The quickest way to get along any given stage? Perhaps not, but that sure as hell looks and sounds like massive fun! He can drive a little bit, that lad, even if he can't find reverse ~
I’ve seen the inside of the car in a different video. Reversing I believe takes a while since it’s a sequential automatic transmission so he has to dial back a few gears manually using a lever before he can reverse
When he spun in the last clip, I knew he was having a laugh with his co driver and discussing the best spot for a donut. He had to turn around it's a perfect spot, why not lol
I vaguely recall Modern a motor magazine doing a test on the HDT Magnum, based on the Statesman. Peter Brock demonstrated the car, and made the comment about a Statesman based rally car. Now that would be superb.
This car competed in the ARC component of the WRC up at Coffs Harbour a few years back, the mechanics from one of the factory teams saw it and came over to ask questions about it. They had never seen a car like it and laughed at the crazy horsepower as you can't use it all on the gravel but loved it!
Euro-rally: Efficient, all wheel drive, souped up it with bigass boost, all the electronic control, all of the balance Aussie rally: But consider, manual v8.
Here in the states, someone will occasionally enter a Fox Body V8 Mustang or an old Sierra with a V8 swap, or a Lexus IS V8, and remind us all how good that sound is bellowing through the woods. EV rally cars will not be worthy! ...Fine for commuting but not this.
@@isakjohansson7134 yes efficient They are restricted to 380hp from a 1.6 turbo, rallycross shows those engines are capable of 600+ for good periods of time Thats at least 237hp/per liter, more when derestricted.
@@nazimelon6653 A stock LS 5.3 litre bottom end can handle in the neighbourhood of 1350 hp. That's 255 hp/litre. It's not that these V8s are inefficient.... it's that they're ridiculously detuned, so typical drivers don't kill themselves.
Don't care if I came last every time...the sound and enough torque to get tail happy ( and do circle work ) virtually any time you like would make my Saturday morning big time !😎👍
Y’all knew you blew it but you put on a nice show for everyone. That’s great you guys rock. I’m going to have to start following you all now just for the good sportsmanship. 👌🏼👌🏼
@@nortons4673 mate, I'd love to but we're literally in a giant prison. We're not allowed to leave Australia at all. All this supposedly for our safety 🤦🤬.
@@nortons4673 it's pretty sad. The Australia I grew up in was such a proud, bogan, and resilient place. It genuinely breaks my heart to see the majority of people accept the government overreach over a bit of wu-flu😥🇦🇺
Ive NEVER seen a VE that I actually liked, or respected before this. This is mint, such a heavy car to be fangin' round these turns but it does it elegantly.
Impressive how such a big heavy car is thrown around like that, great set up and driving skills, it looks like this is for fun more than being competitive
Haha! Brilliant bit of driving. Awesome display for the fans, love it. Sound also reminds me of the ole’ V8 Triumph TR7’s getting around the rally circuits!
FUCK YES!! Now that is true Motorsport.. None of this must win at all costs mentality, just getting out there and having a fat time and putting on a show for the people who pay to see and keep their chosen sport supported!! What a true Aussie champion.
I am an unbendable Ford fan, but I watched this a few times. Awesome driver that was shown to only lose control once in this vid (1:31 & 2:13 are the same). I must say though, without that sound, I would have only watched it once. lol
I was standing trackside when he dropped that big doughnut. Everyone got completely hosed with dirt and rocks. I made an effort to cover my face but plenty of others didn't and were a bit upset afterwards! 🤣🤣🤣
Great, some good donuts, he was doing well but cocked up going into that corner, remind us of when Escorts ruled in rallies RWD, until the Audi Quattro came along!!
Takes some serious driving skill to rally in a RWD car. Very easy to over turn in a corner without the front wheels helping pull, but sooo much more fun to drive. Sounds great....looks great.....wish I could join in....

Love it. The stage time is already ruined, might as well put on a show for the fans and photographers lol.
@Uncle Joe is he quick? Probably not but I bet he is having fun.
Looks like he slipped on the grass coming into that corner.
So slow 🤣 but so fucking cool to see a commo with basically the only traction on the front wheels for the whole video 🤣

It’s because of safety, he had to wait for the signal from the referee
POV: When you've already lost the rally stage but you gotta get ready for summernats.
you could tell old mate was having the time of his life rather then being compedative well done champ

Never going to win any rally stages being so heavy but looks a hoot to drive, decent balance

yes but v8
I can’t wait to prove you wrong
@@ProudMurican_PVT-GR137 I'm afraid you will need to wait a long long time or enter a tricycle race

cant hate a car thats built for fun lol
Ahhhh! The sound of a Holden V8 screaming it’s guts out early in the morning at Marysville, Vic!❤️😂🤣🇦🇺
Fearsome sound of a solid V8, absolutely entertaining!
Gotta love the LS
HOLY THAT GUY IS NUTS! I have never seen a commodore move like that before! what a driver!
Mine moves like that when I’m busting for a shit
That's because they're a professional rally driver. Good ol' Greg from wagga wagga woop doing doies his commie unfortunately couldn't drive like this
Very spectacular and great sound. It’s a shame Holden don’t build cars anymore.
Love the v8, the race transmission and the gear change sounds.

2:12 😂
That was AWESOME. Im gonna watch that again. I own a VE but WOW. GO HOLDEN. All The Way. Very Cool Vid. Cheers.
Bringing his reer wheels onto the dirt to get that sharp turn was beautiful, even if he missed it
You can’t beat the roar of a mighty V8.
Driver is a menace love it !!!
Impressive how such a big heavy car is thrown around like that, great set up and driving skills, it looks like this is for fun more than being competitive
Can confirm, I had a VE. Easiest car I've ever held sideways. It seems to prefer to be that way.
Haha! Brilliant bit of driving. Awesome display for the fans, love it. Sound also reminds me of the ole’ V8 Triumph TR7’s getting around the rally circuits!
Remember Tony Pond on the Isle of Man in the Group A Rover SD1? FLAT OUT..... in fog...... memories......
That's an entertaining driver. Love it.
Sounds beast as fu$k. Can watch and listen all day.
Increasing the demand for v8 Commodores
and tyres!
The throttle work is exceptional
Hero!! I like to see the most random cars in sports like this !!!
Love it. Wish more of this sort was covered
As a Canadian viewer, I got massive respect for you auzziez
Now that's how a rally car should sound .hills echoing to the roar of the lion the factory maybe gone but the beast aren't extinct yet
The gear ratios sound so good
The sound of this car so beautiful 😩😩🙌🏽
FUCK YES!! Now that is true Motorsport..

@@lukemurphy9224 Nah bud...
I cant believe that some one would rally drive a commodore. Really nice👍🇦🇺
I'd like to see a territory turbo have a crack at this 4wd one with some boost

@@sethh8892 But the music is still not as nice as an Aussie 5.8 ltr 351 Cleveland or the equivalent yankee 5.0 ltr Coyote.
@@sethh8892 ehhh I wouldn't say "genius" as its just a culmination of all the pushrod V8s from the past, but definitely a good motor!
@@TassyDeval Definitely not! DOHC for the win!
@@mashedt8rs290 Im sorry, I think u r lost. Rice burners are 2 doors down on the left.
Reminds me of using the local national park for rallying back in the day
Awesome stuff! Don’t think I’ve seen a commodore that sideways that hasn’t hit a power pole immediately after.
i feel like holden is what chevy could be if they were allowed to have fun
That was awesome!!!!! I own a Manual GXP this looked so fun 😂😂😂 especially those donuts at the end 👌🏽🍩 these cars sure love that! 🤣
This is a thing of beauty
Sweet! I didn't even know that rallying V8 commodores is a thing
really cool shots
I didn't know I wanted this untill I saw it, oh my god this is awesome!

We need more RWD Rally classes!
Who cares if they are slower, as long as all competitors have RWD it gets exciting, and imo much more fun to watch.
Bloody great effort for such a handfull of a car.
Shades of TR8 - Love it!
Great, some good donuts, he was doing well but cocked up going into that corner, remind us of when Escorts ruled in rallies RWD, until the Audi Quattro came along!!
I've never seen this guy before but he certainly knows how to handle that car 😎👍
Love it
Great to see them here in Tassie pedaling their BRZ
It's a fine line between rallying and drifting.
What an absolute unit of a car.
Heck yeah! The driver isn't afraid of throwing it around either. Absolute credit to him.
I didn’t realise the Hulk could dance well on the dirt? Sweet.
Fkn' awesome!!! All the sounds though!!! Great video 💯
Finishes near the bottom of the ladder but is the only car anyone remembers and talks about lol that’s a massive win 🏆
Impressive car control for a boat like that
Music to my ears
Absolute legend.
Haha more of a awesome drift car for the dirt, beautiful driving mate 👍
Best sounding Rally car I've ever laid ears on
The doughies at the end was the icing on the cake
Great job driving to hat beast, but it needs to be AWD and then re-run that!!!✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Wow dude that was like a full post job..like he fully like mailed that thing like a letter like
V8 sedan builds deserve more credit
There is some talent behind the wheel of that
That’s my mum running late for the hairdresser, he drove it like it should be.full throttle
I’ve never seen anything more Australian, and I bloody love it😁
Oh yeah! We love it too.
Proper sounding rally car
Amazing driving
Que saudade de ouvir o ronco do supercharge gritando de baixo do capô de uma commodore vf, missing oz soo much.
I'm not even a Holden man but this is great to watch. Yeeharr..!!
Lots of practice at night in the Campbellfield industrial areas. Nah for real amazing driving.

You can tell this things a boat! All heavy the way it floats around those corners
Don’t you just hate it when drivers are scared to commit? Lol. He’s driving that Commodore like it’s an oversized Mk2 Escort from the ‘70’s! Bravo!
Great car control for such a big unit on gravel.
That was awesome
A Holden rally car...what a great find for 2022, fuk yeah!
V8’s are just the secret sauce to life
thats the best sound ever
Rally drivers = best skills.
The flick 1:44
Edit: The nuts at the end. This video is just what I needed.
The VE platform is actually really good and balanced.
Reminds me of trying to get to work on time, except the superchaged v8 part
Awesome! drivers got some skill but havin a ball. Good vid!
