H-Pattern V8 Supercar // Onboard at Phillip Island [HD]

Ride onboard with Harri Jones in the 2007 HRT VE Commodore around Phillip Island! Shot during the 2021 Phillip Island Classic. Personally, this was an incredibly fun car to drive. Not many cars make a better tone, and we were running standard 98 fuel so it even spat flames!!
Flat shifting through the box took me a while to get used to, so please forgive my multitude of errors ;)
I hope you all enjoy, please like/subscribe and let me know in the comments if you want to see more!

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

[@HarriJones]

Thanks mate!! Supercars are fantastic :D

[@zoltrix7779]

Paddle shifters have finally been ruled out for the Gen 3 supercar.

@@zoltrix7779 WHAT THE HECK DID V8 SUPERCARS DO! This isn't right! But the mustangs should stick out the gear lever

Nice one mate!

[@HarriJones]

Thank you!

[@Bartman954]

Nice stuff Harri! Who owns the car now? Also, ever tried to the left foot brake technique sorta what Greg Murphy, Fabian Coulthard and Steve Johnson do/did in their time in Supercars? (Personally I left foot braked while testing at Winton a few years ago in an ex-BJR Falcon)

[@Spyker8921]

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

How did you buy this ex hrt car

[@luxuriousmindset1906]

Hey how are you able to switch gears without clutch?

[@HarriJones]

Hey mate, the car has a motorsport gearbox which uses dog rings instead of synchros which you would find in your road car. This means we can shift without a clutch as long as we take load of the gearbox (either by lifting out of the throttle, or in this case the car has a strain gauge which cuts ignition for a fraction of a second to allow the gear to slip in). I hope this makes sense :)

[@Tron_Funkin_Blow]

Science and shit bro...

[@chicky260293]

Fantastic video! Clutch in between 2&3 though?
