The sweetest victory ever in the history of Bathurst. It'll never be repeated. Larrikin Larry Perkins is an absolute Legend. 💪💪💪

@lesflynn4455 2 жыл бұрын

There's no disputing a performance like that. Blow out on lap 1 of an iconic all-day race. Perkins, Ingall and team had to start over, which they did. Then they proceeded to slowly and methodically reel them all in. By driving flat out. All day. In my uneducated opinion, as I'm not familiar with every Bathurst 1000, It's the best performance ever at Mt Panorama. From the performance of Perkins and Ingall behind the wheel, to the awesome pit stops performed by the crew, to the engineering behind a car which held out to criminal abuse over 1000km. They drove that engine to 7500rpm all day, and it survived.

A testament to a great man who has changed the face of V8 supercars for the better. I remember watching also when I was 16 and It changed my carrer direction. The best thing was he built his own cars, with his own engines and drove hard enough to beat the best!

@formulafish1536 7 жыл бұрын

As he said in this video, he even built the brake calipers, and brake pads (with help from a Japanese brake producer for the pads). Larry is unarguably the best driver/team owner to ever race. He built his own car completely from scratch, with every part produced in his backyard shed. He built 49 chassis, for himself, and produced for many privateer teams. He raced in Formula One for 5 different teams, most notably Brabham. Not to mention he won Bathurst 6 times, and Sandown 3 times, and his team has one of the best finishing records in World motorsport. That's why we all love Larry

It must have been a huge day man. I'd never heard of Larry until he was PB's Co-driver. Your post made me google him, and he was 45 when he smashed that Bathurst race from start to finish. I'm no historian, but I've watched Bathurst races from the late 70's until recently. It's the best drive I've ever heard of on the mountain.

Larry Perkins is a legend, a genius engineer. I remember he built a Holden V8 for the race rather than use the Chevy supplied engines the rest of the Holdens used and he blitzed the qualifying, but I can't remember what eventually happened. I think he was no longer allowed to use it, hahaha. What a guy!

I bet Larry would have been an easy bloke to “snatch it” if you worked for him .... if he didn’t give you the “Tijuana” first. Great engineer but! Have a look at the map of Victoria in your Melways, go real left, towards South Australia .... there is nothing out there but dust ... on the Murrayville Highway, the Melways says “Cowangie - home of Larry Perkins”. In not even a town of two crows there’s a big sign with VR or VS in Castrol warpaint, “Cowangie - Home of Larry Perkins - Bathurst Winner”.

@paule4204 Жыл бұрын

No he used a 5L Holden engine that he homogulated a block with more metal in certain locations and improved the heads. Did it all in the Holden factory so it was technically legal. He also was using the slide air valve instead of butterfly inlet valves. His engine had more power than everyone else, that's why he had a higher speed on Conrad straight. Nothing to do with a 6L. In fact larry was one of the last using the Aussie 5L while the others were using 5L Chevy engines, before they changed the rules to make him use the Chevy engine. The reality of this win was due to larry making a break calliper that was wider enough to hold a pad that would last all of Bathurst, he got a company to make pads that were about 10mm thicker. Changing pads use to take about 3 minutes so Larry effectively got back his lap by not changing pads. The amount of times you made this comment in multiple places suggest you are a disgruntled Ford or seaton fan.

@@michaelgiglio1571 No he never did. You are making up nonsense. Here is an extract from a website, note that his engines were inspected. I use to watch V8 superstars and Larry never said this. The best example of this is Larry Perkins Bathurst winning 304 back in the '90s. Everyone whinged about how Larry's engine was heaps faster up the hill and he must have been cheating. When the powers that be pulled his engine down all they found were intake port fillers, designed to reduce the intake port volume in order to increase air speed and therefore torque. This is why his car was faster up the hill, but the same as everyone elses coming down.
