Daryl Waltrip is such a great ambassador for motor sport, he's so comfortable in front of the camera in a completely strange place littered with geological oddities and dumb corkscrews 😂what super entertaining person, and his accent is so much fun. Thank you for your enthusiastic reactions to our great race 😄
Yeah the driver was Jason Bright!! And all of Australia was pissing themselves laughing at this when he did this back in 2011. We were thinking yeah mate you have no idea what your in for, the best race course in the world. I drive it everytime I duck up to Bathurst you can’t help yourself to chuck a lap around it. Usually grab something to eat and drive up to Skyline and pull in at the park and have lunch the the view is great.I live 34 minutes from Bathurst.. am a Holden fan and of course a huge Brocky fan.. 😊🇦🇺❤️
Thank you so much mate. Thank you for the correct name and pronunciation I appreciate it. I just put this down on things to do list when I go to Australia. I wonder if I can do a lap with my rental. This was great I love that track. I'm going to watch a bunch of footage and put it on my channel just for the fun of it
@@OccasionalOutlaw its a public road, so you will be able to drive around it (unless its a race day), but because of what it is, the cops keep a very good eye on it and you will get in deep shit if you try and do a 'hot lap'. there are actually a bunch of houses along the track.
@@OccasionalOutlaw yes its a public road my one wish was if I ever won lottery was to own property on the mountain as people live around the track and come race day set up and watch it drive pass my front yard. Its a bitch to walk around, going up is a killer, people walk around it everyday.. there is the museum before you drive into where they race out the front of it is statue of Brocky’ standing on top of one of he’s Holden Commodore that he won Bathurst with, you will love the cars etc and history that they have in there… I hope you get to visit us here in Australia and go to Bathurst 😊🇦🇺
I’m Australian and have been watching Bathurst for more than 45 years but it took me 40 of those years to get there. No television or words can describe driving that track and I was very lucky to get a’Hot Lap’ and still couldn’t get over it…..
Ah I was going to send this one to you lol. Awesome vision and Daryl's voice was getting higher and higher lol. Poor man thought he was just going on a Sunday drive lol. Love the interview at the end too. Just love your enthusiasm Jeff it's contagious lol.
So it really helped a lot that I know Daryl a little bit from watching racing back in the day and I've seen plenty of interviews to kind of know his personality. That being said that was a lot of fun to see Jason put him through all the moves. Justlinsu I love this kind of sport what a great race and track. I'm going to have a whole bunch of looks at it just for the fun of it. Thank you as always for your time. Good to see you. Be well
Mate, gotta say, your reactions are so bloody authentic it's a refreshing change. Your passion for motor sports is very evident and I can't wait to see you dig deeper into Australian racing and learn to love it the way we do. Absolutely make the trip to watch Bathurst live, you will not regret it and you will return home with a whole bunch of new friends that you will have made while at the great race.
My Dad religiously watched Bathurst for as long as I can remember from the 70’s with Dick Johnson versus Peter Brock. He was a mechanic and loved cars and Fords……always told both his daughters that he wouldn’t like it if the fellas we brought home drove a Holden, so wouldn’t you know it, my older sister did 😂😂😂 I’m loving your channel. Don’t worry about people with negative comments……I’m not into that stuff….. I mean if they haven’t got anything nice to say, they should just move on…..nothing is stopping them. In a reverse way, I don’t claim to know everything about other places in the world, but when you talk about your home, we learn. Enjoy your day.
Kazz well said. Perfectly said. Yes I just dismiss negative stuff in a quick second hey I love the story I just love that kind of stuff and love hearing those stories I'm going to check out a whole bunch of this because I do a little road racing for fun at Topeka Heartland Park two and a half mile road course so this is right up my alley. That was a whole lot of fun. Thank you for the time and the kind words I sure do appreciate it.
Love your reaction Bathurst is a large town west of Sydney in the state of New South Wales on the East Coast. The race in 1000km long approx 500 miles and it runs for around 6 hours. A bit of trivia for you the ute ( utility vehical )or truck as you call it is a derivative of a car both Ford and General Motors Holden are represented in this race both of which are V8's. Ford Australia created the first ute in the 30's. Race cam the in car race camera was pioneered at Bathurst and invented and developed by Channel 7. Its now as you would know used world wide.
I remember that from a few years ago , haha funny as , always good to get another perspective from a legend. The great race is on in October , put it in your calendar, fill your esky put ya phone on silent and don’t blink . Great reaction Jeff 😮
How you got me laughing good there always fun with you way back. That was a good time watching that and I really am getting a great respect for that race and course. I'm going to check out a whole bunch more just for the fun of it. Thank you for the time and the kind words I really appreciate it.
@JHalvy2112 thank you. I have been a Nascar fan for 60 years. My husband ( who was older than me ) raced with Mario Andretti and AJ Foyt (sprints). My dad and uncle raced too ( late model).
sure miss all the big names back in the day, they made it fun to watch, you never knew who was gonna come jumping over the hood in the winners circle, DW and Davey A memories, thanks for sharing
Don't worry about 'wet blankets' who whinge... We don't like 'em either! Loved his reactions... "I'm gonna lose my lunch and i didn't have any!" Crack up!
I love that you don't know much about it yet but are interested and willing to learn! I love seeing people from all over the world seeing a little bit of what we do down here and hopefully liking it
Occasional Outlaw...love the intro music and your enthusiasm and respectful attitude...have a look at 'kangaroos in the great race'....enjoy more Bathurst and many thanks for helping to promote Bathurst and Aussie culture. Best wishes.
When Allan Moffat first went to Bathurst in the 1960s he was with some ford personnel they stopped at the top of skyline looking out to the view towards Bathurst city Moffat said to the Ford personnel shouldn't we be getting to the race track and the response to Moffat was you are on the race track and this is the highest point in Moffats own words he took one more look and never looked at that view again when racing.
The “DIPPER” is nothing like it used to be..... the track is also totally different to the original “ COUNTRY ROAD”. Every time they resurface it they fill in the Dipper a bit more and make the track “ easier” to drive. Very different to the Cork Screw at Leguna Seca, which is only a chicane with a substantial drop.......you turn in to the left as the road drops down hill like a steep driveway. Before you can accelerate you have to turn right onto a flat and level exit. The Dipper was named after the now outlawed amusement ride, the Big Dipper....... best roller coaster ever....... The DIPPER is a left hand corner that is part of the fast downhill S bends that take you from SKYLINE down the mountain to Conrod straight. The Dipper itself is a hole right on the apex and fast line through the corner...... but it was large and DEEP.......ride it like a Roller Coaster and pray it doesn’t brake your front end and steering or simply throw you across the track into the wall. lol
AND dont forget that Forrest elbow was named after Arthur Ronald ‘Jack’ Forrest who in 1947 crashed his motorbike quite badly (on the first day of practice) on "the elbow" severely mashing his own, he did however go on to compete in the race. (My father also raced bikes there for a few years)
The best video about Bathurst is "TENmotorsport There's nothing like it This is Mount Panorama This is Bathurst". The guy at the end "Mark Larkham" interviewing the guy that took an accidental ride in a spin dryer explains how to drive the circuit. He is dead serious in his comments. PS: Sometimes the beginning (the first 30 secs or so) of the audio gets muted by youtube. I don't know why, but a number of youtube creators have had it happen to them and yet others haven't had a problem. CZcams is a bloody strange critter
I hope you look into researching Bathurst more, I watch a lot of motorsport around the would, and this track will test the skill of the worlds best drivers, no room for errors, been on a hot lap and it's insane, camera angles don't do the track justice, it truly is a great race, the only track that comes mildly close would be Spa, recent F1 round. Kiwi from down under
This is so good as a lot of Americans can associate with Daryl Waltrip and his racing pedigree.. If it freaks him out, its hardcore motorsports.. We even had the race on at my mates wedding reception, the bride was the one most into it!! Marcus Ambrose is probably the most successful Australian in NASCAR racing.. And those are Aussie UTES starting the next race. Sedan front, enclosed tray back end, kinda like an opposite "mullet" haircut/.. Party up the front, business in the back..
They keep showing this edited version of Daryls lap but if you can track down the full lap of Daryl & Jason Bright its funnier and you get to see the whole track
Kyle that is fn funny mate. I have been getting used to the Ozzy phrasing. Barnsy, Farnsy, Thorpy, Brocky. Love it brother. Thank you for the time and support.
My husband & I used to attend the Easter Motorcycle races at Bathurst & my husband ticked one off his bucket list when he raced there in the mid 1980s. The concrete walls that were installed to protect specators made the circuit too dangerous for motorcycle racing. SBS Broadcasting made a good video called 4 Days of Bathurst that featured Denis Neil calmly commentating as he hustled his superbike through the field during a practice session. Denis was badly injured during the racing when the front wheel fell out of his Honda while wheelying up Mountain Straight.
The driver was Jason Bargwanna. His father and uncle were both racers. You nailed it. The elevation change is ludicrous. It is difficult to walk up or down those sections of road they are so steep. Marcus Ambrose is an Aussie who went to the US and won NASCAR races mostly on road circuits, particularly Watkins Glen.
You may be right. They both drove for BOC. I mainly based it on the comment that sounded to me like “he’s a little guy” but I Googled it and you are correct.
Jason Bright was the driver ….❤ I was a bit of a rev head in my much younger days … I’ve driven the Bathurst track on a public day at legal speed, and gotta tell ya, coming down the mountain was scary 💩 and I think I did the dipper and corkscrew at about 10 miles an hour … as for the the moody AHoles, your channel, do it your way ❤
Hello Alliegal45 . Yes I got the name wrong I miss heard. I have it now thank you for the help. Oh so fun to hear about your stories of maybe driving being a bit fast.
Marcos Ambrose Is 2 times Australian Champ than went to America and run Nascar. Won at watkins Glen most times he raced there. Got taken out last time at Bathurst by Greg Murphy. After Balaclava incident(Holden didnt want him to win). Greg Murphy walked away from a car without much damage
Bwahahahaha...I didn't know if he said geological or geographical odyssey! Guess both would be correct! This was fun!!! Ignore the haters, they are miserable people and live to make other people miserable! Love your channel and how you're mixing things up!!!🤠🤠
When not used for racing this is a public road.Ive driven it a few times at the speed limit and you appreciate the skill it must take to pilot race cars around it
Jason Bright was the driver and he was a great driver also a decent bloke to talk to.Jason was also able to tame the mountain on 1 occasion and im not sure how many times he started up there❤
It's a pity you've missed the best era of Holden vs Ford that finished in 2017 (see my HSV GTS). If you have time look into those. Enjoying your interest in Aussie motorsport.
Mount Panorama is a very unforgiving track. My ex husband used to run 2 strokes . Tuning is different at the top of the mountain to the bottom. Fast but scary.
Bathurst is held in September or October most years. The pandemic changed a few things but it's always a spectacle and a party. A few years ago, those who make the rules decided the drinking was getting a bit out of control. They passed a law that said each person could only take one carton of beer into the venue a day. Thats 24X375mil bottles, about 15 fluid ounces, per day. That's a bout three gallons of beer each a day. Some of these guys are serious drinkers.
So that was Mark Larkham interviewing him at the end there. Please react to Mark's description of a lap at Bathurst. It will put you in the picture of what 161 laps around this track is all about. I'm sure it is on your list by now. But please make it a priority, as it will make all other reactions to footage around this track easier to understand in your own mind.
785 boats I did not realize it was 161 laps. OMG. That is brutal even with two drivers. I'm going to do exactly what you said my next Bathurst will be that one that you mentioned. Thank you for your time and your help I do appreciate it. Be well mate
@@OccasionalOutlaw Mark Larkham's video is called This is Bathurst. He is a former Formula Ford Europe champion, and has raced at Bathurst enough to know it like the back of his hand. He describes how to drive the corners and straights of Bathurst like no one else. His passion and ability to communicate is second to none. Recommended.
Yes I have that down now sorry about the mix-up with name before. I am starting to get familiar more and more everyday with Bathurst. I am infatuated with it. Can you believe the crazy Australians built a road course on top of a mountain. Lol. I appreciate your time and support good day
Today, when they top the crest after skyline, the fronts lift off, at the dipper, the left of the car lifts, front and rear.. There isn't a track like it anywhere, it's a day to day road for the public. M. Ambrose, is probs the Best Aussie V8 driver until Gisbergen. I know this will hurt the butts of the "Brocky crowd" but it is just what it is.. Bathurst at it's steepest is a one in six grade.. That's 6 mtrs forward for one meter down.. @ get ferked speed.. lol's.. or.. ( 19.6 ft to drop 3.208 feet.) not even the Ring can offer that level of freckle tightening. just sayin :P
Hi, I've only just started watching your channel, and from my point of view. You're doing a pretty good job so far. If you can, do yourself a favour and get down to Australia and go and have a look at the great race for yourself. I think you will be blown away by the entire spectacle.
Pay no mind to any bad comments made, we get dickheads in Australia just like anywhere in the world. Just like after your first video, please Jeff, watch this is Bathurst this is Mount panorama. I promise you will love it mate.
No worries mate I dismissed it right away. Going to be a little bit of that I reckon. The truth of the matter is I am discovering daily things I never knew of that are super fun and exciting. I'm going to do a bunch of stuff from Bathurst just for the fun of it. Thank you for your time and kindness. Be well.
Jeff. By contrast try to find Max Verstsppen (F1 driver) on his introduction laps in a V8 Supercar. He looks like he is on the bus going home. Completely different.
Thanks Bruce I always like to get that right and had the name wrong. My mistake. Pardon me. Thank you for the help going forward I need all I can get. Be well mate.
Planning a great trip for October 2024. What a time it will be. 13 months to go, I think about it daily, (The Mountain), but not just that. There is so much to see and do. I working for the heatwave and the tropical rain, where no mans putting a dog for me. Take care mate
Don't listen to dickheads we have wankers in Australia to, we know your a good bloke,your fair dinkum and love your motorsport, no worries 👍. I know you'll have a good time you remind me of the boys in the team from the states who came out I've worked for Valvoline Rahmoc racing when Bob & Butch had the team here in Australia when Morgan Sheppard and the great man and Nascar legend Neil Bonnett an honour to know a really good man drove the pontiacs for 2 victories at the Thunderdome. Everything you hear about Neil is 100% true its why him and Dale were mates. R I P both.
Thank you Mick I appreciate the kind words man what a good read that was you said it perfectly. I'm going to look at a lot of Bathurst I'm watching it right now. I'll have it up here in a few minutes man you're up early it's got to be the middle of the night there. Thank you mate
there was a serious demo race few years ago in adelaide international circuit (flat) track of the 3 versions of same model ford mustang to promo how the normal street car are as almost like all model mustang have the same DNA.... one version was a road car version (driver???), 2nd one is super V8 version, a grunt up mod racing of the street legal (driven by retired older dick johnson who won bathurst several times), 3rd one is nascar that is fully racing version - even the chassis and body panels, not even a power window but strip one seater-mod with nearly every thing are stacked-strapping of more heavier for more horsepower racing version (driven by marcos ambrose who won nascar races couple of times and also australian V8 supercar series' championship twice).... so basically the street car was given plenty of handy-cap, before the super V8 took off for the chase, after only few 10 seconds the nascar went off chasing the two.... the comparison synopsis of super V8 and nascar were very much at par..... apart from the straights and slight curves very much it's home ground, where the nascar really shows it's propelling tomahawk cruise missile flat on the ground as it torque like a quarter mile dragster racer .... and while the mod street legal grunty version have more the agility on bends and cornering, but along the beefing up to make it a toxic masculine of macho-up machine engines that can easily almost keep up with nascar, but just needing with given effort at the straights (the technical specs and shadow analysis comparison said so).... anyhows it was a photo finish for the two stock racers, while street car was left behind for obvious reason... if you can find this race video then you can make estimate nascar and super V8, and then assess how close they are and the differences.... now imagine bathurst mountain course against the oval road course speeway, and how the races and the cars have to be.... so in the hindsight the super V8 is more of the bootlegger descendant origins.... by the way there's also a Bathurst 12 Hour - Australia's International Endurance Race....
Thank you for the time to explain all that. I got you. All those drivers you mentioned I am quickly becoming familiar with. I will have a look at that for sure. It sounds like a blast. I'm a road race guy with a little bit of experience just having fun here in Middle America. It's called track night in America I run the Heartland Park two and a half mile road course in my Dodge Challenger wide body Scat Pack and it is a lot of fun. That wide body scatty is a heavy car and would probably be hands full and a chore to drive it Bathurst but I certainly would give it a go. Love the stories and the support. Lots of help moving forward for sure. Be well Mate.
@@OccasionalOutlaw if your talking about the same black car dodge charger (in aus I think that's what's it called here) in the movie bullit with steve mcqueen (he had the olive green ford mustang chasing the charger on the hilly streets of san francisco) then it's very much capable, even as an old school, but will be very punished like, "what did I do to ya" screeming engine, and bear in mind the kings of the mountain panorama still manage to total (wreckage beyond) their cars even after few thousands of mastering laps (that they even eat lunch driving at pace speeds).... actually what you are describing wide body muscle classic cars racing in bathurst is the "touring car masters international race series" (google it, there's even youtube videos of them, I think the minimum engine spec to be in the race is a four-barrel carburetor revved between 7200-7800rpm and certain age or older decade car made).... I have driven on the bathhurst track in one of those (maybe 6 or 10 times open weekends every year) occasions when the public can drive around when they are not in use, but there are always the police chase patrol, mobile radar speed cameras and the road portable humps and barrier nearly everywhere (like they're in a money making scheme competition revenue racing, faster than bathurst can get people entry tickets through the gates ).... so really expect the control the cars down to the speed of sunday drive to the pentacostal picnic, as in none of this hell raising chasing their demons.... and if ever you get to bathurst, it's really a marriage of your interest in one area..... since bathurst is the NSW capital of gold-silver fossicking (as in officially having some of the largest ever finds, ex: hill ends gold fields bathurst is still said paying nuggets).... there are hundreds of still chances spots for river panning, snipping and crevicing areas (ex: like around the areas of the vicinity of abercrombie caves of bathurst) but publicly there's a limit size for sluice box for personal prospecting.....actually there is the australian fossil and mineral museum in bathurst confirming this.....ta for the reply, be well too and as an occasionally outlaw don't do it too much, and heaps of cheers m8....
Its a reaction channel mate. Too much prior research would spoil it in my humble opinion. Don't stress about the whingers. Too many Aussies sook over nothing lately 😊
Video does not give you the sense of eleveation change. You climb and descend several hundred feet. This is a normal public road, at the 35 mph speed limit it is terrififying, let alone at race speed.
When I make it to Australia on my Walkabout I'm definitely going to visit Bathurst I've been watching some informative videos on where to visit like the museum the track and other things. I would give it a go if I ever got the opportunity
Love all your reactions. You will love ‘This Is Mount Panorama.This is Bathurst’ the course explained by driver Mark Larkham. Brilliant.
Was going to recommend the same one mate. I got goosebumps the first time watching.
I watch that video every year before watching the big race. it builds the anticipation
I will check it out
@@Precisa72 I think they fixed the grate though, Mustangs can't handle it.
That’s one of the best Bathurst videos I’ve ever seen
Your next reaction has got to be “This is Bathurst” by Mark Larkham. It will explain the track perfectly.
Daryl Waltrip is such a great ambassador for motor sport, he's so comfortable in front of the camera in a completely strange place littered with geological oddities and dumb corkscrews 😂what super entertaining person, and his accent is so much fun.

He raced Nascar for 7 years 28 wins. (Bush, Nascar). He left 2014 to go back home to Tasmania and raise his family. He always had a smile on his face.

And those are Aussie UTES starting the next race. Sedan front, enclosed tray back end, kinda like an opposite "mullet" haircut/.. Party up the front, business in the back..
Jason Bright. Marcus Ambrose was a supercar driver that went to American Nascar.
They keep showing this edited version of Daryls lap but if you can track down the full lap of Daryl & Jason Bright its funnier and you get to see the whole track
I will look for it. Thank you Tim I appreciate the heads up and the support. Take care mate
I second the suggesion for 'This is Mount Panorama' its awesome!
I'll check it out!
Definitely have a look at the v8 utes or even the Touring car masters category at Bathurst
Jason wasn't even trying, it was a gentle punt around the track.😅
Those are V8 Utes big fella, down here those are called utes, short for utility but we shorten everything down under 👌🏻
Kyle that is fn funny mate. I have been getting used to the Ozzy phrasing. Barnsy, Farnsy, Thorpy, Brocky. Love it brother. Thank you for the time and support.
My husband & I used to attend the Easter Motorcycle races at Bathurst & my husband ticked one off his bucket list when he raced there in the mid 1980s. The concrete walls that were installed to protect specators made the circuit too dangerous for motorcycle racing. SBS Broadcasting made a good video called 4 Days of Bathurst that featured Denis Neil calmly commentating as he hustled his superbike through the field during a practice session. Denis was badly injured during the racing when the front wheel fell out of his Honda while wheelying up Mountain Straight.
Bathurst will be on the second weekend in October (I think - it used to be the first) A 1000k race and it will as usually be vaguely immense!
The V8 utes are awesome mate. Def check em out
The driver was Jason Bargwanna. His father and uncle were both racers. You nailed it. The elevation change is ludicrous. It is difficult to walk up or down those sections of road they are so steep.
Marcus Ambrose is an Aussie who went to the US and won NASCAR races mostly on road circuits, particularly Watkins Glen.
I thought it was Jason Bright
You may be right. They both drove for BOC. I mainly based it on the comment that sounded to me like “he’s a little guy” but I Googled it and you are correct.
The race is on in October. I never miss Bathurst day.
He's right television doesn't do the place justice.
Jason Bright was the driver ….❤ I was a bit of a rev head in my much younger days … I’ve driven the Bathurst track on a public day at legal speed, and gotta tell ya, coming down the mountain was scary 💩 and I think I did the dipper and corkscrew at about 10 miles an hour … as for the the moody AHoles, your channel, do it your way ❤
Hello Alliegal45 . Yes I got the name wrong I miss heard. I have it now thank you for the help. Oh so fun to hear about your stories of maybe driving being a bit fast.
Yeah I dismissed the negative stuff right away and continued on. Thank you for the support.
it's the right hand turns that gets him the most
Lmao
I’m happy you are willing to learn about Australian sports
I'm glad somebody mentioned this to me that is so awesome of a race I just love that course and the drivers are crazy
I was instantly happy when I seen the Bundy Profile pic 👍
Then happy again that your name isn't Caitlyn 😅
I look forward to your enthusiastic reactions, love it thankyou
I think you will really enjoy ‘This is Mount Panorama’
Can't wait!
It's actually "Jason Bright" driving old matey around the hill bud.. and in my opinion definitely one of the best ever drivers.!!
Marcos Ambrose Is 2 times Australian Champ than went to America and run Nascar. Won at watkins Glen most times he raced there. Got taken out last time at Bathurst by Greg Murphy. After Balaclava incident(Holden didnt want him to win). Greg Murphy walked away from a car without much damage
Bwahahahaha...I didn't know if he said geological or geographical odyssey! Guess both would be correct! This was fun!!! Ignore the haters, they are miserable people and live to make other people miserable! Love your channel and how you're mixing things up!!!🤠🤠
Hi Donna and thank you . Well said. Hope you had good Fathers Day weekend.
When not used for racing this is a public road.Ive driven it a few times at the speed limit and you appreciate the skill it must take to pilot race cars around it
Jason Bright was the driver and he was a great driver also a decent bloke to talk to.Jason was also able to tame the mountain on 1 occasion and im not sure how many times he started up there❤
Has to be on anybody bucket list 😎👍
Certainly on mine. Going to make that happen.
Peter Brock is the king of the mountain. Good one 👍
It's a pity you've missed the best era of Holden vs Ford that finished in 2017 (see my HSV GTS). If you have time look into those. Enjoying your interest in Aussie motorsport.
I will have a look. thank you Joanne
Marcus Ambrose was Awesome at Watkins Glen ... It's on CZcams Brother ... 😎
Mount Panorama is a very unforgiving track. My ex husband used to run 2 strokes . Tuning is different at the top of the mountain to the bottom. Fast but scary.
Darrell "Will Ferrell" lookin Waltrip. Love his movies
Bathurst is held in September or October most years. The pandemic changed a few things but it's always a spectacle and a party. A few years ago, those who make the rules decided the drinking was getting a bit out of control. They passed a law that said each person could only take one carton of beer into the venue a day. Thats 24X375mil bottles, about 15 fluid ounces, per day. That's a bout three gallons of beer each a day. Some of these guys are serious drinkers.
So that was Mark Larkham interviewing him at the end there. Please react to Mark's description of a lap at Bathurst. It will put you in the picture of what 161 laps around this track is all about.
I'm sure it is on your list by now. But please make it a priority, as it will make all other reactions to footage around this track easier to understand in your own mind.
785 boats I did not realize it was 161 laps. OMG. That is brutal even with two drivers. I'm going to do exactly what you said my next Bathurst will be that one that you mentioned. Thank you for your time and your help I do appreciate it. Be well mate
@@OccasionalOutlaw Mark Larkham's video is called This is Bathurst. He is a former Formula Ford Europe champion, and has raced at Bathurst enough to know it like the back of his hand. He describes how to drive the corners and straights of Bathurst like no one else. His passion and ability to communicate is second to none. Recommended.
@@OccasionalOutlaw Cheers man. I am waiting wit bated breath.
I’m an Aussie but I know this guy is a nascar champion so for him to be afraid says a lot about Bathurst 🤣
He was with Jason Bright, excellent driver!!
Yes I have that down now sorry about the mix-up with name before. I am starting to get familiar more and more everyday with
Bathurst. I am infatuated with it. Can you believe the crazy Australians built a road course on top of a mountain. Lol. I appreciate your time and support good day
@@OccasionalOutlaw no worries, hope you get to visit one day.
The drivers name is Jason Bright
We gotta get some form of AUS and US comps going on, it would be very entertaining! Two best racing nations on earth for sure.
Today, when they top the crest after skyline, the fronts lift off, at the dipper, the left of the car lifts, front and rear.. There isn't a track like it anywhere, it's a day to day road for the public. M. Ambrose, is probs the Best Aussie V8 driver until Gisbergen. I know this will hurt the butts of the "Brocky crowd" but it is just what it is.. Bathurst at it's steepest is a one in six grade.. That's 6 mtrs forward for one meter down.. @ get ferked speed.. lol's.. or.. ( 19.6 ft to drop 3.208 feet.) not even the Ring can offer that level of freckle tightening. just sayin :P
Right you are mate
you awesome mate your videos are great
Thank you for the kind words. Is this a lot of fun or what man I am having a great time. Crazy Australians built a road course on top of a mountain
Jason Bright
Hi, I've only just started watching your channel, and from my point of view. You're doing a pretty good job so far. If you can, do yourself a favour and get down to Australia and go and have a look at the great race for yourself. I think you will be blown away by the entire spectacle.
Trip to Australia is my plan.
We use the term THE DIPPER, not the cork screw they use at other Circuits.
Pay no mind to any bad comments made, we get dickheads in Australia just like anywhere in the world. Just like after your first video, please Jeff, watch this is Bathurst this is Mount panorama. I promise you will love it mate.
No worries mate I dismissed it right away. Going to be a little bit of that I reckon. The truth of the matter is I am discovering daily things I never knew of that are super fun and exciting. I'm going to do a bunch of stuff from Bathurst just for the fun of it. Thank you for your time and kindness. Be well.
Jeff. By contrast try to find Max Verstsppen (F1 driver) on his introduction laps in a V8 Supercar. He looks like he is on the bus going home. Completely different.
Okay I'll check that out thank you kindly. Be well mate.
Watch out for Shane Vanginsberg..just transitioning from V8 Supercars to Nascar
This is a serious steep track in the dipper its hard to actually stand due to the steepness
It was Jason bright driving
RIP the proper V8 Ute, they don't make em anymore, sport up front and in the back room for whatever you need and a dog.
That's a shame they sounded like a lot of fun
If you come to Bathurst for the 3 days I suggest you book accommodation 1 year in advance.
Noted. Thank you
hi jeff the driver was jason bright cheers mate
Thanks Bruce I always like to get that right and had the name wrong. My mistake. Pardon me. Thank you for the help going forward I need all I can get. Be well mate.
Marcus Ambrose was a great racing car driver
Just come and see for yourself no words can describe the race
Planning a great trip for October 2024. What a time it will be. 13 months to go, I think about it daily, (The Mountain), but not just that. There is so much to see and do. I working for the heatwave and the tropical rain, where no mans putting a dog for me. Take care mate
Don't listen to dickheads we have wankers in Australia to, we know your a good bloke,your fair dinkum and love your motorsport, no worries 👍. I know you'll have a good time you remind me of the boys in the team from the states who came out I've worked for Valvoline Rahmoc racing when Bob & Butch had the team here in Australia when Morgan Sheppard and the great man and Nascar legend Neil Bonnett an honour to know a really good man drove the pontiacs for 2 victories at the Thunderdome. Everything you hear about Neil is 100% true its why him and Dale were mates. R I P both.
Thank you Mick I appreciate the kind words man what a good read that was you said it perfectly. I'm going to look at a lot of Bathurst I'm watching it right now. I'll have it up here in a few minutes man you're up early it's got to be the middle of the night there. Thank you mate
Jason Bright was the driver
we race utes, trucks and i'm not sure if we still race cars with caravans......lol
Maye that's still a relatively slow lap. Put him in with skaife or winter bottom and he'd be crying😂😂
LOL. ROFL. Hell yeah.
Thing about Bathurst is, Its a public road yes a public road until race week you cant practice Bathurst
Thank you kindly mate. I will give it a go.
there was a serious demo race few years ago in adelaide international circuit (flat) track of the 3 versions of same model ford mustang to promo how the normal street car are as almost like all model mustang have the same DNA.... one version was a road car version (driver???), 2nd one is super V8 version, a grunt up mod racing of the street legal (driven by retired older dick johnson who won bathurst several times), 3rd one is nascar that is fully racing version - even the chassis and body panels, not even a power window but strip one seater-mod with nearly every thing are stacked-strapping of more heavier for more horsepower racing version (driven by marcos ambrose who won nascar races couple of times and also australian V8 supercar series' championship twice).... so basically the street car was given plenty of handy-cap, before the super V8 took off for the chase, after only few 10 seconds the nascar went off chasing the two.... the comparison synopsis of super V8 and nascar were very much at par..... apart from the straights and slight curves very much it's home ground, where the nascar really shows it's propelling tomahawk cruise missile flat on the ground as it torque like a quarter mile dragster racer .... and while the mod street legal grunty version have more the agility on bends and cornering, but along the beefing up to make it a toxic masculine of macho-up machine engines that can easily almost keep up with nascar, but just needing with given effort at the straights (the technical specs and shadow analysis comparison said so).... anyhows it was a photo finish for the two stock racers, while street car was left behind for obvious reason... if you can find this race video then you can make estimate nascar and super V8, and then assess how close they are and the differences.... now imagine bathurst mountain course against the oval road course speeway, and how the races and the cars have to be.... so in the hindsight the super V8 is more of the bootlegger descendant origins.... by the way there's also a Bathurst 12 Hour - Australia's International Endurance Race....
Thank you for the time to explain all that. I got you. All those drivers you mentioned I am quickly becoming familiar with. I will have a look at that for sure. It sounds like a blast. I'm a road race guy with a little bit of experience just having fun here in Middle America. It's called track night in America I run the Heartland Park two and a half mile road course in my Dodge Challenger wide body Scat Pack and it is a lot of fun. That wide body scatty is a heavy car and would probably be hands full and a chore to drive it Bathurst but I certainly would give it a go. Love the stories and the support. Lots of help moving forward for sure. Be well Mate.
@@OccasionalOutlaw if your talking about the same black car dodge charger (in aus I think that's what's it called here) in the movie bullit with steve mcqueen (he had the olive green ford mustang chasing the charger on the hilly streets of san francisco) then it's very much capable, even as an old school, but will be very punished like, "what did I do to ya" screeming engine, and bear in mind the kings of the mountain panorama still manage to total (wreckage beyond) their cars even after few thousands of mastering laps (that they even eat lunch driving at pace speeds).... actually what you are describing wide body muscle classic cars racing in bathurst is the "touring car masters international race series" (google it, there's even youtube videos of them, I think the minimum engine spec to be in the race is a four-barrel carburetor revved between 7200-7800rpm and certain age or older decade car made).... I have driven on the bathhurst track in one of those (maybe 6 or 10 times open weekends every year) occasions when the public can drive around when they are not in use, but there are always the police chase patrol, mobile radar speed cameras and the road portable humps and barrier nearly everywhere (like they're in a money making scheme competition revenue racing, faster than bathurst can get people entry tickets through the gates ).... so really expect the control the cars down to the speed of sunday drive to the pentacostal picnic, as in none of this hell raising chasing their demons.... and if ever you get to bathurst, it's really a marriage of your interest in one area..... since bathurst is the NSW capital of gold-silver fossicking (as in officially having some of the largest ever finds, ex: hill ends gold fields bathurst is still said paying nuggets).... there are hundreds of still chances spots for river panning, snipping and crevicing areas (ex: like around the areas of the vicinity of abercrombie caves of bathurst) but publicly there's a limit size for sluice box for personal prospecting.....actually there is the australian fossil and mineral museum in bathurst confirming this.....ta for the reply, be well too and as an occasionally outlaw don't do it too much, and heaps of cheers m8....
Its a reaction channel mate. Too much prior research would spoil it in my humble opinion. Don't stress about the whingers. Too many Aussies sook over nothing lately 😊
Thanks Matt. You said it well. To much research ruins the surprise I am looking for. Be well mate.
He was with Jason Bright
Okay I got it thank you
Jason bright
Nascar going to go really fast and turn to the left.
Jason Bright Not Jake Wright
Jason Bright is the name lol.
Yes I heard that I got that wrong pardon me. I got it right now thank you
This. What a rush.
That's what I said. Thank you I appreciate the time
V8 ute racing not truck racing you will enjoy it!!!
Jason Bright, not Jake Rite
Got it thank you
Video does not give you the sense of eleveation change. You climb and descend several hundred feet. This is a normal public road, at the 35 mph speed limit it is terrififying, let alone at race speed.
jason bright he is retired now
Jason Bright, lolol, not Jake Wright!
Okay thank you. I'm learning on the Fly so pardon me for that mistake. That aside wasn't that some fun to watch Jason put him through all those moves.
@@OccasionalOutlaw It's great m8! Loved it and always enjoy your reactions!
Marcos Ambrose is the king of Watkins Glen
its Jason Bright not Jake Wright
Yep I got that wrong I got it right now no pun intended. I do appreciate the help thank you
Hey Jeff.
Wanna have a go. Looks 👀 good for you I recon.
When I make it to Australia on my Walkabout I'm definitely going to visit Bathurst I've been watching some informative videos on where to visit like the museum the track and other things. I would give it a go if I ever got the opportunity
@@OccasionalOutlaw
Bathurst 1000 Race is OCTOBER..
@@OccasionalOutlaw
Did you know that the word you used WALKABOUT, is an Australian Aborigini word for Wander Freely. I guess you were told?
V8 Ute racing is as Aussie as ya get
Jason Bright, not "wright"
this was 2010
Ambrose kicked azz on the street tracks in nascar but on the ovals he was unfortunately average
😂😂😂😂
Jason was goi g SLOWISH.....😊😮😅
good job on your your reaction there's been really annoying and stupid people .
