- After three years away - one with BMW, and two with Ford, between 1988 and 1990 - Peter Brock returned to Holden in partnership with his old team-mate and engineer, Larry Perkins. Here's a segment produced by Neil Crompton to usher in the new team for 1991.
Perkins was a very good driver and a great engineer. I don't think he got the credit he really deserved.
This segment was originally to be shown on the Seven Network during their coverage of the opening round of the 1991 season from Sandown. However, due to coverage of the First Gulf War breaking into normal programming, approximately 30 minutes was trimmed from the start of the Sandown coverage. This segment was dropped, and was then shown as part of the coverage of the second round from Symmons Plains - notice the little piece tacked onto the end about how the "new team" went at Sandown.
How do you have such knowledge, it's golden.
Best of the best, Brocky and Larry joining forces in the almighty VN Group A. Just a shame they couldn't pull of another Bathurst.
i grew up watching brocky, he was my hero. RIP brock
Interesting to see the blipper on the gear stick to eliminate heel and toe right at the end of the video.
The best driver in the world rip 💯❤️
Lol obviously not. If he was he wouldn't be dead...
@@jackmackay2304 you sir are an idiot
Peter Brock is still regarded as one of the greatest Australian drivers of all time and is ranked the 2nd best touring car driver in the world of all time
other highlights include
3 times ATCC
9 times Sandown 500 winner
10 times Bathurst winner
Brock did drive off the road lots of times in Europe - and left with a poor record.
If he was...he would of made it into F1...so he obviously wasnt. He only won if he had the fastest car and good team...Tony Longhurst was a better driver than the hyped up Brock...Brock knew how to market himself though...ill give h8m that.
@@sammy_dog if Brock was as good as you think he was he would have made it into F1...and as far as 2nd in the world ranking?....you're dreaming
He was never really a Holden man as some describe, he would drive what ever was avalible!
brocky was holden through and through, only drove other brands because he got dumped by holden and had no money. he always said he loved holdens
He did put his name on a Lada after all...
He said he was a Holden man and so was his dad, to the point where his dad wouldn't let anyone park a Ford in his driveway ;)
I think what Mitchell was trying to say was he was a racer first, Holden fan second. It's tru he raced heaps of cars and his first race cars were not Holden's nor his last, but he did do roughly 20 years of racing in Holden's. That counts for something.
Hey, can anyone tell me what's with the top radiator hose in the engine bay of the VN at 2.39? The hose is split into two pieces and has some kind of canister in the middle. Is this a method of bleeding the cooling system or something? Appreciate any input

From memory , it’s Bathurst debut : Brock didn’t get off the start line . Diff / axle failure. ???
What is the go with a different front wheel on the VN?
Is it a cover or a HDT Aero type wheel?
The wheels are the same, but they ran a cover over the front ones to trap more brake heat, and help keep the temperature of the front tyres up...Perkins Engineering - (which these cars were) - started doing this in 1988.
What is the artist music used in the opening music and song called? Heard it so many times watching old races but never found out what it was called.
Two tribes by Thompson Twins, I think.

@AMFForumvideo No - sorry - to be honest, I don't even know the show!
And did they Win?....um NO....By the finish they were over 10 laps behind at bathurst
Nice Vauxhall Carltons
No v8 but there was a twin turbo 6 cylinder Carlton, which lotus had a hand in. Would have been more interesting than the dinosaur v8 Australia hard a hard on for.
Wade Dixon. Australians grew up on a diet of tough sixes and v8s, in the 40s and 50 60s we were subjected to wheezing pommie shitheaps like vanguards ford prefects Austin’s Morris, all piles of complete crap. Your beloved twin turbo Carlton wouldn’t have lasted five laps of Bathurst before it blew its British guts down Conrod.
@@captainkaos754 2 years late but you are spot on.
I had a VK Calais Director. The vehicle was stolen at Macquarie Shopping Centre. I bought a 1992 VP GTS. It has cost me over $100,000.00 dollars to make it as good as the VK Calais Director. Unfortunately performance workshops were no longer honest.
Cool story - but what the hell has that got to do with this video?
MWVideo AU. If you were a driver from 1960 to 1998, you had lots and lots of fun. The point that I am making is that we have been wrotted by the UN. All of our manufacturing has been taken off shore we now own nothing. The V8 Super Cars a re a joke and it is no longer a sport.
@@andrewphillips4897 The UN? Sorry, you're entitled to your opinion, but we're just not into stupid conspiracy theories on this channel...your initial comment had ZERO to do with the video. Please be relevant or please don't comment.
MWVideo AU, you have confused me. What conspiracy theories? Everybody knows the facts today. Australia has been raped by the evil, leftist, Communist UN Dictatorship. I love the Australia that I grew up in.
@@andrewphillips4897 I gotta say this is the first time I've ever seen someone blame the UN for V8 Supercars not being what they wanted. Reconsider who you listen to, turn off the TV and stop spreading conspiracy theories. Sky News, Qanon and Facebook are not credible sources of information
I am amazed how evil some people are. I posted a dislike of the V8 Super Cars because I do not consider the series as being Australian and it is certainly not sporting. As a nation we have been attacked by traitors of the New World Order. The person deleted what I posted (so much for freedom of speech) and attacked me personally. I would like to know who this coward non Australian is. He certainly is a coward. Hides behind the UN dictatorship.
