In Australia a "stick shift" is called a manual
Unspoken rule in Australia, if you open the gate, shut the gate after you, the herd may wander of, really important!
Gates are marked in the roadbook and colour coded. If it's one colour you can leave it open, the other colour you have to close it.
Ian check out the Finke Desert Race, based out of Alice Springs in the red centre of Oz. Should be some great vids - it’s a pro race, for bikes and cars. I think the term we would use for most of the Utes racing is ‘Privateer’ - someone without much or any sponsorship.
Utes. Dont need to call them anything else.
Fourbies
@@DpMario11 some Fourbies are not utes and some utes are not fourbies.
Ute's are dead mate they're pickups now
@@frankdaddy66 I don’t know anyone in Australia that call them a Pick Up.
We in Australia call them junkaroos
We have lots of manual cars in Australia, I for one enjoy the experience
They sold the Jackaroo all over the world in America it was called the Isuzu Trooper. The Jackaroo in the video was probably a 3.5 ltr V6
you mean they called an isuzu bighorn all over the world with different names. Isuzu trooper, Acura SLX, Chevrolet Trooper, Subaru Bighorn, SsangYong Korando Family, Honda Horizon, Opel Monterey, Vauxhall Monterey, Holden Jackaroo, and Holden Monterey
caribe 442 and the mekong star as well
Yep, 3.5 litre V6. Pretty well worked and puts out some decent HP. Just needs the sequential box back in her! I love this truck, I just need to get it back out of the shed!
I was support crew for my son who was riding a KTM 450 in 2022 event.You saw the co-driver reading the " tulips" for the cars, the bike riders have to do it by themselves and compete on the same route as the cars. It was agreat experience with a friendly and welcoming mob of motorsport enthusiasts.
Check out the Finke Desert Rally. It is based out of Alice Springs to Finke then return
many years ago (late 1970's) I helped out on a massage control on the Sunraysia Desert Rally when it was run in the Hattah National Park. There was a problem with a motorcycle that hadn't turned up at our checkpoint so we went out to find it. It took a while but we finally found the bike and then we couldn't find the rider immediately. We found him wedged in to a bush and we didn't dare move him after we ascertained that he was alive. We got specialists to come and recover him and he was not too bad as it turned out. A very eventful day.
I'm a Sunraysia local, been here my whole life. I havnt watch the event for awhile but it is a good few of days, see some nice vehicles flyin around.
Love the Aussie layed back pace notes,Not quite as frantic as WRC😂
The Holden Jackaroo was/is an awesome, and hugely underated 4x4. If you really want one man. Try searching locally for an Isuzu Trooper !!! That's what they were brought into the US as. The navigation notes will seem strange to traditional car rally guys. As there are motorbikes racing this event. They use bike rally style roadbooks, with tulips for direction. Awesome event. Check out the Finke desert race. It's our biggest desert race.
They're a terrific car!!!
The Australian Rally Championship Final Round is this weekend in Canberra at Epic where Summernats happens.
The Jakaroo at the start is more likely a privatly entered car..ie....privatly/owner funded and run.....btw. in most other countries Holden Jakaroo is known as Isuzu Trooper
Definitely takes the cake for the course distance and would love to go in person one day. In the NT we have, some would argue, the toughest off road race in Australia. The Finke desert race. Just about every state in AUZ has one or more off-road racing events, along with burnouts, dragracing , motor X , bmx, Motor vehicle racing, go karts, etc.
Depends on what one defines as toughest, toughest on the cars or the teams or in general? NT being where the NT is I'd say is more harsh on teams than cars. The tracks all contain the same obstacles at some stage or another, it's more the climate taking a bigger toll
They usually start as a simple challenge.. "a race through the scrub from point A to point B", & they grow from there.. great fun, even if its at a local level. I think someone else already mentioned Finke Desert, thats where Id go next. Peace
I had a Triton as a work vehicle, really nice drive, not the best turning circle. Cool reaction mate. :)
If you want an extreme motorsport, check out the 4x4 winch challenge events, like wild dog winch challenge or the Australian outback challenge there so much fun and the week long events are so bloody hard with minimal sleep and epic off roading
Aussie Outback... pretty much looks like 'Terraformed Mars' might do in a few hundred to a thousand years from now
Sunraysia is a region located in northwestern Victoria and southwestern New South Wales The region is renowned for its sunshine, intensive horticulture including grapes and oranges. the town of Mildura is the main town there
It's also almost desert and is entirely irrigated by the Murray river, which originally was done with concrete channels...but recently the channels have been covered in and replaced with pipes. I believe the scheme was designed by an American way back when.
@@stevenbalekic5683 which ian incorrrectly refered to is as bush but its actully desert
@@stevenbalekic5683 Chaffey, wasn't it? Or Alfred Deakin? I've forgotten...been gone too long.
@@QuestionThingsUseLogic
I think it was Chaffey...Deakin was a politician I believe.
@@stevenbalekic5683 okay, thanks, so it was the Chaffey Brothers then.
Remote and in the middle of nowhere, indeed. I think suitable Aussie expressions you can also use to describe it are "off the beaten track", "back o' beyond", "back o' Bourke", and "beyond the black stump:"
It's not the middle of nowhere, but you can see the middle of nowhere from Sunraysia... ha ha.
Out in whoop whoop, is a commonly used phrase.
I love this man videos,please keep it up,no one can make a car video make it so fun,wish the best to you and ur family support from Italy
Sunraysia is a rice business and they have a slogan "we sell rice to the experts" meaning Japan.
They grow a lot of rice in western New South Wales and Australia is the biggest rice exporter in the world
Sunraysia is the region in North Western Victoria and South Western NSW. The Sunraysia brand, now known as Sunrice, was founded in the Riverina. As someone who has lived in Sunraysia, Mildura, for thirty years the amount of businesses that use Sunraysia in their name never fails to amuse. You can even buy Sunraysia rims for your car or trailer....
@@brookfredericks1984 Thanks for that I now feel a bit stupid
@@barryford1482 Just info mate, no need to feel stupid. 👍
Ian, Jackaroo was a badge engineered Isuzu Trooper with a pretty gutless 2.6L I4. Some 2.2Ds were sold here too I believe.
_Very few survive, they were pretty rubbish. The Mitsubishi Pajero just made it obsolete overnight._
Not sure if you've had a chance to look at the Finke Desert Race yet?
Red dust is called bull dust. It covers everything and gets in and out of the vehicles
& places on people, we dare not speak about.
And fills up potholes so you can’t see them. Nearly lost a mini minor down one when crossing the Nullarbor before the road was sealed
It seems more like the Dakar style of rallying than the WRC style, I liked it and will definitely be watching more on TH-cam.
We call those type of rally cars "Rally Raid" cars. Used in the Dakar rally as well as other desert or offroad rallying.
I love those type of rallying where there are stages over a longer period like the Dakar.
The rally seems to use Tulips for navigation rather than pace notes. Tulips are diagrams showing each major turn/junction, with the distances in between and any extra information to help the crew find their way.
Haha thats me on the quad, that was my first Sunraysia safari and my second rally race coming from a motocross/enduro background on mx and atv, trying to get over to dakar in 2025 🤘
Wentworth is a town on the NSW/Victorian border, close to the junction with SA, where our two biggest rivers meet - the Darling and the Murray - the Murray, being the border of NSW and Victoria, starting in the Snowies, at The Pilot and ending in SA at Goolwa ?
Sunraysia is an area that's on the Victorian side - probably the closest you can get to the Outback, in Victoria - north west corner.
I think the jackaroo had a 3.5 litre? Isuzu/GM V6 petrol. Your cover for the video, shows a vy/vz Holden Commodore ute.
One good option to watch are the Rally dos Sertões that are realized at Brazil. If you like the Australian rallies the Brazilian will be a good option. I hope you enjoy!!!
Most of the vehicles shown here race as Production 4WD’s and Extreme 4WD’s in the Australian Off-road Championship. They are built from road going cars. Not built from the ground up as purpose built race cars.
We do have Extreme 2WD’s which are the purpose built trophy trucks you are used to seeing in the states.
I rode in a Performance 2WD Nissan Navara twin turbo v6. The pace they can carry over bumps is unreal.
Checkout ‘Classes of Australian Off Road Racing’ part 1 and part 2 by a TH-cam channel called Cagetec Racing. I think you’d be a fan.
I live in Sunraysia. My dad used to race rally here. The scenery BTW is known as Mallee scrub, dry, dusty, hot.
That first car holden Jackaroo is a Japanese IZUZU Re badged as a Holden!
Congrates on 150 subs keep up the great work mate
I believe the phrase is "gentleman racers" 😂😂😂
it used to be called the australian safari and it was more like a dakar type race. it was held in different locations each year. seems like it's more rally and less offroad racing oriented these days.
you'd be surprised how many australian parts are in baja 1000 vahicles like albins, hollinger, proformance etc
The Sunraysia Rally is just for fun. they are Production cars that are modified and anyone can enter and have fun
The whistling makes me think it's a turbo v6 Jackaroo.
I guess the best way to describe this is like the Dakar but less popular.
Ian, you should check out the 1979 Round Australia Trial, officially the Repco Reliability Trial. This was the twelfth running of the Round Australia Trial and took place between 5 and 19 August 1979. The event covered 19,000 kilometres around Australia. It was won by Peter Brock, whom you of course are familiar with, Matt Philip and Noel Richards, driving a Holden Commodore. There are plenty of videos on TH-cam, if you are interested.
Good story! happy ending despite inaction from the massage team. That bush may have had somthing to do with it, lol👍
I am not sure if they still have rallies where they race old cars and the course is plotted and driven all without the modern, space age sat-nav and telemetry and radio, i.e., simple "paper" map and dead reckoning with the odd waypoint, but if they do then that's what I'd like to try. Rally driving is exhilarating and dangerous but the crews really are spoiled these days, and in some way some of the fun has been taken out of it.
Many (most) rally cars are street legal.
In fact, they drive open public roads between stages.
Yell out if you want more info on the event.
It’s in my “backyard” so to speak and I’ve volunteered, driven sweep, recovery and also helped set the course since its inception.
It also runs a day on my cousin’s property.
my stepdad is super into rally and has been pitcrew for a few private teams. now he volunteers for some of the events here in WA. usually held in the south, he goes into the forest to do the the road closures. (he also owned for a while an original group b audi rally car which was a MONSTER and was restoring it, but sadly it reached a point where the next stage of the restoration would cost to much so he sold it to a private museam in germany. having a ride in this is definately a highiight for a person like me who is also super into WRC.
These are just Aussie work trucks, rip the tool box off the back and go out and play in the outback for the weekend.
Put it back on Sunday night and back to work Monday.
The boss will never know. 😛😀
The Nissan Patrol is a GQ version from the 1980's.
check out the Finke Desert Race goes from fink to allice springs , in the NT , back in the day my uncle ran a bike team for it and we would run in his Landcruiser as a suport vehicle
Mate you need to check out the finke desert race!!
Another great vid, thanks. Something triggered me to have a look at your highest view count video types. And I noticed 1M views on one of them. Congrats.
Another event is the Finke Desert Race
Wouldn't mind a dakar rally in the new WRC game. Cheers for showing this gem 👏👍🦘🇦🇺
Hi Ian not sure in the States but here if a car isn't a factory backed car we lable them privateers. They race to a budget not always fully specced out like the top wrc & arc cars but rhey have a crack doing it 😀
Coming from a country were there's 150% tax on cars im a little jealous 😢
This is the first rally where I hear that co-driver is actually saying to the driver where he is supposed to go, so he is literally your minimap or radar like in games. 😀
If i ever win big money mate. That's a promise, you and your family WILL attend things like this live. ❤❤❤
I DO LIKE THIS TYPE OF CAR RACING OR BOAT RACING
Gravel is sooo much fun.
This rally is held on part of tapeo stationjust out of Mildura vic iv been to this many times
I live in Sunraysia! We are about 400ks from Melbourne (mildura, sunraysia) and about 600k from Melbourne so there is a lot of space for this kinda stuff here. Great vid mate :)
That was great to watch 👍🏻
Look up the Falcon RTV, it's a factory rally X style ute like the one in the thumbnail.
That sort of terrain would be broadly called scrub rather than bush. sparse small straggly trees and small bushes of the mallee eucalypts, so commonly called mallee scrub. Usually has sheep or cattle running in huge paddocks. Very cool terrain If your into that sort of thing. When you do head out here, your gonna want to borrow a ute and a swag n head out for a few days. Ideal Swag country if you dont require your mod cons for a day or so. a mozzie net, fire, n the stars.
Finke desert race is more your trophy truck/baja trucks
Haha.. Paddock Bashen 🤣🤘🤘
There once (perhaps still is) another rally such as this called the Salt Lake rally held in Victoria at the Hatta-Kalkyne National Park. There must be some film of it. I have some old Super-8 film of it that I took of my mate's father racing in 1979!
That is a Forrester . Cross tracks a e called XV. Until next year when it's a crosstrack or treck
Second vid,the triton, looks like modified street.
jackaroo is a young man working on a sheep or cattle station, to gain practical experience in the skills needed to become an owner, overseer.
Try the finx rally.
One of the fastest top speeds in the world.
Originally for motorcycles only.
Wild action 😂
these cars are like the old Bathurst they are real off the lot cars with aftermarket addons safety equipment like roll cage etc
it brings back the old saying Win on Sunday sell on Monday
Check out the Finke desert race, it started as a bet at a bar
What you call trucks we call utes. A truck is something that hauls goods all over the country 🚛Tritons are on the low end of quality and reliability here equal to dmax, Great Wall and ldv.
Are they actually called "roads"? Perfect for dirt bikes, golf carts, and slow tractors! 😂
with the fences &c; yes, this is all on cattle stations and farms. There's very little public land that's not the strips on the sides of roads or national parks you aren't allowed to drive on cos it's delicate environment.
@IWrocker thats not the bush thats the desert
Check out....Bruce In AUS...he finds trucks in yards that have been sitting for years and gets them running!
In Australia any vehicle with a tray in the back is called a ute
Yes, I drive a Triton, used as oversize Pilot car. see my little logo .
Out of nowhere mate, a checkout lady at Woolworths asked me over the weekend if I had ever heard of IWrocker on TH-cam. Of course I have, great channel I replied. Did you know you have the same colour blue eyes he does, she asked. I'm a male, so never thought about it was my answer. We both smiled. The start of a lovely new relationship because of you mate. Cheers. PS, ALL Subarus sound like that in Australia.
Jackaroo sounds like it be a V6
This is how Holden champion Peter Brock died, in a rally race.
holden Jackaroo is the Isuzu trooper and the mitsubishi triton is the mitsubishi L200 you have over there
Using manual transmission is pretty much prefered in racing and off road in Australia.
Awesome!
😎👍
hey mate first time viewing, if ya enjoyed this and havnt seen it yet i would considering checking out the FInke Desert race
We call them 4bees (4X4) utes
you need to watch the adelaide 500. its on this weekend in south Australia this sunday. forcast for rain. will be interesting
just a little back story peter brock race a jackaroo in a rally only mod was a roll cage and he averaged 120 mph for 600 mi;es or if your Australian 1000klm
it comes to me as part of the Dakar Rally, or its smaller relative
I'm an Aussie. I've never heard of the Sunraysia Safari Rally.
The Subaru Cross Trek I think is just being released. Prior to that it was the Subaru XV down here
Check out Toby Price, he races bikes a d a trophy truck in the Fink desert race and also does Baha and the others
I live 2 3/4 hours north of Melbourne in Cohuna on the border between Victoria and NSW.
If you head 3 1/2 hours west of me you will still be on the border of vic and NSW at Mildura/wentworth which is the Sunraysia district.
Keep driving west another 2 1/2 hours and you will finally get to the border between Victoria and SA….
Yet Victoria is one of the smaller states. 😂
Gives you some idea of how big Australia is from a driving perspective.
Holden jackaroo if it made it to the US, may have been the Isuzu trooper. Jackaroo is a male cattle hand and a jillaroo is a female cattle hand.
these were all street cars once. the modified utes are our aussie "pickup trucks" done up for our rallies
Now think how fast must a wrc co-pilot shoot out.
Take this European Baja 500. 2023
These are all factory 4x4,s with all the mods...
You guys have dirtfish rally would be interesting to see you driving much love from nz 😅😊
We still call those "trucks" utes, trophy trucks have completely different body style.
If you like this type of rally you should watch older films from the Paris - Dakar rally.
