Great camera work...….missed the GT launch burnout

Mount Panorama! What a great track this is. Australia's legend. Greets from Germany to you guys. 👊

Whether you're a holden fan or a ford fan, it is truly sad to see the end of an era for Australia car racing. I feel aussie has lost its identity across the board not just in car racing.

The whole world wants to see the GT laying rubber and you missed it

Would be totally badass to see an entire field of GTLM cars unleashed at full speed around Bathurst!

"Have a listen!" - Talks over it Knobhead

I missed this last weekend, it was actually a lot closer than I thought after seeing similar races at the F1.

No more aussie cars on an aussie track how sad too see the competition go, I'll miss those races

Thanks for posting. 👍🏻

End of an era. Quite sad really.

Massively staged. GT didnt try for most of the lap and the supercar backed off into the chase.

I'm 4 years too late, but as a big Ford fan this was heartwarming to see. Farewell Falcon!

Absolutely love the GTE ford GT

Who cares if it was staged?? It was still cool to see these truly phenomenal cars come together on a single lap.

Should have put a Ranger Raptor 2L in there. How many months before it gets to 110kph?

This reminds me of the 1 Lap Magic Driving Missions in Gran Turismo 4!

Going to miss the falcon... Don't know what I'll buy when my current falcon wears out, there just isn't a car as good!

Of course it's staged... all speed comparisons like this (or the Aus gp every year) are. It's just a little demonstration and advertisement for kids and adults. Interestingly a lot of 'adults' take it seriously and start throwing numbers and opinions out about how they performed.

What engine is powering the GTE? Is it a Briggs & Stratton?

At least Ford is still offering Australia a replacement V8, and it's more than what I say about Holden

That was fun !

Legend!!!!!

I am just wondering what the flying lap time would have been if at all

Love to see a McLaren P1 or 650S around there

It seems staged, the GT was around the same distance back from the Supercar for most of the lap, and then made all the time up in the last couple of corners.

No one: Ford gt: Ima boing! boin! all the track

How did this get recorded?

Imagine the shock on the crowds faces when they realized all three cars were coming for them.

Still can't believe the Falcon and Commodore are gone. They were wonderful drivers cars with utility and comfort unmatched at their price points. There's nothing on the market that meets my needs & gives me the same thrill as my SS-V wagon - for even remotely the same money.

I have been wondering if we will see a race series for 4x4s, utes and wagons? There are enough different manufacturers and models on the car yard lots to provide reasonable competition and we have seen ute and truck racing. Any thoughts anyone?

Where are the lap times?

*when you set up a one sided race in Forza Motorsport*

Sad times Bloody sad times 😒

It was a nice parade lap.

Looks like the staging was a bit of a balls-up, as they had to let the GT catch up more than usual for one of these "comparison" thingos (usually isn't quite as noticeable). Either that or Briscoe plodded a bit too much over the top.

That made for quite a show... but not without a little extra braking and a little less throttle from some of the drivers...

Can we have GTE class for Bathurst 12h?

They can race my diesel Fiesta, set the record for most laps without a refuel. Of course that doesn't mean much when the other cars have lapped you 50 times.

IMSA Weather Tech Series needs to race at Bathurst

Ye gods but that GT40 looks evil. How wonderful!

Where's Jordan Cox Honda? That should have been there.. haha.. brilliant car and driver.

I live in america and realized at the end why the focus was called the falcon

What are they replacing the Falcons with?

Wtf the gt was in 4th gear through the whole mountain

Nothing beats our Australian ford falcon v8 supercar

I was there saturday and sunday i was in front of m.jones when he got out after the crash

Why did this take longer than the Holden one ???

Anybody got the lap times?

And that was when aussies lost their race. Thanks for many years of enjoyment

On that GT the wheel looks like a game controller lol

Why Ryan Briscoe is right-foot braking?

I want a Stinger on the grid. The only true performance RWD most people can afford here now.

Farewell to the great Falcon.

bring back the skylines!

Now those ford fans who were yelling in the 2004 shootout with a VYSS, brock’s torana A9X and 2004 Holden supercar can be happy.

Anyone tell me why the Falcons won't race anymore? Such timeless GT racers those have been including the Commodore.

the GIRTH on the GT

Why don’t they put certain type of camera in these cars so people at home can use a VR head set and cycle through the drivers while they race

Not gonna lie, as cool as this was, I still prefer the Holden comparison from 15 years ago.

I'm not an Aussie but American and it's sad to see the Falcon go, it's sad to see ford kill off their car lines, reminds me of when they killed off the panther platform here in the states, no more big rear wheel drive cars for FoMoCo. I would love to see the Crown Vic, and Town Car again, sad to see the Falcon go with them.

So a fair well to the Aus Falcon but not one falcon in there.... good work Australia

Dont they have a fast car for the race?

The falcon was last, the commentator must have been overexcited "...the falcon has reigned supreme....".

Falcon 😍

I hope Ford put as much effort into the Mustang as Dodge did with the Challenger Demon. Drag racing's not my cup of tea but a factory drag special as a road car equals commitment.

I know nothing about racing but clearly they opened up so the GT could win

Rip Ford program we’re going to miss them

That Ford gt is the best car

1:20 Arguable the most wild sports car up the mountain is tied between every school bus that has every carried 60 Sydney school kids ever. Pretty sure the lap time was ~8 mins...

It's a shelby gt 350, listen to that 5.2 flatplane crack engine. They are high pitched V8s

Great though !

And whats the laptime???? Average cut

The GT didn't take the kink on the straight flat?! Wut

The gt40 was sandbagging

Pretty stupid to kill off the Falcon. Why can't they move the factory to America? Plenty of Americans have always wanted to get there hands on a Falcon.

so they won't race the falcon next year?

Cute.

Obviously it's worked out through many trials, but still great to watch, despite the fact that a street legal car is (IN THE RIGHT HANDS/DRIVER) only 10 second's, that's Ten second's, or for our Roman viewers X second's Greek viewers I second's. Indian numerals Added in the edit Very interesting to look at how many variations, except for a particular numeral. 00 0 ⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰ (Look em up)

Gt kicked ass

That gt is so bouncy, wouldn't want to do the 1000 in that lol

Now Ford should relaunch the XY GT . I'd buy the first one.

the Ford GT was sandbagging after it started catching the other cars after about 30 seconds of driving. Fairly obvious .

"Look how stiff that car is" yeah so am I looking at it...

Handed Over the reins

The closest production cars of today racing are the HQ's .

Now bring back Godzilla.

I was there

bring back the Ford Cortina GT... it would've smashed these guzzlers.... with a bit of a head start of course.

Check out the 20 min version of them around bathurst kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hqiDZriVnt7Rk4E.html

'The most famous piece of turf in Australian motor racing, Conrod straight.' Not a blade of grass to be seen. That is right up there with the start of the the Sydney to Hobart where the commentator pronounced that Wild Oats XI, a sailboat, was 'steaming ahead'. Call me pedantic but you know... you should get your shit together as a commentator.

fastest GT3 race lap from the 2018 Bathurst 12 hours "Fastest race lap: 2:01.9575" the GTE is a good 5 seconds if not more faster on this track. So this is staged and therefore, boring.

I love Ford but I hate the GT. How they sandbagged 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring just to throw off their competition for the 24 Hours of Le Mans was a sickening thing to do. Worse was the ACO playing along. And even worse than that was the Ford Racing whining about a pointless pole position light on the Risi car to try and get them penalized so they could have their ideal finish. The very second I heard Ford was going to Le Mans I was so excited at the chance of a Chevy/Ford duel in the world's greatest race, but instead they cheated then acted like a bunch of babies. I'll never like that car. I wish they fielded Mustang GT350s instead.

And we need a ford nascar

Looks like the Ford GT could have caught both the other car by half way. It made up all the distance in the last km.

I wanted someone to do the jump :/

what a sad day..

TOOOOOOOOOO!

What part of "speed comparison" do people not understand? No matter if it's staged or not it's still a speed comparison.

The king of Ford on the Mountain is and always will be Alan Moffat. The King of the Mountain is and always will be .... Brockie!!!!

Subtitles at @1:45 are concerning...
