Welcome to another Race Car Feature on this channel.
A few weeks ago I was at Hampton Downs Motorsport Park for the Racing Season Finale.
In the last video from Day 1, I featured the all-new 1969 Mustang driven by Paul Clarke in the Central Muscle Cars Racing Series.
On Day 2 we witness the incredible feats of this racing-oriented, totally hardcore C5 Corvette with mad aero built at Brennan Motorsport and driven by Grant Brennan, here competing in the "Super V8" Racing Series and together with two 2 classes, "TA2 NZ" & "V8 Utes".
This season has being difficult for the Brennan Team, with a few gremlins to sort out between Rounds. Today we find the perfect conditions to see and hear the full potential of this incredible race car. Enjoy this special feature with Race 1 and Race 2, both starting on a Rolling Start basis.
Brennan Motorsport wishes to thank:

Neil from Geartronics UK

BMRS - USA

You can't have everything and there's always a compromise to be had, in this case I'd rather have a usable cammed LS or similar in a street Z06 and then a Vette racecar for track use only.

Really great onboard footage ❤️🙏 But me being NOT a race car driver I do have a probably „dumb“ question: Why is Grant kind of „pumping the brakes“? 🤷🏻‍♂️ (At least it looks like it to me 🥴) And is there a special reason why he chose to have the up- and down-shifts on the same pedal? (Which I think is not bad at all, tbh I think that‘s really smart 👍) Thanks for the great video, I really appreciate it and all the best from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋 EDIT: And I do apologize in advance for my nonexistent English „skills“ 🫣🥴

@racecars.universe Ай бұрын

Hey Philipp, you're a legend, thanks for your comment. 1) pumping the brakes is quite common in racing. Sometimes a pad pushes the brake pistons back enough so that when you go braking it takes longer distance to push the pedal. 2) up and down shifts on the same paddle shifter is inspired to karts, a very common feature on those vehicles.

V8 Supercars is a purely Australian championship that started back in the 70s, whereas this Super V8 series is NZ based and seems to be a bit more recent than that. V8 supercars also has purely just 4 door sedans from production models while this NZ Super V8 is more open to other formats / models / builds

@@racecars.universe ⁠ ohh okay interesting thank you. I have one more question if you don’t mind, which one is faster between super v8 and v8 supercars?? because this corvette having 857hp and 10000rpm is pretty crazy 🤯 and has a lot of aero with the splitter, canards and diffuser etc..i would imagine the super v8 car would be faster, well this corvette forsure.

@racecars.universe Ай бұрын

I wouldn't be too sure of that actually, V8 Supercars have larger budgets and the backing of OEM constructors. That allows for extremely fine tuning and better parts e.g. magnesium/titanium and alloys. Not to mention the Team behind it too. I'd say V8 Supercars are tougher and perhaps faster but the Brennan C5 Corvette defends itself pretty fairly.

300Km/hr is not 200M/hr, its about 186MPH.

As stated on other comments as well, I put it there more as a figure of speech rather than a precise conversion with decimal places too. We also do not know the actual top speed figures of this car

The guy in the yellow corvette has a better line than you did. High in low out, that first corner after the finish line you stayed more in the middle and he hugged the wall on his driver side and ran it in harder to that corner. Races are won in the corners, nice ride.

Please remember that, as stated in the video, the Brennan Team is still testing things out. The yellow Corvette is also packing a Toyota Nascar engine.

exactly right - we were having some issues with the car with tyres and trying to get them to work - too hard a compound and gearbox shifting issues

How much does it weigh?

That's a parameter that wasn't shared with me unfortunately. I'm speculating anything around the 1200-1400kg mark or 3000lbs

I agree with both of your statements. As I explain at the end of the vehicle presentation part of the video, they had troubles for the whole season, while this specific race meeting got them the best result to date.

@@racecars.universe I’m sure they’ll get it sorted, the team seems more than competent. That series seems like a blast, high hp/downforce no tc/abs.

@C42ST3N Ай бұрын

My guess is that the gcu is not allowing the down shift as the engine would rev to high and he simply shifts to early because it is basically happening only on high revs.

@LorraineBrennan-ku7dk Ай бұрын

For the record - a selector bush for the 2 lower gears wasnt allowing the downshift - the bush had become dislodged and was acting as a wedge - would go up gear no problem but down it was wedging - slight design fault that we have remedied. Very observant of you though

300 kmh is not 200 mph. It's 186. That's why a lot of our speed metrics over here go by 0 to 62 mph since 62 is the same as 100 kmh.

it seems to me as you guys would be in need of a proper/skillfull driver that can actually push the machine - just by looking at it i can see so more potential..
