I love Bathurst. I was videographer for Liqui Moly in their naming rights sponsorship of the 12hr and now I'm about to be videographer for Meguiar's in their naming rights sponsorship. All access to pits, anywhere on the mountain, and the best boxes at the track 👌
@ Thanks mate. It sure is. Watching a crew replace a Porsche RSR engine in about half an hour while they toss all sorts of damaged carbon fibre parts passed you is one to remember.
Some great racing by everyone. It was a reminder to me that I should ask about tires when I'm putting a build together. I look forward to sharpening my skills with a good group of folks.
It's been a while, but I gotta keep up in shape somehow - Things We Learned This Time: - A BMW 323i Compact with a 6.2 litre V8 is a match made in madness - Two very impressive overtakes at the Dipper, that guarantees you instant Australian citizenship - Liam and Shadow's chicanery at the Chase undid them in the end, I reckon if Crompo, Skaifey and Larko were commentating they'd have instantly exploded - What took the Forza devs so long to put Bathurst in the game? And I wonder which new track will be included in the future - since we have Le Mans and Indianapolis, why not do the Triple Crown and go for Monaco? - And that rarest of rare things, a Bathurst race without any Holdens or Aussie Fords.
Would be amazing to see a race on a curvy and undulating track with vintage cars, perhaps pre 80s with the same class limit as this video - was brilliant battling! The land yachting idea came to me when Rowan Atkinson was on Top Gear, would be amazing seeing the floaty suspension whipping around track
It would be super cool to see how multi class racing would work in a game like FM8. You could have teams of 3 with each driver being in a different class car to see which team could get the most cars highest on the grid.
My WRX was definitely "the car of all time", it had nice acceleration but no grip or straight line speed, but driving it around Bathurst was still a blast
Well when you want to come drive a BMW compact with way less power but possibly a sillier wing let me know, will eventually get around to building my compact cup car on my channel when funds allow 👍 great video
It's interesting how many issues you've been having with the multiplayer, collissions, etc. I've got about 150 hours in and the only issues I've encountered is replays not working great and the Mugello curb spinning me out. Maybe the issues are specific to console, or private lobbies? Nice to have Bathurst back, though you could argue it should've been there in the first place.
No idea how well Forza models such things. I'm surptised you held on to that at all - the Compact in the real world was a tail-happy little b'stard, put a V8 in it and you have a death machine.
As great as the racing can be in FM8 I almost wish y'all were playing FM7 instead, since that game didn't have nearly as many multiplayer issues in my experience.
whatever happened to racing cars only tuning only what they come with what they come with i swear 90 percent of these that i watch you just swap out an engine ruining the natural car
The commentators curse was strong with Liam and Shadow's accident at the end of Bathurst 😂

Congrats being able to get back into it again. Would be one of the best pitlanes around.

You guys should do a race season with an actual point system where first second and third gets a real world prize.

Ah yes, the BMW 362i Compact
the wing mirrors are wired up wrong. the left is showing the view from the right and vica versa.
You can't unsee this now. Sorry.
I was unsure if I should give you a thumbs up on that. I was happy in my ignorance.
Sorry about the contact at 17:34, I wasn’t expecting a car to go around the outside, and once you were there forza glue stopped me from turning away
Race two = the finest 🧀
If your going to throw a big block v8 in the front, add some fuel to keep your back wheels planted. More than 1/3.
Even stock compacts and Z3’s have happy rear ends

the way nobody touched eachother at 1:46 is exactly why i keep coming back to watch more
Bathurst is just amazing... but I'm waiting for the Christmas Scalextric. 😏
I didnt think this was all that impressive until i realized that those mid cars were going faster than GT3s
nice race on mount panorama

gliscor and trying to throw stupid moves up the inside that are never on, name a more iconic duo.

323 go brrrrrrrrrrrrr
Bathurst is my home
I can't believe the forza devs have been so incompetent as to leave collisions broken for multiple weeks like this...
i mean you could have prolly tuned the standard car up to the same level as just slapping another engine in it
Bathurst, but physics first!
Fix the physics already....
No Mid Ohio race D:
Day 10 of asking Alex what his trophy rating in Top Drives is 😊
0:33 ew the car is dirty

Need survive the hunts not these
those usually come out on the 1st of the month. these races are alex's bread and butter.

you must be new here. thats the whole point of these races. i remember fh4 team race days when they would make really silly combos.
