this isn't standard they had sequential gearboxes when the VE chassis came out. Someo0ne has retro fitted a dog box into the chassis.

This track is not suited for this.

Amazing! I had the sound turned way up for this one! It's awesome when the proper turn exit strategy is to squeeze the power on until the tires start spinning, counter steer, and hold it until you're flat on the floor!

Not much of a race, more like you and maybe one other guy trying to keep up.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING CAR AND TRACK !!!!! Aussies just get it.

That must be todd kellys #22 HRT VE from '07

Excellent.

Makes we wish I was still racing! Perfect heel & toe blipping the throttle on downshifts, something that you just don’t hear very often now. Did that when I raced at Kyalami F1 circuit in the ‘70s, and have always done it driving my road cars. It makes downshifts so smooth as you can ‘dump’ the clutch without the read or front locking up momentarily. I cringe hearing downshifts not using this technique anymore.

Yeah it sounds great I like the sound to

😍😍😍😍😍😍 what a beast

Philip island Circuit in Australia Melbourne its the host of the Motorcycle Grand Prix

Nothing better than a big block chevy inches behind your head

Nice vid! But just a side note: my neck is in pain, trying to force the view / camera up! 😂

Your barking mad😅

This car looks absoutely fantastic fun to drive if you know what youre doing. It seems so planted, it must be fun extracting everything out of it

I absolutely love the deep sub tone that these cars have at high rpm

H pattern Supercars was the best

If possible the camera should be near the front glass or outside, apart from that everything is so cool, im jealous !! LOL :D

why does the video end when it gets good

Love the down shifting sound :)

It was fantastic to see you on track in the M8E Harri. I was a part of the commentary team for the event that this video is from. I see the car is for sale, I hope it comes back to the Phillip Island Classic again. Absolutely loved it.

Top speed on the straight? Thanks

Bloody awesome, you did a good job taming it too!

Gorgeous! Makes it look like it's trapped on a go-kart track - it wants to be free! Lucky guy . I'm close to Road Atlanta, so have been going to vintage racing specifically to watch Group Seven cars since '82 during college. I was 6-8 years old, and only sixty miles away when they were really there. Couple years to retirement, and I'm going to scratch-build an M8-B tribute car. Here in the US, in a small town in GA, it's easily insured and tagged - not really interested in racing it, other than legal top-speed events. Slowly building my shop towards that day; Bridgeport and a lathe and every type of welder (not that they had many welds, other than subframes and suspension and roll hoops!); big air system, large powder-coating oven; working on larger sheet-forming equipment in the next year or so. I mean, it's '60s technology - perfect for a home-build a half-century later!

Enjoyed yesterday Harri, thanks for the chat. Whishing I was skinny enough to sit in that left seat with you.

Awesome footage!

A real V8 Supercar. Not the current control chassis shitboxes we have today

the turn 1 at 200km/hr. I could do 130 max in my little 86. wow...

M8s have to be the bargain of historic racing cars. They sell for around $500,000 US I think this one is currently for sale at $580,000 AU or something. Considering people are paying 1.2 million for historic Aussie race sedans M8 prices are amazing. Surely a much better investment.

So cool Harri! Bet ya you enjoyed pedalling this beast around one of best circuits in Australia!

Woww 👌🏻👌🏻

Excuse me if I'm wrong 🤦 Is that a H pattern box? 😳

What a Beautiful Porsche, Love it♥️🔥

made in flacht. 💕

MINT

What a skill for a driving a rare car, and I can't wait to see the paddle shifters being slapped in this year's gen 3! I'm Brazilian and I'm a HUGE fan of V8 Supercars

Whew, what sound! These CanAm cars were beasts. Thanks for the onboard!

What bike is that?

Why do they weld in that role bar right in front of his vision?!

RPM!

You left the guy next to you for DEAD. lol great start

Man what a smooth lap. Almost shed a tear at the end haha

😍🥰😇

That bit where it came at the camera in the end was kind of scary. I'm! Wake me up when the killing starts!

How did you buy this ex hrt car

American here…. Don’t the V8 super cars usually have a sequential gear box? Thanks!

My dream car. Well one of them. Nice driving too!

Its interesting watching the lat's g's being pulled. In 91's tests the gibson GTR pulled 1.7 max on bathurst, and VN commodore 1.4 g's. Your M3 spiked at 2 g's in some spots.
