This has to be the best video of the whole series I've watched! The fantastic stories from Larry and the awesome work by Jack is out of this world. But hearing and seeing how impressed Larry was seeing the '93 livery on the last Commodore touring car was fabulous. Larry was genuinely excited to see that. You've kick it out the park Jack. Congratulations on this and all the projects you have had your hands on. 1,000% effort from everyone involved!
"Said to the guys 'Mate this has got some mumbo..it's gunna do a very good time"..."I'll give it good old a fang up the hill and down it.." gotta love Larry, engineering genius and no BS. Loved the backroom dealings getting sponsor money out of Holden. Thanks Jack and Larry. The new car looks awesome Jack - congratulations. Thanks for another awesome episode. I'll watch Bathurst this year, and wish it was 1993. :)😀
The 1993 Bathurst story warms my heart! Always had a huge respect for Larry and what he has achieved! And let's also not forget Bathurst in 1995, might need another vid with Larry for that one!
Well done LP & Jack , can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve gone blue in the face trying to explain this was the last genuine Holden powered car to win at Bathurst.
Great show Jack! LP your a legend mate🤘. Love your livery Jack what an awesome tribute! Definitely a big thank you to everyone that made that happened. Cheers
Congratulations Jack and Larry. The restoration of the 93 car is incredible and the tribute with your current car is such an amazing effort to help keep the memories of the good ol days alive. It’s disappointing no more locally manufactured cars and on track is so measured. Love listening to Larry’s stories and the pride he has in you and your work is so inspiring to see. Keep up the great work, and the fantastic TH-cam episodes.
How special. I sit here and watch this in the very shadow of the Mountain. I'm on a roadtrip holiday and we've stayed the night in Bathurst.... something extra special.
Well done Jack and Larry! Awesome work. Both cars are a credit to you and thank you for keeping the memories alive of the best racing category, bar none!
Wonderful, brings back a lot of memories here to, one of the best Bathursts, particularly with last of the Iron Lions. Look forward to the anniversary run at Bathurst.
Great video Jack. By the way, the ol' man looks great sporting those whiskers. Awesome memories of watching LP put one right up the big guys in 93 and doing it with the old Aussie engine. Love the new car too.. looking forward to seeing both of these beasts lapping at Bathurst. All the best.
Hi Jack and Larry, well what an awesome video, and even though I'm a Ford boy from the old DJR days of old, Larry was without question my secret team I supported for the underdog status and Larry's determination with how he did things and I have mentioned before I was in the crowd at the presentation in 93 when that car and Larry and Greg won, I got showered in the champagne and I just love Perkins Engineering even to this day and it has made my day watching this video, you Jack I think you are honouring your fathers achievements and it is just great, and I wish you all the best in the race this year. When that 93 car does those laps this year with Larry at the wheel, it will bring the house down, wow wow wow what a sight that will be, so so good, bring back the old days. Thank you Jack and Larry, you guys are just fantastic, it's really appreciated in keeping the memories alive, Many Thanks Jamie from Newcastle 👍👍👍🇦🇺
Great listening to your old man about the racing back in the day. I remember them well. Be great to see the old VP on the track again. And good luck at Sandown and Bathurst Jack!
At the time of watching that Bathurst almost everyone I was watching with was cheering this car on.. what an amazing time in motorsport history.. Well done LP Cheers👍
I'm not even going to add my comment , as everyone else has done it for me. I'm just going through and liking everyone else and Jacks replys, thumbs up to all. Glad we all love Perkins engineering ❤️
Such an awesome car! One of the best lookers and definitely the best engine that ever raced! Cheers for the chat LP, that was a great story time, thank you.
A big thank you Jack, the 93 car is still my equal favourite car every along with Brock’s group A car and it’s great to see it out and about again. It’s great to see the bond between you and your dad and seeing you working together. I have always found your dad to be a gentleman in my dealings with him when I was crewing NASCAR at Calder Park . Keep up the great work.
I don't think i have seen LP smile so much since he won Bathurst in that car 30 years ago, congratulation.Have a great Bathurst. keep up the great vids....
That was an epic 50th video - loved every second of it ! I reckon LP would have a thousand stories like that to tell and I want to listen to every one of them! Both cars look stunning and I can’t wait to see them on the track !
Another great show by the perkins team , absolutely loved every second and Larry,s no b.s stories are are always enjoyed .I still remember Larry saying there's no reason why a Holden V8 still can't win Bathurst and against all odds went on to prove it. It's also great how you are both so proud of each other's achievements , to further that its people of this calibre that make us proud to be australian # thanx and RIP Greg we still remember that fateful day. ❤
Larry the Legend! What a fantastic effort passing every car flat to the boards to get the win. Met Jack at Bathurst, and he couldn't be more obliging. A big fan.
Great channel Jack and Larry, I love the informative content. It I love the Engineering that goes into these beasts. I Wish supercars would just put these old holden and ford shells on the current cars and make them relevant again!
That is a great video, you can feel the love in the air between Larry and Jack. I could listen to Larry tell his stories all day, he would have a million of them. Great job on the look of both of the cars, and good luck for both Sandown and Bathurst.
Hi Jack loved that vid great 2 see your dad Larry again .. allso love wot larrys doing for moff. he is a good man. as are you Jack ..we are all getting older mate. cheers Harro..
Congratulations Larry for out engineering the big wigs,also nice to hear how Greg Hansford stuck to his word and went with you.Tragic we don’t have him anymore. Jack both cars look great. Thanks for a great and informative discussion. Des . Coffs Harbour
Hey Jack, Congratulations on the channel. It is fantastic. I have immense respect for your dad. My first memories of Larry date back to 82' with HDT as a 10-11 year old. His engineering skills are legendary and he was a great racing car driver. All the best for the future and again, much respect for everything you are doing.
I remember walking through the paddock after the rase and we saw Larry and the family driving out in the big red commodore, he got a big cheer from us , Well done Jack and Larry on a great resto job.
So good to see such a great job you have done Jack. Well done mate, and it is really nice to see how happy the old man is when you talk about his old racing days. Well done Jack, and good on you LP, I'll be watching for you both at the mountain.
Great work Jack. This is sensational. I have always followed Larry and even though 1993 was sensational, the fact he put a VL on the front row of the grid in 92 was so special. That car PE010 was a weapon. He should have gone close in 1990 too but for pace car. Cheers.
LP and JP, awesome effort, love the thoughts of a quick time, lol , just like the VW at Bathurst...fastest slowest lap ever ...😮😮🎉. LP I hope Alan M is going well too with your kindness. .. You lead by example. Thank you .
Fantastic video, love Larry talking about the issues & the fact it was a Holden engine rocketship with his hands on & the freedom to engineer gear ratios etc. Something missing from the current series is the freedom to engineeer the car
the livery on your car looks amazing Jack, really enjoyed hearing Larry recount the 93 Bathurst race, cant wait to see the car on the track at bathurst cheers mate
Great ti see that '93car, full Holden racer, wasas much of o rocket ship as the "Big Banger VK commodore in "84" LP done a lot of great things for the category. Love the restoration Jack and that livery is just mint.
@@perkinsengineeringJack my son was with me at Newcastle and couldn't take his eyes off your car and he just loves your dad. We'll be swinging off the rafters for you guys at Bathurst. Can't wait mate.
What can you say about Larry ? Any more down to earth and he’d be the dirt itself fantastic man awesome driver and competitor and just the loveliest of men onya Larry
well done jack i think you have made larry as proud as punch mate and the car is stunning hope the old boy get's to relive the good old day for awhile in the old iron lion
@4:05 "You'll get it but don't tell anyone" lol. Larry's one of those guys who always (mostly) had a smile & a nod for everyone in the pits. I remember little Jack hanging around his mum's ankles while she sat in a tennis umpire chair recording lap times on a clipboard with stop watches. (I was in the pit next door) ❤
I've basically followed Ford forever but Larry is just such a legend and an Australian icon imo. Dad and son doing things together is just the coolest thing going. Sad thing is that we will likely never see the likes of Larry being a gun engineer and driver, much like Jack Brabham in many ways, again as the corporate and company bs takes control, as usual. I would happily buy a beer for these guys................fwiw. Thanks for the videos.
once again another enjoyable & insightful episode. I know Holden was running a Chev in their own factory team. But how ironic is it that Holden gave LP the cold shoulder because he wanted to stick with Holdens own engine! Particularly since at that time Holden was still using Holden V8s in their production car.... Glad Larry managed to convince the Holden marketing guy to come on board.
Perkins Engineering could no doubt answer the question better than me. But I think it came down to a couple of factors. The Ford teams were given permission to run the US sourced Ford Motorsport engine with alloy heads, which had a fair bit more potential than the cast iron heads, whereas there wasn't this option with the Holden engine at the time. And performance parts for the US engines were plentiful and considerably cheaper than the Holden.
Great series of the 93 car, you’ve all done an awesome job. This era of the V8’s was the best. What’s the plans for it? Will you be bringing it over here to SA and giving it a run around Malala for old times sake? It’ll be awesome to see it 👍🏽
Awesome series and channel, Jack & Larry, thank you for sharing all the history, it's fascinating stuff. I'm totally a Ford guy but I always deeply admired Larry, his skill behind the wheel and of course his phenomenal engineering prowess. I watched him closely when the cars came to Pukekohe for the very first time - I don't think anyone was braver, faster, or smoother into the scary-fast T1 than Larry that weekend. I'm really curious about the translucent composite rocker covers on the race engine. Were these covered in a video I've missed? Keep up the great work with the channel - cheers from NZ
They've been covered off in reasonable detail on our facebook and covered off in a few videos. They are just a fibreglass rocker cover so they were lighter and cheap to make!
Great video Jack . Its always great seeing your dad. And wow your car really looks the business, great job. Q. Why don't you change the diff ratio for Bathurst. It would be a crime to see the old girl run out of puff. And to see her going full throttle down conrod would put the icing on the cake. Anyway keep the memories coming Jack. ✌️Peace from Melbourne/Pakenham.
Well the main reason is we don't have the inventory of diff ratio's to choose from! 3.5 is a diff ratio that will honestly work everywhere and any where, but if we ran the Bathurst 3.25 diff at somewhere like Winton, then it wouldn't get past 4th gear! It will still do 260-270km/h! Cheers!!

You're welcome, Cheers!!
Great show Jack! LP your a legend mate🤘.

What a cracking yarn. You have to love the irony of LP winning with a Holden engine, after being shunned by Holden for not using a chev!
Thanks!
Very good, love how the videos keep improving, good luck at the big events.
Cheers!!!
once again another enjoyable & insightful episode.
I know Holden was running a Chev in their own factory team. But how ironic is it that Holden gave LP the cold shoulder because he wanted to stick with Holdens own engine! Particularly since at that time Holden was still using Holden V8s in their production car.... Glad Larry managed to convince the Holden marketing guy to come on board.
I still dont understand why they would push for the old chev over the Holden, which got a symmetrical head and the chev didnt?
Perkins Engineering could no doubt answer the question better than me.
But I think it came down to a couple of factors.
The Ford teams were given permission to run the US sourced Ford Motorsport engine with alloy heads, which had a fair bit more potential than the cast iron heads, whereas there wasn't this option with the Holden engine at the time.
And performance parts for the US engines were plentiful and considerably cheaper than the Holden.
Cheers!!!
I think it was driven by other teams that couldn't make the power with Holden engines and the future was likely to be Chev components.
Great series of the 93 car, you’ve all done an awesome job. This era of the V8’s was the best.
What’s the plans for it? Will you be bringing it over here to SA and giving it a run around Malala for old times sake? It’ll be awesome to see it 👍🏽
I was originally considering Mallala for the shake down! Take it to Bathurst first and then make some plans after that! Cheers!!!
Love it. Still have the car on the wall at work.
How good
Nice work Jack, car looks unbelievable. Drive it like you stole it Larry
That's the plan! Cheers!!
Awesome series and channel, Jack & Larry, thank you for sharing all the history, it's fascinating stuff.

High chance of that!!
Great job guys

Hi Jack. Love your work 👍
Cheers!!
Love you both
Great video Jack . Its always great seeing your dad. And wow your car really looks the business, great job.
Q. Why don't you change the diff ratio for Bathurst. It would be a crime to see the old girl run out of puff.
And to see her going full throttle down conrod would put the icing on the cake.
Anyway keep the memories coming Jack.
✌️Peace from Melbourne/Pakenham.
Well the main reason is we don't have the inventory of diff ratio's to choose from! 3.5 is a diff ratio that will honestly work everywhere and any where, but if we ran the Bathurst 3.25 diff at somewhere like Winton, then it wouldn't get past 4th gear! It will still do 260-270km/h! Cheers!!
