Plus with that pace too!

I think it’s super cool that the commentators are able to just patch into the team radio and just talk to the drivers you don’t really see that anymore nowadays

Heel toe rev matching downshifting while flying down the Esses AND passing a car before the elbow all while calmly telling the comentators about his car and joking about bringing out a yellow.... The greatest racing moment I've ever seen.

Isn't that crazy!?! I was thinking let the guy drive man!

I was thinking the exact same thing. Excellent to actually see that.

Production Based racing, the body shells maybe based off road cars

1993 was the last 308 to race in the top teams and yes Perkins was the winner!! So after 93 they dropped the Group A rules and no longer ran production cars, and banned the 308

Larry was the very last to run the 308 everyone else had the new chevy motor

Actually they reduced the 308 to about 305 because 4995 cc from memory. The 308 was slight above 5 litres. I dont remember what year probably 85. Larry made quite a passionate speech about how good the basic engine was when he won Bathurst in 1993. Remember it was the L34 engine block with 4 bolt main bearings.

@@broadytaylor9493 I remember being involved with many others building the Tirana ( its an o I know , the spell checker is overriding me). The VN’s & VP bodies were initially built on line but to much automatic equipment had to be turned off so they just gave teams a pile of bits to build there own cars from about 93.

Yeah, Seton was always the guy that had back luck

How often did setons awesomeness get crushed by us💪 Fucking champion

I vaguely remember Seton getting the fastest speed down Conrod @ 302km/h… I remember that being a moment

Nah, he drove a Ford, he knew the risks.

@@harrisionstan3773 lol

Alan Jones Bloody old fart🤣🤣

Well said. Totally agree 👍

Despite any consideration for how the woman referred to as Russell's girlfriend might feel about being joked about as a thing, a possession. Ye Na It's ok she's hot.

@@howarduno1652 fuck outa here with your dumb politics.

@@howarduno1652 He said he'd "prefer". There's no objectification implied. Also the absurdity of this is why it's a funny joke. So chill out bruz, no one needs you to police morality on KZfaq

@@acedogboy8421 try forming a coherent sentence arse dogtoy

@@snowman01 morality pig? simply stating how it could be perceived. For instance, snowman could imply; you're cool, or frigid, or tiny in a humiliating way, or could be advertising that you're a coke dealer, or yu just can't think of an interesting name, you know it's all about perception.

It was a different world back then, best time ever.

Lowndes nearly matched it when he came 2nd to Tander after all the stacking, but he couldn't make the pass. That was a monster comeback, but just short. Mostert and Morris was great too.

Larry was running a Holden V8 made in Melbourne, the rest of the Holdens were running chev engines, they banned the Holden V8 as an unfair advantage after this!

So true!

@@Grooove_e lol what???

@@Grooove_e ah ok

@@Grooove_e thats just a normal youtube glitch, i get it all the time

Larrikin Larry. Top bloke. Brilliant engineer. Amazing driver. Storybook race totally deserved the win 🏆

2014

you forgot the big banger?

Smurfs Pepsi max car looked good on track

George fury's datsun

Oh yeah , won’t ever forget Murf and the vx !

Crystals it was awesome wasn’t it. Larry driving around, elbow up on the window sill like he’s cruising and talking to the commentators

I struggle to talk to my wife and drive on the motorway at the same time! I don't know how these guys do it!

that's freaking amazing! Im not sure if they should bring it back but if they did I wouldn't complain. Really a great way to get the fans immersed!

When I read this your voice went Waltrip.

They stopped that some years ago, it was entertaining but distracting for some drivers.

I love to see the results of a heart rate monitor hooked up to Lightning Laz. Barely above resting, no doubt.

3:30 looks like a Sunday cruise

Drinking tea with his pinkie finger stuck out, dunking biscuits. And winking at the camera

@@r3ap3r_snake both I reckon, as much as I love that win and still think its the best , ya gotta feel for Seton . He was nearly unbeatable that year if my memory is still intact

Ambrose would be a good wager there.

I thought they were all just as good as each other. Man and machine.

Maybe Scott Mclaughlin and Shane Van Gisbergen too but they can still win the race

Aussie Motorsport Royalty. Along with AJ, Doohan, Gardner etc. All great blokes too🤘🤘🤘

Same here, I was heart broken when they all came around and no Larry. To then go on and Win, not only a Great Driver, but a well build Racecar

Neil Hodgson did the same thing in superbike, late 90's or early 00's iirc. But he was riding so hard that when he eventually made it from last to first, he stayed in the zone and got a 30 second lead between him and the guy in second place 😵‍💫😄 It was phenomenal. I'd say that was the #1 moment for me, this is a close second!

I'm the same. Pure space frame built, dedicated track cars don't excite me at all. Part of the excitement was ordinary engineering thinkers, fabricators and mechanics coming up with solutions within the constraints of a production car. I would see the road-going version of those cars on my way to school and it was exciting to learn and think about how these teams turned ordinary cars into racing cars. Today's sport doesn't come close.

Im a Holden guy, much respect to you mate

280kph bros. Freaks

They absolutely had power steering in these cars

NASCAR had power steering in the early 80s. It wouldn't make sense that a later race car wouldn't have one, unless it's banned by the rules.

Larry has his drivers window down as well, I would be surprised if having one window down on the passenger side would affect the drag coefficient that much

on the last lap too.... honestly was confused watching this and thought he finished the race. mad lads

The regulations are what allow teams like BJR to beat teams like 888 and DJRTP

mudwhistle74 LP’s 1993 win was the last Bathurst run for the Holden V8. He was forced by the category to run Chev’s from early 1994 onward.

Stirling Moss & Jack Brabham?

The best my friend

It's a public road most of the year

D.B. I mean, you can't bend Carbon fibre like this anyway

D.B. Supercars Championship they just call for the gaffer tape to hold bodywork together and continue

Because hammer is a tool of a pikey.

Williams F1 could use a hammer every now and again, it’s the only language their car understands 😂

Imagine the outrage if someone did a burnout with their door half-open while exiting pit lane today
