We’re now 3 seconds a lap quicker, but to to be the first 2.06 lap was pretty awesome. And on a side note, Australia was the first (invented) the in car camera shots 👍🏻
1979 I think.... Although a vehicle-mounted 16mm motion picture camera was used as early as 1973, the technology was first developed in the late 1970s by the Seven Network in Australia, who introduced it for the 1979 Hardie-Ferodo 1000 endurance race at Mount Panorama in Bathurst, New South Wales with Sydney-based driver Peter Williamson able to give commentary from his Toyota Celica.[1] RaceCam in Australia was unique in that the drivers were often wired for sound and able to converse with the television commentary team during races with top touring car drivers such as Dick Johnson, Allan Grice, Peter Brock and later Glenn Seton, Jim Richards, Mark Skaife, Wayne Gardner and Channel Seven's own commentator turned racer Neil Crompton all becoming regular users of the system. RaceCam (with drivers doing their own commentary) became a staple of Seven's Australian Touring Car Championship and Bathurst 1000 broadcasts during the 1980s and 1990s.[2]

Check out Larry Perkins last to first Bathurst . Larry was and still is a brilliant race driver as well as a brilliant engineer and gentleman . As a privateer he had to develop his own cars , he was so good at it some of his development and ideas were banned as the other teams could not keep up , all of the development was within the rules at the time

Hi Kev, I'm so glad to see that you are enjoying our major sporting events. As you rightly pointed out that this weekend is the NRL GF. Next weekend we have the Bathurst 1000 or as it is known as the great race. And early next year, we have the Bathurst 12 hour race featuring GT3 cars. That is definitely worth a look.
That's a different class of car. The first is V8 supercas. Gm vs Fords. Up until recently it was Australian made Gm Holdens vs Australian made Fords. But now it's American made GM vs Fords. It's lost a little bit of it's home grown pride.
Thing to remember is Murph's 2.06 lap was 21 years ago with a production car and stick shift. Today in 2024 best-lap time is 2.04. Take a bow Mister bloody Murphy! You're a legend!
Hi Kev, loving you videos about Bathurst mate. If you thing that Mt Panorama is crazy now, I'd recommend checking out some of the old footage from the 80's. And to recommend one in particular would be "Bathurst 83 - Dick Johnson's qualifying crash "Hardie's Heros" This incident is now folklore in Bathurst history and really shows just how crazy this circuit used to be.
My uncles raced motorbikes at Bathurst and Oran Park. My grandfather modified the bikes for them. When they added concrete barriers to the track it was deemed to dangerous for motorbikes so they had to move to other venues.
This is the old style cars based on actual road car sedan bodies with the h pattern box and all. They're now transaxle sequential boxes and purpose built race cars based on coupes (mustangs and camaros) as ford and holden don't exist as australian manufacturer's anymore. Hopefully you can get onto the coverage this weekend and can get out here for the end of September and start of October for both GFs and Bathurst and if you can swing it a run up to the Gold Coast street circuit. Fun thing you might enjoy is that the V8 used to be a support category for Indy car racing on the Gold Coast.
The time difference is because different class of vechiles The one murphy drive is based on 4 door street car by regulation Then modify under strict rules of modification Where the 2nd car is designed for racing and there for have less restrictions on modification So why you get the difference also hughe ammount of new technology in second vechile I think it might be running paddle shifting for gear change from memory so hands never come off the wheel Murphy's car is a vechile you could buy from show for every day use then modify under race rules So one of the biggest down falls in this is the flex in body un extreme pressure in cornering They try to stiffen bodies as much as they can with roll cages but they're still mounted to a flexible body frame Where's the second one designed for racing and those areas are beeft up by factory even though sold to public Which give solid foundation for roll cage to stiffen up car more and easier to set up with less comprimise Same with brakes and tyre packages the Murphy's one has half the brake and tyre package by design from manufacturer and race organisers rules Its why when overseas drivers used to struggle and find it more challenging to race our cars the same horsepower But lot less brakes and tyres which means you have to drive the car withnsome reserveand look after the vechiles to get the best out of them You have about 1000 hrp under foot 9 to 10 inch brake rotors and about 10 inch tyres width This is why it attracts many overseas driver's due to the challenges to the driver from the vechiles and you do it right get similar time's But quite the same but it all relies on drivers skills rather then just the best car Many have won races with not the best car but by strategy and drivers skills on looking after the vechiles to the end Our vechiles where as much a challenge as track and fitness Thats why they band 4x4 cars like skyline and ford sierra they where 4x4 6 and 4 cyclinders with turbo and designed for racing Which beat super cars and why rules where changed as not even playing field To race a super car it has to be manufactured for public family use There used to race Nissan Volvo which was turbo but family format and they had variable success and more even playing ground There's many formats can go faster around the track but are design race car with very little to no compromise in handling power or braking tyres Its why called laps of the gods as with the limited technology compared to these later vechiles and millions of dollars in technology They haven't got alot faster But the biggest difference is the modern one will do those times repeatedly during race from the technology Where's murphy vechile you'd be pushing the vechile to get 2 to 3 laps in total out of vechile as harsher on everything due to restrictions Also i think from memory there's a maximum speed restriction on all of them by race body for safety reasons This way it put the focus back on technology handling suspension braking and driver skill economy rather then who has the fastest vechiles Part of the trade of in the tace is gear ratios high fast in straights slow through corners and take offs To low fast in those but slow in straights So you need to comprise on both to get the best from vechiles and every team has their strategy on whats the best way to set vechiles up You need to look and watch road courses they race on Adelaide where im from have one and always event full and drivers say a very technical track they race on known as concrect canon as all concrete walls blind corner narrow track There's alot of driver's say its their favourite track as it challenges them especially the heat Some have had to stop pull in pits due to heat exhaustion and teams literally have to lift drivers out vechiles carry them into shed This is why we developed cold suits and over the year technology got better they use dry ice in a box that the drive plugs into and they have a vest on with tubing running through them for the cool air from dry ice We had several drivers die in accidents and the corner believe its due to heat and it effects driver minds to operate vechiles Then due to lack of fluid there's little around the brain and organs so in a accident they bounce around in the body doing irreparable damage to organs and brain Its why you see they have drinking hose in front of Helmets and during pits they fill them up on outside to keep them hydrated Some team managers have to remind the drivers to drink as so focused they forget to drink This is why they have driver change during longer races Driver's can lose quarter of their weight in a race day The vechiles can be 60 + degrees inside and get so hot drivers feet blister from the hot floors or pedals on hot days Same with hands they can blister up from so many gear changes even with gloves on Some of the unique things drivers have to deal with But you should watch road course's Adelaide Queensland and Victoria Adelaide and Queensland are city races with concrete walls Thought you might like some more information you wont get online only by watching Its why they called brock king of the mountain they had nothing no fluids cool suits and originally do full race start to finish He won the most Bathurst races and you should look him up for yourself Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍
The gearbox was manual back then. It is sequential now, but Supercars rejected steering wheel paddles, so they still have to reach for the gearstick. Supercars are down to 2.03 lap times, and I would not be surprised to see sub 2.03 this year.
I have a 2005 VZ Calais V6 and i have paddle shifters. Was a little weird at first as I have always driven manuals but I love them. When I go home to country SA i know where i can be a little naughty and pretend to be a racing car driver (missed my calling as i am now 50) it is insane how different it is to a stick. Wish there was still Holdens. 🤫😉
Some trivia for you it took 7 years for somebody to beat that time of Murphy, older V8 supercars used H pattern shift, new gen supercars uses sequential shift. Supercars are normally quicker up and down the straights but the GT3 cars have lots more down force so they are a lot quicker through the corner and across the mountain. Also that AMG that set the record wasn't a normal GT3 race it was modified had more power and downforce then a normal GT3 car.
I’ve been lucky enough to experience hot laps around Mt Panorama, definitely an experience I will never forget. Pretty sure it only happens once a year, usually towards the end of November and run by a business called Adrenaline.
You really want to watch some about the EARLY DAYS... they drove to the track, or trailered the car. They changed wheels using an old steering wheel welded to a bar to spin wheel nuts. Low budget, massive kahunas.
Just so you understand why there's such a gap in the two times, Greg Murphy's lap record was in 2003 while Jules Gounon's time was only in February this year.
You were busy talking to the camera as Murph drove back into pit lane & you missed a key point - all his competitors coming out of their garages & applauding him. Never been done before or since. Phenomenal lap to be over a second clear of top, top level competition.
Gday Kev, just thought I would let you know, the NRL grand final time is different to the AFL. I’m in Adelaide and I believe we are exactly 12 hours ahead of you. NRL grand final is 7pm Adelaide time on Sunday evening, therefore 7am Sunday morning your time. 👍
There a time a few years ago they had Vodafone F1 team came to Bathurst and they put their car on the track for the fans to see. Of course the F1 car has been the fastest car ever to do a lap here.
This is something cool they do now and then on Bathurst weekend. It's a speed comparison, between the "basic" road version, a souped up road car (or a touring car from the 1980s), then a V8 Supercar. They handicap them to try and get them to cross the finish line at the same time. This one, from my memory, is the closed the got it. th-cam.com/video/cQFRnUx7srM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QI4JFQEXplcy5iFr

NRL Grand final AEST 6:30 pm Pre-Game Entertainment Commences - headlined by The Kid LAROI 7:30 pm Kick off: NRL Telstra Premiership Grand Final - Melbourne Storm v Penrith Panthers
The former Holdens and Ford V8 SUPER CARS also did 300km down Conrod Straight. But there is a fair difference between the those V8 Super Cars and GT3 race car which the second clip was.
Bathurst 1000 the longest car race event in the world that's 1000 kilometres that's equivalent driving from the city of Melbourne to the city of Newcastle Australia's third oldest city behind Hobart Tasmanian that is the total of 10 hours
Definitely not the longest by a long way, not even the longest in Australia. In the 2023 Bathurst 12 Hour they completed 323 laps, double the amount of laps in the 1000 and that’s not counting the multiple 24 hour races that happen around the world.
The old track was very different to this sanatised and homogenised current version. Every time they resurface the track they make it safer , easier and more like a purpose built race track. They have filled in " The Dipper " so now it is just a dip, and not the wild amusement ride it used to be......and probably a front suspension killer as well. The best finnish ever was a young Craig Lowndes trying to pass John Bowe for the win in the wet.......Lowndes all out attack and car control made Bowe dig deep into his own skill levels and experience......the last 10 laps was and still is motor racing at it's finest. Available on 2 videos at U Tube, the highlights 1994 Bathurst ( Tooheys ) 1000.....both videos condense the almost 7 hours of racing to just over an hour, but it is only the last 10 laps ( about 25 minutes ) that you might really want to watch. Incidentally, Lowndes was not supposed to be racing.....was just a young development driver filling in for an international superstar who could not get to Australia to take the contracted drive.
the current race record for supercars is 2:04:7602 and in qualifying 2:03:5592. but these records are in the newer cars not the Commodore era. Jensen Button went quicker 1:48 something in a McLaren f1 car
Hey hey it's ya Goofy m8te from Australia..I don't watch it anymore No HOLDENS at Bathurst anymore.just all American cars now..they might as well make the circuit oval...lol...ya Goofy m8te from Australia
Well ahead as it was in years as the 2nd vid is years after Murphys Lap also 2 different cars serries etc bugger all downforce and tyre on Murphs supercar compared to the GT Mercedes
BATHURST SOON!!! Thu, 10 Oct 2024 - Sun, 13 Oct 2024 (be Wed to Sat basically for you). And its now basically GM USA vs Ford USA, Camaros vs Mustangs, easy to pick a side.. (Holden was a GM company, so you are either GM or Ford)
You need to find some old footage when the camera positions were much better and showed the sideways drift across the mountain and the tyres off the ground in the dipper.
The AMG GT3 is a very different car...thats almost like a formula one car. The V8 supercars are homologated and limited in hp and many other things to keep it close racing
Difference is murphs was over 15 years ago should compare Chaz mosterts to gounons more comparable to the quickest supercars now mosterts car from 2 years ago was a rocket ship
It’s a double H pattern box for 6 gears massive skill… new records use no skill straight shift like a motorcycle gearbox.. with electric cuts to let gears in.. unlike him full shill on the clutch and gearbox
umm how could he possibly know the critical points ,when he;s not Aussie and from the other side of the world and watching snippets for only the 3rd time , ill wait
Can't stay up for sport ? Whimp ! NFL is now being screened here in Oz. 2 consecutive games from 3a.m. to 10a.m. ......... Don't take it personally (the whimp comment is with a smile)

Did you know that the first dash cam in racing was done at the Bashurst 1000 "The first “live” in-car camera coverage was delivered in 1979"
Peter Brock photo bombed that
Did they do the first "lipstick" camera too?
There us an old clip where Peter Brock chats with the commentators during a race. He gives a run down of a whole kap... Brockie was/is a legend.

Murphy's car is a vechile you could buy from show for every day use then modify under race rules
So one of the biggest down falls in this is the flex in body un extreme pressure in cornering
They try to stiffen bodies as much as they can with roll cages but they're still mounted to a flexible body frame
Where's the second one designed for racing and those areas are beeft up by factory even though sold to public
Which give solid foundation for roll cage to stiffen up car more and easier to set up with less comprimise
Same with brakes and tyre packages the Murphy's one has half the brake and tyre package by design from manufacturer and race organisers rules
Its why when overseas drivers used to struggle and find it more challenging to race our cars the same horsepower
But lot less brakes and tyres which means you have to drive the car withnsome reserveand look after the vechiles to get the best out of them
You have about 1000 hrp under foot 9 to 10 inch brake rotors and about 10 inch tyres width
This is why it attracts many overseas driver's due to the challenges to the driver from the vechiles and you do it right get similar time's
But quite the same but it all relies on drivers skills rather then just the best car
Many have won races with not the best car but by strategy and drivers skills on looking after the vechiles to the end
Our vechiles where as much a challenge as track and fitness
Thats why they band 4x4 cars like skyline and ford sierra they where 4x4 6 and 4 cyclinders with turbo and designed for racing
Which beat super cars and why rules where changed as not even playing field
To race a super car it has to be manufactured for public family use
There used to race Nissan Volvo which was turbo but family format and they had variable success and more even playing ground
There's many formats can go faster around the track but are design race car with very little to no compromise in handling power or braking tyres
Its why called laps of the gods as with the limited technology compared to these later vechiles and millions of dollars in technology
They haven't got alot faster
But the biggest difference is the modern one will do those times repeatedly during race from the technology
Where's murphy vechile you'd be pushing the vechile to get 2 to 3 laps in total out of vechile as harsher on everything due to restrictions
Also i think from memory there's a maximum speed restriction on all of them by race body for safety reasons
This way it put the focus back on technology handling suspension braking and driver skill economy rather then who has the fastest vechiles
Part of the trade of in the tace is gear ratios high fast in straights slow through corners and take offs
To low fast in those but slow in straights
So you need to comprise on both to get the best from vechiles and every team has their strategy on whats the best way to set vechiles up
You need to look and watch road courses they race on Adelaide where im from have one and always event full and drivers say a very technical track they race on known as concrect canon as all concrete walls blind corner narrow track
There's alot of driver's say its their favourite track as it challenges them especially the heat
Some have had to stop pull in pits due to heat exhaustion and teams literally have to lift drivers out vechiles carry them into shed
This is why we developed cold suits and over the year technology got better they use dry ice in a box that the drive plugs into and they have a vest on with tubing running through them for the cool air from dry ice
We had several drivers die in accidents and the corner believe its due to heat and it effects driver minds to operate vechiles
Then due to lack of fluid there's little around the brain and organs so in a accident they bounce around in the body doing irreparable damage to organs and brain
Its why you see they have drinking hose in front of Helmets and during pits they fill them up on outside to keep them hydrated
Some team managers have to remind the drivers to drink as so focused they forget to drink
This is why they have driver change during longer races
Driver's can lose quarter of their weight in a race day
The vechiles can be 60 + degrees inside and get so hot drivers feet blister from the hot floors or pedals on hot days
Same with hands they can blister up from so many gear changes even with gloves on
Some of the unique things drivers have to deal with

They have filled in " The Dipper " so now it is just a dip, and not the wild amusement ride it used to be......and probably a front suspension killer as well.
The best finnish ever was a young Craig Lowndes trying to pass John Bowe for the win in the wet.......Lowndes all out attack and car control made Bowe dig deep into his own skill levels and experience......the last 10 laps was and still is motor racing at it's finest.
Available on 2 videos at U Tube, the highlights 1994 Bathurst ( Tooheys ) 1000.....both videos condense the almost 7 hours of racing to just over an hour, but it is only the last 10 laps ( about 25 minutes ) that you might really want to watch.
Incidentally, Lowndes was not supposed to be racing.....was just a young development driver filling in for an international superstar who could not get to Australia to take the contracted drive.
Just so you know Murphy is a Kiwi.
Just check your split times again my man.
Take away one second. 👍
the current race record for supercars is 2:04:7602 and in qualifying 2:03:5592. but these records are in the newer cars not the Commodore era. Jensen Button went quicker 1:48 something in a McLaren f1 car
I think we have created and converted a Canadian to be an Aussie and wants to be here. 😎
Going for Syd. in AFL and Melb. in NRL lol the irony.

And its now basically GM USA vs Ford USA, Camaros vs Mustangs, easy to pick a side.. (Holden was a GM company, so you are either GM or Ford)

You need to find some old footage when the camera positions were much better and showed the sideways drift across the mountain and the tyres off the ground in the dipper.
th-cam.com/video/xsOsYEFx_AM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Oxd3SO2LQfQ7wmS7 this is a link to people walking the Bathurst course.
You need to check Scott McLaughlin record lap....
The AMG GT3 is a very different car...thats almost like a formula one car. The V8 supercars are homologated and limited in hp and many other things to keep it close racing
Difference is murphs was over 15 years ago should compare Chaz mosterts to gounons more comparable to the quickest supercars now mosterts car from 2 years ago was a rocket ship
It’s a double H pattern box for 6 gears massive skill… new records use no skill straight shift like a motorcycle gearbox.. with electric cuts to let gears in.. unlike him full shill on the clutch and gearbox
Now your talking Bathurst
oops sorry next weekend
You looked away at every critical point.....👀
umm how could he possibly know the critical points ,when he;s not Aussie and from the other side of the world and watching snippets for only the 3rd time , ill wait
