When Steve Irwin got to heaven, god eventually found him and told him he can bring one thing to heaven with him.
A few months later, Irwin went back to god and said "I SAID CROC NOT BROCK'
My favourite race was 2006. We lost legendary racer, Peter Brock, less than a month beforehand and his protégé, Craig Lowndes, won the race. It was amazing to watch.
whether you love him or hated him every motor sport fan cried that day when lowndes won that race
Go back and watch a race with the king of the mountain peter Brock 1979 race 20 sec a lap slower then this crap. With different classes of race cars. And end up 36 ks in front of 2 Nd place. That's a drive
@@trevorfitzgerald4996 thats why he was the greatest. same as the race where he was a lap up and instead of backing off on the final lap he goes and breaks the lap record
I remember that. The green eyed monster. Lowndes was always my favourite racer.
We all thought Skaife would win it but he cooked the clutch off the line and didn't make it up Mountain Straight. I was at the Esses and could hear the Ford nuts screaming.
Mark Larkham was one of best drivers and he is the face of technical analysis and presentation to the viewers..... bar none..... and a great ambassador for the sport.....
6 hours, 1000kms, 161 laps, uphill & downhill, bumps, blind turns, THAT'S BATHURST
Please react to Darrell Waltrip's hot lap around Mount Panorama
You forgot the odd roo jumping across the track.
@@larslange5482
And the odd rock that falls on to the track!
🤣🤣🤣
@@181drake Yes that too
@@181drake and ocassionally a tyre comes off a car and takes a wander down the track and comes to a rest perfectly on top of a pile of barrier tyres 😄
@@TheoEclipsewhen was that because i know that exact incident but i can't remember the year
Im a local here in bathurst. When its not race weekend, its used as a public road and you can visit the parks up the top of the mount as well as walk the track. The view at the top is amazing and to drive around here on a sunday is really amazing
My father was raised in Bathurst, he was a paramedic during the race and it a special race.
....also, what he didnt mention is one hazard NOBODY can predict, that is, KANGAROO'S!
Do they really have kangaroos thatll jump into the track? Thats scary enough in itself. ive had several deer run infront of my car on the highway and that stuff is scary
Yep a few have been hit or very near misses
@@darrenmiller8693 dang thats crazy
@@RealFansSports No thats Kangaroos
@@RealFansSports Think there's a video where Skippy goes flippy in one of the Bathurst videos
Mark Larkham is one of the commontators and he goes around the pits and pitlane a lot and talks to drivers and teams during the race. He knows a lot of technical stuff and explaines things well to the audience. As well as he was a driver too he can explain things well on that side too. You already seen his knowledge of the track.
and his magic tv lol its fantastic when he compares the strategies that the teams are using in real time
And he was a legendary driver in his day too
Australia loves Larko !!!
Race Distance - 161 laps of this track, over and over for up to 8 hours.
Track Distance - 6.213km (3.8 miles). A 174 m (571 ft) vertical difference between its highest and lowest points, and grades as steep as 1:6.13.
Pit stops - seven compulsory (can vary for tactics) (INCLUDING COMPLETE MELTING HOT FRONT END/BRAKE ROTOR AND PAD CHANGE)
Race lap record - 2 minutes 04.7602 (Chaz Mostert, Ford Mustang, 2019)
he's been quicker
The narrator was Mark Larkham racer and also was a team owner. He raced open wheelers and the V8 supercars. As an aside there are only two races that matter in Australia. Three if you ride bikes. The first is the Melbourne Cup for horses...which is a public holiday. The second is Bathurst 100 and the bike race is Phillip iSland GP for the bikes
Perhaps you should watch a crash compilation of the Isle of Mann TT. Its been run yearly for around 108 years and something like 260 riders have been killed.and spectators for that matter. Its only for motorcycles and outfits, held on public roads through the towns and out in the country. Its about 26 miles long. The course is lined with stone walls in the town and stone fences and barbed wire fences in the country. Bikes have been clocked at 230 mph. Average speed is 138 mph. Its NOT a race as the riders are sent out at 10 second intervals. The fastest overall time wins.
Ahh ok so hes kind of a legend in the sport, if im assuming correctly. and ok we could definitely check that out! We are doing some reactions this weekend so should have it out soon. and that sounds intense. i could imagine with that many casualties it would make sense not to make it a race
Not a sports fan. This race closes off local roads and takes them over, until after the race. After, you can drive them at 60k, normal legal speed. You guys were all fired up, and that was only one lap, these guys drive in shifts, for hours. At any time each one can mess it all up. The race is in october. You just heard a pep talk aimed at his drivers, he retired from driving, now owns a team.
@@kathleenmayhorne3183 Yeah we figured it was more than one lap and when someone in the comments told us how many it was, blew my mind! I hope to be able to watch it this year!
Hi guys just a slight correction to @jsegal8385,. It is Bathurst 1000, a 1000km race
Aussie here and this video just bought back the absolute Awe . This event is Huge one of our Main events outside of League.. Gave me Goosebumps. Loved watching your reaction.
Another thing that they don't tell you about Bathurst is that the track is partly public roads they close off parts of the town for the 1000, going over skyline at speed is one of the best thrilling moments your heart can take. Nascar has nothing on Bathurst. This one lap is repeated 161 times over the day.
Great review...the mountain is recognised globally as in the top 5 circuits in the world. Bathurst 1000 is 6 to 7 hours of flat out racing. If you get a chance you need to watch it. Paul from Australia
Extra notes with that first corner is this is absolutely an endurance race, at the fastest track of the season. So that first turn at Hell Corner is done on cold tyres, with a full tank of petrol, and they stretch the gear ratios out for this race to account for the higher average speeds - so working a cold clutch from a standing start is an art form in itself. It's a remarkable thing to watch.
Also, congrats to Shane Van Gisbergen who travelled from Supercars over to Chicago and won his first time in the first ever Nascar street circuit.
In the wet. Which is also foreign to NASCAR. More commonly they pack up and go home during wet weather. Have a go at Bathurst during the wet. It happens.
Everyone needs to drive around this track at least once to understand the elevation changes. The speeds they reach with no room for error and doing it 161 times is phenomenal.
My eyes wide open just thinking about the tyres leaving the ground around those descents... if you got any speed that is HAIRY! Sheeeeesh
TV gives it no credit on how steep the mountain is.
You should look up Peter Brock, the King of the Mountain. He has one of the highest numbers of wins in the Bathurst 1000, plus wins in several other race events held on the same track. His career spanned decades. Sadly, he died after crashing during a race (not at Panorama).
The elevation changes on this track need to be seen to realise how much of a challenge it is..
One of the great race tracks in the world...
We love our Bathurst every year. Hope you guys watch a Bathurst whole race this year. Respect to you guys from Queensland Australia.
This is your Daytona but with left AND right turns. Up the mountain,( a public road most of the year ) and down the other side. There is nothing like it as Mark says. Once a year in November. Hi from OZ.🤘
Umm try October.
My apologies.😉
Ben Collins - The Stig also raced this. He said this is the only race where the pre race briefing said watch out for stray kangaroos. It may have been another race on the circut, and not the Bathurst 1000, but he spoke about it in his book.
It’s part of all briefings for Bathurst races - not Just Supercars
or Echidna's!!!
and lizards, snakes and rocks
So besides the track being challenging, you have to remember weather conditions change, from dry to wet, and the wildlife, either it be a kangaroo jumping out in front of you or an echidna trying to cross the road
Here is the most impressive fact. THIS is a public road, the whole track
Mark Larkman is Australian motorsport champion, and former Supercar team owner; with decades of experience under his belt.
Great video! As an Australian, I watch this race every year, and it’s essentially our version of the Daytona 500, “the great race” as we call it. One of the best races in recent history was the 2014 Bathurst 1000, Josh Revell has made a video about that particular race and I think it would be a good watch for you to react to.
ruclips.net/video/XMkzDMAP-80/видео.html
for me the 2014 edition is the best race ever in any form of racing. With everything that it had
Awesome Video guys, I was raised watching this race in New Zealand and I remember watching the cars since I was born, almost lol, as long as I can remember and sometimes you need to see things through other peoples eyes, Sometimes we got to get a new perpective, And that dude in the video is an old racing legend, and dont forget they got to do that for 6 hours , 122 times. Thanks Guys , Def gonna follw you guys, Stay Awesome. Cant wait til October !!!!
Thanks for doing my request this is one of my favourite videos I've been to bathurst since I was a kid very special place
Ofcourse! We appreciate you for giving us this recommendation! After we were finished recording we talked about it for another 30+ minutes. It was so cool!
Larko (Mark Larkham) is part of the furniture at Bathurst & his job was doing exactly this, telling us what's going on during the race. You need to strap in and watch a full Bathurst1000
They tried to sack him a few years ago and the fans went hard on a petition and campaign to get him back.
Great reaction. BATHURST is an awesome track. Shane Van Gisburghan first Nascar drive won at Chicago as a rookie ... first time in 60 years.
F1 champion Alan Jones said he would train in his championship wins, to win at Bathurst. Truly a magical and unique race event.
Glad you enjoyed your first lap of the worlds greatest car race. Now get comfy for the next 160 laps. Bathhurst is a 1000km event that runs a whole day. Each car has 2 drivers and there's 2 changes during the race. The presenter is a retired racer who's been a commentator for at least 20 or more years. Mark Larkham is an expert in the field and he loves his white marker and clear board 😁 The best part of the race, that isn't mentioned, is the weather. There's been years when the sun was shinning at the bottom and terrential rain at the top. Makes the pit staff essential
There are two races at Bathurst, the Bathurst 1000, a 1000km race in October and the Bathurst 12 hour in February. The rest of the time its a normal road. The track is a bit over 6km (about 3.8 miles) long and has a vertical difference of 174m (570 feet). It's been described as the Aussie Nordschleife. Trans-Am Series champion Gar Robinson said, "If you took Virginia International Raceway and turned it into a street course and then added walls, kangaroos and Tim Tams, that’s Bathurst. (Tim Tams are a popular Aussie biscuit.)
A lot more than two. 12hr, 6hr, 1000, International, and this is just the main ones.
You guys are great, that was fantastic. Watch "Waltrip's Ride Of A Lifetime", where Darrell Waltrip goes for a ride around Mt Panorama - very entertaining :)
Appreciate you Curt! And ok we will have to add that to our list. We definitely want to watch some more
Thanks mate, save me writing that!
Jason drove Darrell around the track and I've never been happier for a man's commentary so much that he made me spit my beer outa my nose laughing! We gotta get Darrell doing stand-up. It was fantastic!
Darrell was entertaining like Steve Harvey. Not really. Sure he had great reactions and facial expressions, but little else, certainly no race expertise, apart from "you guys are crazy!!"
EDIT: NO disrespect for Darrell he's a LEGEND in NASCAR. He's just not a Supercar driver, this comaprison makes no sense apart from the comedic value.
If you ever get to Australia I'd suggest you go to Bathurst and drive the track. It gives you a whole new appreciation of just how good the drivers are. For your ordinary driver it can be scary - the tight turns, the ups and downs, the blind spots.
That guy that jumped in a NASCAR for the first time for the first Chicago street race and won, has won this race. Now you understand where he got some of his skills from! (I say "some" because SVG can basically drive the wheels off anything!).
Love seeing the reaction, it's always good to see people from around see what we do down here, and hopefully like it!
It was this race competition that further developed carcam from when it was developed by Channel 7 in Australia, and from there to the rest of the motorsport world.
Great reaction vid guys. Yeah anyone who thinks motorsport isn't sport doesn't understand how sharp, fit and brave these guys need to be. It's absolutely incredible how tough this is for a professional let alone anyone else.
The Bathurst 1000 is the pinnacle of Australian Super Car Racing, 3 days on the hill. Anything can happen, from kangaroos bouncing in front of them to flying tyres! My friend used to work for one of the teams, Bathurst was always the one they wanted to win the most. If you guys watched more, trust me you will be hooked. A great race and a great reaction....keep it up guys :)
If you want to see something special at this track, search Greg Murphy lap of the gods.
Larko is such an awesome commentator and his knowledge is second to none.
I love Bathurst, there is no place like it
Give it up he's time has been broken. Typical GM BS
Hell corner is called that because there used to be a tree stump at the exit of the corner back when they used to race motorcycles there. Get it wrong and there was a very high chance you were going to hit that stump sending you straight to hell. Lots of motorcycle racers died there.
oh my goodness. thats insane... prayers for them
Glad you guys got to watch and experience what Supercars are like. I’d recommend you watch a live race when Bathurst is on in October
Totally agree, one really has to spend the whole day ( 6hrs ) watching. Just leaving to get food could have a massive change in the state of play with the teams, that you have completely missed out on.
The track is a road that you can drive around when the race is not being held and you experience it at a normal speed, braking around the turns makes you understand how hard it is to do at racing speed.
Great video guys, good to see your reactions and perspective on the Great Race at Bathurst. If you want to see how a NASCAR legend reacts to being driven on a hot lap around Mount Panorama, you should check out Daryl Waltrips experience when he visited Bathurst a few years ago. Very funny seeing him react to the twists and turns as he experienced the race track as a passenger. Cheers, Rod
I agree 100% with you Rod, it's one of the coolest videos on RUclips! Never seen a Nascar driver shit his pants like Daryl did as a passenger around The Mountain.
I drive Challenge Bathurst every year and race my own car with no roll cage for 6x20 minute sessions over a weekend. It's a state level racing event and adrenaline at its best. An invite only event held over 4 days late in November and for a club level racer like me it's nothing short of a privilege to drive a road registered car in anger around what can only be described as the pinnacle of Aussie Motorsport 🏁
ruclips.net/video/kLkLtBkUVuo/видео.html
Thanks for the react, it's an EPIC EVENT and RACE.
This is actually good timing, because "The Big Race" is next weekend 5-8 OCT. "Bathurst 1000", this big race happens only once a year. The main event is on Sunday (Australia time). If you can find a live stream, you should check it out, if you can. Cheers.
BTW… when the race isn’t on, this is a public road. People live next to this road (they have a perfect view of the race). I live about 2 1/2 hrs further west of Bathurst in New South Wales.
Have a look at Peter brock in 87 in the wet on slicks on this track outside of raceing it’s a public road and speed limit is 60km
This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen and I really enjoyed it. I agree, their balls are made of steel. My son-in-law is a V8 Supercar driver and this race is ‘the one’ they all look forward to, it’s in their blood. There’s nothing like the sound that you hear standing track side as each car passes. The main race this year is on the 8th of October.
I have driven a supercar (5 laps) at Eastern Creek before he meet my daughter and I thought that was awesome. But then he took me on a double hot lap (two laps of the same circuit that I had already driven with him as the driver), he had total control at speed in the wet (it was raining), the G forces were unbelievable and it was to awesome for words just like the grandchildren he gave me 😊
Thank you for stopping by the channel. And that sounds like a pretty awesome experience honestly I bet it was a crazy experience though.
@@RealFansSports being an adrenaline junkie I highly recommend you put it on your to do list if you ever come to Australia 💜🇦🇺
For people outside of Australia who haven’t grown up watching Bathurst, it’s nothing like NASCAR, nothing like Formula 1, it’s like nothing you’ve seen. Remember, those car engines are over 600 horse power of brute force.
You guys have taught me more about racing and Bathurst than IV known in 40 years in Sydney. That you understand it straight away when I didn't know this much and I remember as a kid watching the race, I used to get bored but that was short and quality. That was awesome. ✌️✌️
13:09 Chaz mostert broke his leg in that crash and a couple of field marshals were injured
I was wondering what the outcome of that was. Thats brutal
@@RealFansSports He hit the left wall with his tyre and broke the steering, so he did not have control of the car after that.
Yeah, Chaz broke his wrist and his Femur. The Femur is the strongest bone in the body. Imagine the force it took to snap it. You can literally see it snap on the onboard camera... left femur... Snap!
Hey there from Australia , love how you guys got into this video. I watch this religiously evey year. Means more to me than my birthday etc . Cheers 🍻
Bathurst again. Try, Lap of the gods. Greg Murphy. Then watch Scott maglauglan do the same lap years later. You WILL enjoy. Hi from OZ.🤘
Don't forget this track is an actual road for the public I've driven this many times and you can't believe the speed they are driving at. Insane.
The dipper was smoothed out but you are still right, you will go through that corner on two wheels every time.
Insane!
I got to do a lap of the track in February, it gives you a whole new appreciation of the race and the divers skill
If you have a good gaming system you can download all the great race tracks around the world and drive them in your own home, Ian of I W ROCKER (a fellow American) did I'd and drove BATHURST. He did well after a few laps Ian was only 13 seconds of the lap record. Sitting in his home in Illinois
WHAT?! That would be so cool. maybe one day we will be able to buy something like that. Ive seen videos of people with crazy driving set ups and they all look sick
another interesting thing is a lot of the in car camera stuff you see in other motor sports was developed at the Bathurst races and earlier races used production cars and parts that anyone could buy.. :)
You need to watch American racing champion Darrel Waltrip do a lap of Mount Panorama. His reaction is hilarious.
We live in the next town over from Bathurst (Orange) and we never take Bathurst 1000 weekend for granted...best weekend of the year, best race of the season...on the best racetrack in the world...nothing beats it! (yeah, I'm biased). Thanks for sharing your thoughts guys.
The commentator is Mark Larkham, 3 times winner of the race.
If anyone is interested, this race lasts roughly 6hrs with 2 drivers interchanging during the race, which breaks down to 161 laps of the 6.213km track at between 300kmph = 186mph and 200kmph = 124mph, also Bathurst is so fast and narrow that some of these crashes you have watched has claimed more then a few lives. Australia has 2 races that will bring this country to an almost complete stop 1- The Melbourne Cup first Tuesday of November and 2- The Bathurst 1000 is generally held on a Sunday the 2nd weekend of October which is a 4 day public holiday here
.
Okay fella's, now that you have just gone through ONE lap... go and do it again 160 more times... THEN you have finished the race!!! I loved the look on both your faces while you were watching this!! Us Aussies' are crazy hey!! 🤣
9:59 That green XBOX car was being driven by a mate of mine. He was flying at the time when the steering failed. He hit the wall so hard he broke his ribs, was knocked unconscious and had even stopped breathing. He drove the next few races with broken ribs. Thanks for watching.
you guys are gonna love this one
Yes we definitely enjoyed this one and are wanting some more if anyone has any references.
@@RealFansSports You should definitely look into the 24 hours of nurburgring
The guy in the video has raced Bathurst many times and has been a commentator for the race for many years. He is the best I've heard. He can watch live footage of under the car only seeing the back wheel while it's doing a lap of the track and can tell you exactly where they are, what speed, braking, accelerating, position, what they should be doing. Every driver needs to know this track very well to make it around. They sometimes take people as passanges around the track on hotlaps. Most people go pale when they reach the top and they can't see the road anymore. International drivers come over to co-drive. It takes a few goes to be fast and finish the race. We love watching every year. The TV is on all weekend. It's by far the best race in Australia.
Speeds are in kilometres . 100kph is 61mph. 260 is 163mph.
Yeah we knew that. might of mixed up a couple times and said mph jsut out of habit. At one point in the video we did go and look up what that speed would be in mph
Mark Larkham who is commentating is an ex v8 supercars driver which is why he can explain so graphically. He's done this shit many times. And yes, Mt Panorama is 1 of the most difficult tracks on the globe if not the most! The vision doesn't do it justice to how extreme it is. This is why Aussie drivers reaching this level do so well in Nascar and other motorsports.
the guy explaining Mt Panorama race is a retired V8 Super car Driver Mark Larkham.one of the best drivers.
If anyone is interested this race lasts roughly 6hrs with 2 drivers interchanging during the race, which breaks down to 161 laps of the 6.213km track at between 300kmph = 186mph and 200kmph = 124mph, also Bathurst is so fast and narrow that some of these crashes you have watched has claimed more then a few lives. Australia has 2 races that will bring this country to an almost complete stop 1- The Melbourne Cup first Tuesday of November and 2- The Bathurst 1000 is generally held on a Sunday the 2nd weekend of October which is a 4 day public holiday here

You guys need to watch a RUclips vid of Peter Brock talking on car cam at Bathurst. He won Bathurst 9 times and was an absolute Aussie Legend
With his arm hanging out the window!!
Thank you for highlighting my home town. Mount Panorama is a part of me and it's more insane when you're there watching.
Yes, we actually watched this past Bathurst and hosted a live watch-party for the entire thing. It was so amazing and fun we had a ball during that life stream.
@@RealFansSports That's really cool. Thanks 👍 for letting me know.
I'm sad your intro to Bathurst was this year, it was boring s hell. Watch again next year, the racing gets a lot better, especially if it starts to rain :)@@RealFansSports
@@aussiegta8267 definitely still enjoyed it though and cool seeing svp go out with a bang! Definitely will keep watching every year
One thing to remember that at one part they cannot even see the track from the dip to the right.
This race was originally set that they would race on Sunday and sell from showrooms Monday. There is a story of one of the teams breaking down when driving the race car from Sydney to Bathurst. They got the Holden car dealer in the town to open up and the drive off in a similar off the showroom flor.
I’m an Aussie who loves Aussie Supercars and Mt Panorama. Get onto Gran Turismo or whatever console/computer game you can access, and drive the track. Even in a racing game you can get an idea and feel of this iconic place!!
It’s a public road and to drive around the circuit any other day is a real eye opener. It’s not a hill climb, it’s so steep on the way up but on the way down there are corners you can not see over the bonnet. They are doing blistering speeds into and through sections that are so scetchy, even at 60 km an hour. To actually see the course is when I truly understood how serious Mt Panorama is. It’s an amazing place to visit.
The Mount Panorama circuit measures 6.213km long, with Sunday's race scheduled for 161 laps - split between a main driver (who pilots the car solo for most of the year) and a ring-in co-driver, including many previous full-time racers. Fot the rest of the year the road is a Public road.
Got to remember this is in kilometers per hour, not miles per hour.
60mph is roughly 100kph, 120mph is 200kph, 180mph is 300kph.
Have driven this sreet circuit in a ordinary vehicle, 60kmph speed limit, frightened the heck out of me as a passenger and as a driver.
agreed, did the lap in a Holden trailblazer SUV, had to delete the dash cam video due to the swearing on my part. its a heck of a Public Road at 60kmph
at 14:22, I think there was one driver only a few years back that successfully pulled off the perfect overtake there. While the guy in front was taking it easy, he came in RED HOT and locked up his wheels in a huge bloom of smoke to slip into that tiny little gap and successfully pulled in front without causing an accident and took the lead and kept going. There is footage on youtube somewhere.
The Chase was added to Conrod Straight back in 1987.
I remember watching before this as a kid, cars coming down Conrod Straight at full speed then having to slow down at the last second to make a 90 degree turn into Main Straight.
Even people who don’t follow cars know and follow the Bathurst 1000 here.
Those first couple corners that CAN kill you, is for a reason. Men have died doing this race. You were right to cringe at some of those crashes. The technology has come amazingly far over the years though, and seeing the guys literally get out and walk away from some of these smashes is incredible.
On top of everything else described in the clip, the drivers also have to worry about wildlife. I remember a driver hitting a kangaroo a few years back in the middle of the race. Car basically exploded.
If you want to see more have a look at some of the crash compilations. And if you want to see one of our biggest Bathurst legends, check out Peter Brock.
Glad you enjoyed this one guys. 😁
This is one of the racetracks that Shane van Gisberben learned is driving skills on, on his way to win his first race in Nasar, Chicago 2023.
In the 1970's I was a flag marshall at The Mountain and Amaroo. The mountain is also a 600 foot climb, and back then there was no Caltex Chase, Conrod Straight was aptly named. In those days there were 4 categories and around 60 cars I think, the world's fastest 4 door sedan at the time, the GTHO Phase 3 Falcon constantly trying to get around the bricks, like the Mini Cooper S and everything in between. Lunch was delivered before the race started, frozen Kentucky Fried chicken, when Murray Carter blew his conrods we tried to get him to park it closer, to warm up our lunch on his bonnet. He was in no mood to take any notice of us.
This is my first video I see from you guys. As a big fan of all type of motorsports, you guys did a good job with this video.
One thing you cannot see on film is the actual incline of the road.
It is damn steep both up and down.
Bathurst is just part of the event it races in different towns we just had Townsville 400 which part of the event by the way very cool they race all over Australia it is a big 3day event if you love V8 racing or racing in general you will love this very cool love from a fan north Queensland Australia fan of this live
You boys need to come to Bathurst and do a circuit when it's public road.
P.S. In Australia when the sign says 60km/h it means 60km/h
Nothing like going there and driving your own car around the circuit. That really gives you an understanding of how full on it must be for those daredevils.
The late 1970s was a special period in the history of the Bathurst 1000. The cars weren't high tech, and they were slower, but spectators got a thrill. Pity they didn't have HD cameras back then. Still good to watch (I'm pretty sure it's on RUclips somewhere).
The best years of Bathurst are over - when it used to be just Holden v Ford cars. Fans were crazy and the mountain was covered in red and blue all over the campgrounds and crowds.
The guy talking - Larko - was a racer, then a team owner and is now a TV pundit. He's very good!
I grew up watching Bathurst, my brother in law Alan Cant came out from the UK with Sterling Moss in the 70’s-80’s to race along side Peter Brock. Ford Cortina vs Holden Toranna.
I live down the road from the track and the amazing thing is that it is a public road that anyone can drive on. But, be aware it is a two way road with a 60kpm speed limit which is police patrolled. I love driving around it and there is no way I can take some of those corners at 60kpm..
Right! 60km/hr feels way too fast on some parts 😳 It makes the race even more insane. I love it!
Hi to you both, back in the 90’s, I had the opportunity to drive around Mt Panorama as it is a public road when the race isn’t on, 160 kilometres I got up to, it was very exciting, I was in a Celica 162 with full spoiler kit on it and low profile tyres so the car just hugged the road.
i love how you guy can appreciate the sports and things we have here in good ol australia. we so similar to you guys in many ways but we do things hard down here, from our racing to our football im glad other can enjoy what we love
I couldn’t agree more! A lot of the people that join us during our live streams even for the NFL are usually aussies and we have a great time talking bs and enjoying sports. Very similar
@@RealFansSports i love america, although aussie born, i feel like i was ment to be born there, love your country so much, just how arnold schwazenegger felt about not being born there, but i must say australia is amazing and would be my top 2 places to live if i had a choice. just love both countrys cultures and sports and yea
Consider this too guys....back in the day Bathurst had I think 6 Divisions....from 4 cylinder rice burners,up through the 6 cylinder boys and into the V8 monsters...plus,back in the day,rack and pinion steering,drum brakes and single clutch set ups...
Around that very same track you just saw.
It was chaos....
