F1 and Kimi: 'Excellent race Kimi, top 3. What did you think?' 'Eh, it was ok but we will see.' F1 and Jimmerz: 'Great race Jimmerz, you started P 18 and...' 'Well it all started in 1995 when....'
Until the mid 70s they did run open wheelers at the track until a dreadful accident where a car got airborne over one of the 'humps' going down conrod.
No the chase was added to comply with regulations for the World Touring car competition, which Bathurst became a round for in the late 80s. I think they also lowered one of the humps at the same time though which would have made life a little easier for open wheelers.
Correct. Well almost. Quarry is turn 6 just past where Dick Johnson hit the rock. You're talking about turn 5. Some call 5 & 6 quarry so you're not totally wrong. Quarry is also where many drivers mention going under the tree.
Wooooooooooooooow, you were on fire in this one! So many great overtakes & so much push, so exhiliaratingly quick in clean air! Just one small note: I have found that the realistic AI in R3E might actually be 107, not 105, at least that's the one that roughly matches leaderboard times for the M235i on Road America and the Salzburgring... So maybe the AI was a bit low, but hey - an average Joe like me cannot even beat the 105 AI this consistently on pace, let alone the 107 one. Great video.
I've literally just spent the last 5 or 6 hours racing F1 cars round Bathurst in the Nations Cup on Gran Turismo Sport, and TH-cam decided to recommend this video to me lol. Racing F1 cars around Bathurst is *REALLY* fun! You can proper chuck them around this circuit, especially the newer cars.
I am in a league on iRacing and we run everything around the mountain every fortnight. We have done from the Indy car to the Mazda to the NASCAR to the GT1s . Always great fun.
Australia has a new open wheel category called S5000 that will be starting soon with cars based on the old school Formula 5000 cars from the 70's but with a whopping great 5L V8. The cars will have moderate downforce levels to emphasize the drivers skills and modern safety features like the halo. If we are lucky in the next few years we can see these S5000 monsters racing around Bathurst in the days before the Bathurst 1000.
F1 cars have raced at Bathurst in the Australian Grand Prix in 1958. The race was run to Formula Libre and F1 cars were in it. The last time wings and slicks cars ran was F3 a few years ago.
The RaceRoom guys clearly have been fans and gamers since those days. I was browsing the RR store and noticed that many of the team names for these cars are the names that Geoff Crammond's Formula 1 Grand Prix used (as it had no licencing) such as McPherson-Alpha.
How in the name of god are you able to drive an an F1 car on a race at Bathurst, react to what happens around you, manually stift gears AND still comment what you`re doing all the time- I salute you👍🏻
not really a big deal but T2 is actually called Griffins Bend. Quarry is the T5-6 section of track after the Cutting. Loved the video regardless, as always
One of the main reasons for not being able to race is at the chase due to the speed it is common in V8 supercars for a crash in the dirt and because of the fact it's not level leading to the high possibility of flipping which will be extremely dangerous and expensive.
LOL I saw Formula 5000 race there in the 70's and they were crazy. The straight was also without the kink and I believe they were maxed out RPM wise for the last third of the straight.
Ferrari only semi auto in 1990. 1991 saw Williams bring there's out, wasn't until Brazil 92 that mclaren release theirs, a rather rushed effort because the FW14 b was miles ahead, benneton had there's by 93 and also a few other teams. Crazy how it all works, with so little computer advancement by then, now it's just the norm. Great video jimmer 👍👌
I really like the looks of the early 90's cars since they look similar to the CART cars of the time. they're definately not the same but you could probably have a much more even race between the two.
Hey Jimmy! I saw on your stream yesterday that you were down cause you wanted to do more real car stuff but noone watched the content. Well, I just wanted to let you know, it's cool content! Seeing you go through this experience is the cool part, cause you do it as you, not as a commentator. It may not get as many views, but keep doing them because they are cool to watch!
Jimmy, F1 at Bathurst would be Epic! I feel like while we are on epics, I don't know if Formula 1 at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway would be fun and the opposite of Tilke. And, I'd wonder if an Alan Wilson Road Course Work (Heartland Park Topeka) would be more alert to the Natural Terrain of the Natural Terrain Road Course (IE, Lighter on the Shenigans, pertinent wanting the NHRA National Event Dragstrip as part of Sim, if available.)
Mount Panarama works really well for V8 Supercars because they can rub a lot more, so dirty passing works better. But in open wheel, it's just too messy.
I don’t know how often you look back at old videos for comments Jimmy, but I am a longtime fan who loves all of your mashups. I especially like when you jump into older games. I was wondering, have you ever thought about doing a run on Grand Prix 4? Maybe running a season in its original format, or modding it, to make it more modern. Anyways, I hope that BMW puts you in a GT4. Cheers.
Also the reason the mountain section of Bathurst feels like a street course is because technically Bathurst is a street course, everything is public just closed off during races, it was designed to be race track if I remember correctly but they were contracted to build a public road but the designers built it like a race track because they wanted to build one.
Yes, basically it went like this: - some blokes: how about we build a race track? - government: wont give money for that - blokes: how about a scenic driving road? For tourism? - government: nah yeah sounds good -blokes: *builds road* you know what we could use this road for? A race track!
I don't think they should, they'd have to widen the track itself, install run off zones, build new stadium parts etc. That would ruin Bathurst as it is now.
Bathurst and Sebring would be great Formula tracks IMO. Bathurst has such a nice flow to it and the verticality looks tricky. Not to mention those toothpick-wide turns
The past few days, Ive been wacking around Bathurst in the F2004 on AC. Its SO fun, and when you get that flowie section right going up the hill towards the crest, hmmmm oh so sweet. PS: Express is a terrible vpn - Go for Asrtill
With the "second half" of F1 cars being essentially their engine and gearbox, V8-powered cars were shorter than V-12 powered cars in reality, drastically increasing handling in low speed corners*. As far as I know, this is not simulated here, making the differences between different engine concepts less pronounced than in reality. *one of the main reasons of teams gradually abandoning V12 engines. V10s were the better compromise of output and dimensions / weight.
@@ICKY427 It would. To be perfectly honest with you, I am not certain it is not modelled. But it not being mentioned anywhere, I assume it is not modelled. Which is a shame, given its importance to F1's overall car development.

They did send an F1 around Bathurst, piloted by Jensen Button and Craig Lowndes.
F1 and Kimi: 'Excellent race Kimi, top 3. What did you think?'
'Eh, it was ok but we will see.'
F1 and Jimmerz: 'Great race Jimmerz, you started P 18 and...'

Until the mid 70s they did run open wheelers at the track until a dreadful accident where a car got airborne over one of the 'humps' going down conrod.
Neil Allen in McLaren held the outright lap record for years
They added the chase to negate that issue....
No the chase was added to comply with regulations for the World Touring car competition, which Bathurst became a round for in the late 80s. I think they also lowered one of the humps at the same time though which would have made life a little easier for open wheelers.

At the opposite of PAUL Ricard, there's no runoff areas it would probably be too dangerous for F1 but it would be so cool 😅
It's the opposite as far as excitement is concerned as well
2122 F1 fans: "F1 is too dangerous. We need to turn it virtual."
Sensational racing, Jimmy! Those overtakes for 10th and 9th were artfully done!
The corner at the end of Mountain Straight is Griffin's Bend. Quarry is the right-hand corner directly after The Cutting.
Correct.
Correct. Well almost. Quarry is turn 6 just past where Dick Johnson hit the rock. You're talking about turn 5. Some call 5 & 6 quarry so you're not totally wrong. Quarry is also where many drivers mention going under the tree.

great race, please note the first corner after hell corner is GRIFFINS BEND and then the cutting and then quarry....and then
Jimmy, I think you can click "use H pattern" in the game or the controller setting
Not if the car doesnt use an h pattern in real life (or in this case the devs fantasy)
F1 cars have raced at Bathurst in the Australian Grand Prix in 1958. The race was run to Formula Libre and F1 cars were in it. The last time wings and slicks cars ran was F3 a few years ago.
There is a new race track in Australia called the bend I think you should give it a look.
I wonder if that could end up hosting an F1 race.
@@mikespearwood3914 IFAIK its built to FIA Tier 2 standards not Tier 1. I'm not sure what the difference is though.

F1 should have raced here. Australian GP should be rotated between Adelaide, Surfers Paradise, Albert Park, Bathurst, and Tailem Bend.
That Tailem Bend track looks brilliant.
Great driving - and entertaining commentary !
Jimmy I can hardly play with all my attention and you go and narrates the damn thing? Awesome!!!!
Gods, 30,000 subs away from 300k. Those were the days.
I drove a two hour race at Bathurst in GP2 back in the day (the day being when GP2 was still relatively current). That was fun.
This was so much fun to watch! All your vids recently have had me absolutely on the edge of my seat 😁😁
I usually dont like vr videos but I really enjoyed this one
SO much joy watching you enjoying what we made!!
My heart is racing just from watching that last lap. Top notch entertainment as always, Jimmer!
This was bloody amazing! Proper on edge stuff I would love to see a longer race here in those cars. So much movement and exhaustion lol
great race! helluva lot of energy needed for that one! another great entertaining video!
"Only 30 thousand subscribers", how times have changed :-)
1 year ago he was like yay 50K sups
And a year after these comments he got to 600k :)
Jimmy B getting sponsorships and I was here when he played gran turismo 2. How far we've come 😍
You've gotta do Jim Clark's lotus 49 at Mount panorama 😍
not really a big deal but T2 is actually called Griffins Bend. Quarry is the T5-6 section of track after the Cutting. Loved the video regardless, as always
I love tracks with lots of changes in elevation. Fucking awesome video
Great content. However the track is Griffins Bend and then The Cutting
Not sure where you get Quarry for turn 2. The corner name is Griffins Bend. Love the content.
Quarry is turns 5 & 6 or 6 & 7 iirc
@@zrspangle no turn called that on the circuit
One of the greatest epic race tracks ever built.
I can say at least some if the VR experience came through, that looked like a lot of fun.
2nd lap and final lap mountain parts were sick. So fast my hair was fluttering while I was watching.
300K special should be a whole Jardier impression by Jimmer for 10 mins straight . . . I'm sure you'd agree on this ...
VR + Open Wheelers + Bathurst = Ultimate sim racing experience
One of the main reasons for not being able to race is at the chase due to the speed it is common in V8 supercars for a crash in the dirt and because of the fact it's not level leading to the high possibility of flipping which will be extremely dangerous and expensive.

LOL I saw Formula 5000 race there in the 70's and they were crazy. The straight was also without the kink and I believe they were maxed out RPM wise for the last third of the straight.
TOCA Race Driver 3 has this track playable with F1 Cars.. Really tough.. I must say..

there is an H-pattern toggle in the advanced controller options, though you probably tried that, just an fyi

1 minute and down to 29K away
Takes me back to the good ol' Microprose GP2 days when the track editor came out and people made real gems like Bern-Bremgarten.
Nice driving there, Jimmer, better race than half a season in real life F1 nowadays
Nice job Jim.That looked like a good bit of fun yes.Keep up the great job.
