      I've been watching a few reaction vids on this & it's common occurrence.
      That is a car minus a couple of wheels & some minor body work. What was left was the actual make up of the car.
      If you really want to see bogan Bathurst look up 80's to 2000. It got really wild on top of mountain back then, if someone drove up there in a Toyota people would torch it as a sacrificial offering to the Bathurst god's😁
      Highly regulated these day's, great experience & memories.

    Hi Rob. I was a fire marshal there in 1983/84. The one factor Mark didn't mention which is totally unpredictable is the kangaroos. More than one has been on track during the race and since there has been a lot of rain there will be plenty of food around so I won't be surprised if a roo or 2 make an appearance this year.

    One of the greatest races in the world. 5.5 hrs of endurance racing. Most years the time difference between first and second place is less than one second for 5.5hrs of gruling racing. There is nothing like it in the world. You must watch this years race just completed today. It keeps you on the edge. The shear brilliance in engineering and technologies of the cars and stamina of the drivers to take on every corner for 5hrs. Absolutely blows me away.

    The thing that makes Bathurst special is that its one of the few major tracks that really will end your day in a second. No Paul Ricard tarmac run off everywhere, even Le Mans isnt as close as Bathurst. Its a track with consequences ...every lap

  • @Reece_Hart
    @Reece_Hart 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    One thing to take into account for not just Bathurst but the other 2 enduro races that were usually on the calendar is that there are two drivers per car. So imagine how much worse then normal you'd feel crashing given you've got a whole other driver now also relying on you to get it right.

    • @gamergirl5317
      @gamergirl5317 ปีที่แล้ว

      it has to be because the race can take 8 hours, so each does 4 hours, I can't imagine being at between 200 to 300 km/h I've never driven a car myself but growing up I was a big peter brock fan, if you even mentioned Bathurst you meant Peter Brock he was the number one driver in 1975, 1978-80, 1983-84 and 1987. His last Bathurst 1000 was in 2004 alongside Jason Plato.

    Fun fact: A few years ago the organisers of the Bathurst 1000 decided to limit the amount of alcohol people could bring in to 48 cans of beer per person per day, and fans almost rioted. Most of the time the circuit is public roads so people went up there 2 weeks before and were burying alcohol to dig up later and get round the restrictions.
    The whole event is basically a drinks party with a race happening in the background.

    G'day Rob. I was going to recommend this video myself, but I didn't because everyone who does a reaction on it either has it taken down or has the video muted. I'm not sure why. It's on Bizpix's channel, but he can't be the one who owns the copyright, The Ten Network were the original broadcaster, so they would own the copyright. Seems a bit cheeky if he is the one reporting it as a copyright infringement, and he has it on his channel, but he doesn't own the copyright.
    Anyway, it's far and away the best Bathurst video out there. Mark Larkham does a fantastic job of describing what a demanding race it is.

    • @RobReacts1

      I think it's a great video for getting the blood pumping. The problem is the audio. It's got 3 copyright. First one I had to mute, hence the short bit at the start with no sound but then the other 2 are covers of music so shared monetised.

    Are you aware of the history of the race? It used to be for developing cars for the road - not a commercial enterprise.
    My parents took me there as a toddler - it rained and was so wet that it was safer to walk about without shoes, then to risk losing them in the mud. I'd not want to try that these days - never know what you'd step on.
    Hubby and daughter have been glued all day, since this is race day.

    The Bathurst 1000 is the best motorsport event in the world and the track at Mount Panorama is amazing, there is no other track in the world like it. Going across a mountain with incredible angles and climbs truly adds to the spectacle. It is sad that we don't have Holden vs Ford (Aussie built cars) anymore, Which ever car that won the race that year meant added sales for that brand on the Monday after the event..........

    Danish sports car ace, Allan Simonsen sets the fastest ever recorded
    time around the most difficult Australian circuit
    -- Mount Panorama, Bathurst -- just two hours drive west from Sydney.
    It's the latest specification MICHELOTTO FERRARI 458 GT3, prepared
    by MARANELLO MOTORSPORT - in Melbourne.
    Simonsen is no stranger to racing a FERRARI 458 GT3, having
    campaigned a Le Mans Series GTE-Pro spec variant last year throughout
    Europe and the 24 Hours of Le Mans with podium results.
    The very same car started from pole at the 2011 24 Hours of
    Nürburbring, with Allan onboard.
    Sit back and enjoy how much quicker this Italian machine is around
    The Mountain - than a V8 Supercar.

    The crash you commented on “that’s not even a car anymore”
    That was lap 1 of 161 in the 2010 race, it was driver Fabian Coulthard (yes, he is a distant relative of David Coulthard from F1)
    On the start line another cars bumper rubbed against his left rear tyre as they fought for position, casing a weak spot on the tyre. As he then gets to the end of Conrod Straight (doing 290 - 300km) the weak tyre let’s go because that’s the point of the track it’s under the most load, as well as the car weighing the heaviest it can weigh because it has a nearly full 140L fuel tank.
    Anyway, the tyre let go turning him side ways and into the sand trap, the car digs into the sand and rolls (7 times I think).
    He then gets out and walks away unassisted.

    There are great events such as the indy 500 then there are great race tracks such Bathurst, Ive done many laps on a sim and believe me it gets the heart going in the virtual world, imagine what it is like in the real world.

    Still prefer the original track. 163 laps minus that crap chase kink, it’s stupid. No braking duels anymore, the minis and smaller cars could beat up on the v8’s. Now it’s just become another slot car bend, boring, as bat shite

    Commiting to certain scenarios before hand is a wise way to drive, not just on a race track (tarmac or ralley) but also just driving to work at peak hour.
    How many times have you seen idiots focusing on the car in front of them when you should look 5,6,7 cars ahead and predict what's going to happen?.
    Anyway that's my spiel for today.

    G'day Rob, those Race driving are hero's and the cream of a dangerous Sport, l ride a high powered Motorcycle 🏍️ on Australia roads where car drivers just don't look for bikes on the open road, so for 16 broken bones in two being hit by a car, one time pushed of the road and there with a broken leg and arm 10 hours before someone stoped and in 10 hours only 2 cars went past, l time my hat of to anyone who rides in Australia, that's why we are called temporary Aussie. Cheers, mate Neil.

    This track only gets harder to race on each year as the drivers get better, and the cars get faster. Plus the conditions here are unpredictable. This track hasn't even thrown everything at these drivers. It commands respect. Fail to give the mountain the respect it deserves and it'll ruin your day.

    It's not generally an open road, as in used by general traffic, you have to let them know you want to go around it and ask permission to do it now! I am never doing it again one of the corners down from the Mountain was like being on a ski course with blind spots! 😳

    biggest thing about mt panorama is that it's a very slim road so you have to really take advantage of the area's where you can overtake, it doesn't meet regulations for F1's to race though they did do a f1 promo on it a while back i believe, as for public roads not being as good for racing cars, it depends on the track and the upkeep of the road, take the Adelaide circuit, it's considered by all drivers to be 1 of the best laid tracks of all time as they make sure it's smooth and no potholes and deviations

    Generally Australian TV networks are awesome at pre-event adverts/stories. This one being a great example. Bathurst is such a pressure cooker. You are not only racing for yourself, but also for your co-driver. (2 drivers per car, each driver must complete a certain number of laps) I looked up some stats for Bathurst: each car will consume nearly 800 litres of fuel. A driver will lose between 3% to 5% of body weight during the race.(sweat) They even have an alcohol limit on the 'bogans' ...1 carton of beer per day, per person. (24 cans) or, 36 cans of light beer, or 24 cans of pre mixed spirits, or maybe you're a wine drinker, well you are allowed 4 litres per day.......lol 🤯
