- We take a closer look at Brad Sherriff's Racetech Performance R32 Skyline, that could currently be Australia's most powerful circuit racing car (not simply a time attack or drag car). There's external footage and lap record onboards from both tracks.
This is no one lap time attack car, but a Sports Sedan that now holds lap records at both Tasmanian race tracks while racing against other wild machines. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Can't believe how well it puts its power down for a rear wheel drive car... What an amazing thing. The coolest racing car in Australia? Would have to be right up there.
The software Brad and MoTeC have put together is extremely clever and can be tuned to a certain torque number despite what the open throttle percentage is. Can basically tune it to be right on the cusp of wheelspin the whole lap! Very clever stuff
@@callanrs2000 That's gotta be dynamic no? Like, on fresh hot tyres you're going to be able to put a lot more power to the ground than on cold tyres. Or going over a crest in the track where you start to lift off the ground you'd get way less power down than coming out of a downhill section where the shape of the road is helping to push your car down into it more. Same with accelerating through a corner vs accelerating on a straight (although that's could be dynamically controlled by the ECU too based on steering angle I guess). Also downforce matters but I suppose they both are torque limited at higher speeds anyway and if there is a situation where the higher speed means they can put more torque down they can just build that into the curve.
Are they able to adjust the ideal torque mid-race or is a pre-race adjustment? Also does it work in conjunction more traditional traction control? (Sorry I don't know if these are things that are known or not).
Regardless, that's a really cool way of dealing with this issue. It'd be a nightmare to try to push that monster hard around a track if it kept trying to spin the wheels in 3rd which I suspect it's capable of, even on slicks.
@@Somerandom1922 I'm not 100% on how exactly it works, but the ECU can calculate from all the sensors when the car is about to break traction and will deliver the highest torque number to the rear tyres regardless of throttle position, without spinning up the rear tyres. Basically gives it the most torque available depending on conditions without losing traction
its probably very very sensitive wheelspeed control. Though you could with enough money and depending on rules have sensors measuring shock/suspension travel to predict tires being loaded/unloaded. Also if you look at the way the car takes off out of the corner and lifts the wheels on the straights, they likely are sacrificing a lot of front end grip to be able to PUT all that power down transferring pretty much all of the weight to the rear
@@nolo2484 It is probably MoTeC’s GPRP Pro software, which works like many modern OEM ECUs and some aftermarket in that the driver “requests” torque (power if that is how your brain needs it worded) via the accel pedal, and the engine determines how much torque is given based on many different inputs, simple example being which gear you are in, and provides this torque to the drive line via a combination of ignition, fuel, boost strategies etc.
It does this to maintain optimal wheel speed on track, which gives the best grip for the conditions and ultimately tunes the engine to what the track/chassis/tyres can manage, and the degree of slip/torque above what’s needed can be varied by a knob to suit the prevailing conditions.
It is nothing that special (as someone here wrote) and as I said is common in lots of OEM ECUs, and is what’s commonly known as “fly by wire”, which most mouth breathers think is just about replacing the throttle pedal-cable-body with electronics.
This is of course entirely different to earlier generations, which sought to optimise output based upon engine parameters i.e. fuel, boost, ignition etc was determine by AFR, V/E, etc, and torque-demand has lots of benefits for manufacturers (e.g. reducing torque to protect drivetrains).
No different to commercial jets. Old school 747s had the controls connected to the engine, flaps, rudders etc, and the pilots input had a direct impact on how they moved. Current planes like the 737 MAX, use FBW, where the pilot essentially asks the computer to move the plane in a particular direction, and it decides how it will do that, and can override/ignore any stupid inputs.
What's more crazy is that the time was set 40 years ago and we only just managed to beat it with all the new tech we have
Who had the old record and in which car? That is bonkers.

@@callanrs2000 Legendary driver, legendary car. Makes sense.
in a r32 gtst lol
The R32 basis is over 30yrs old, but I take your point.
Never felt speed thru 2 dimensions like that before. Magnificent!
Physics have been bent during the production of this film.
My goodness it was amazing seeing this pull away from the field at Bathurst on the 1st lap up mountain straight i couldn't believe my eyes!!
Any footage?
@@sircefiro Not that i can find, ive been looking though it was astonishing to see!
@@mickeynismocat Yeah man, I bet it sounds insane trackside too
@@sircefiro The Fullboost channel just uploaded a vid about the car and it shows some footage of the race it does show it leaving the pack up mountain straight.
It's been banned until it upgrades safety etc..
Brad, you sir...are the Sherriff. Awesome! Takes big cahoonas to drive a car with that much power to limit around a circuit. Respect!
Seeing this car at Symmons was astonishing it is SOOO fast. Its crazy how he held that car together leaving turn 5.
That thing is seriously mad and Brad is a hell of a driver, I bloody love it.
incredible. 1170whp used to be strictly drag car numbers. now they lap them. fuck.
It's absolutely crazy how on edge this car is balanced 100% use of power and grip amazing.
edit still pulling at 280kph while in a curve my god thats WILD!
Yep- spine chilling - and the balls !
The biggest balls in Australia yet also very humble 👏
Pretty impressive watching the car getting all squirrely under heavy braking with the driver handling all that power. Great stuff!!
Crazy car...Most complete Skyline in the world probably...I have special respect for guys who build high power track monsters like this
Too cool a project! Billet block..
A Dutchman salutes you mad Aussies for extracting the best from these R-32's.
Amazing I love the way this thing moves around. The onboard shots are just wild!
What an incredible build 🤯! Much respect from the other side of the pond.
Can we take a moment of silence for those tires…
Omg, the sound of this this is magnificent 😍
A lot of eyes on this thing in the last few days!!! Great video mate, very nicely put together.
The way that moves around under braking reminds me of an 80s F1 car.
SO fricken good. Love how you put this together, raw beast mode and facts only
What a weapon of a car. This man can fkn steer! And how good does that RB sound 😍
The pressure of the wind on the rear spoiler makes the front wheel off the ground. It's crazy.!!
What a weapon absolutely love it. Well driven & sorted top marks to all those involved 👏
Absolute wheelman and what a legendary machine. Hats off, Brad.
Watched this a month ago but thought I’d comment now to say great timing now his Bathurst exploits this weekend has made the car world famous 😂
Awesome clip, thanks for putting it together
That things is utterly unreal, looks like it wants to take off whenever he puts the foot down. Such an insane showing at the mountain I can't wait to see it reparied and going again!
Perfect balance between power and handling what a beast big ups to the guy that built it Wow
Love it. Serious adulations for this build. I'm old. Had an Aussie delivery R32 in the 90's. Have a soft spot for Nissan and Porsche. Serious track weapons even in stock form but this is just wild a a testament to the skill knowledge and perseverance of Brad and his team. Serious respect. Enjoy !
saw this in action at Bathurst today. Amazing sight to behold
What an absolute beast. So much attitude. And what a driver. To be able to harness that car.
His performance shop gets my nod of approval ! What an insane engine ! What an insane engine build ! 😎👍
Wow .. looks like the driver is literally fighting a bear trying to keep that thing on the track!
That car is wild. Absolute legendary status at this point.
It amazing watching it take all those other sedans to Gapplebee's at Bathurst
Dude has massive balls to be able to get that car around the track so quick!
Broke a 40-year-old lap record. Wild!
Hi from the UK, this is more impressive than Any new GTR, Mclaren, Bugatti, I desperately wanted an R32 when they were much cheaper about 17yrs ago, now any example is ridiculous priced, still really like them though
What an animal!! The way it drives, some times it looks like it's rear drive, tail happy, but pulls out of the corners like a rocket. Props to the builders on this one 👍
I should have specified in the video but it's been converted RWD as the class won't allow AWDs with billet blocks. Brad's done an amazing job if tuning it so it puts down enough power without wheelspinning
In that case even more impressive! To get an that power through the rear wheels cleanly. I thought it had to be awd to get on the power so early out of the corners
@@callanrs2000 are billet blocks allowed? Or not allowed in this class?
Yep they're allowed, just not for AWD cars - this Skyline is RWD only
@@callanrs2000 Ah was gonna ask if it was rwd converted, you can tell looking at how it slides around on entry but like you said exits like a missile
This guy is so highly skilled with his machine. The onboard footage at the end. Just crazy
Goddamn. 100km/h faster than my car was going around the sweeper of symmons. Scary enough then, that is insane.
Insane car, insane level of steering from brad. Love to see it
Outstanding ..... well done . Look forward to seeing it do the same on the mainland .
The car is literally massaged by the performance! Wow
Man this thing is on the money. All the respect 🙌👌👌
what a beast of a driver too
First thought was - 1137HP? pff nothing on JunII or Croydon. That moment you see the in car cam - HOLY EFFEN HELL! Brad driving on three wheels most of the way. Mate you are insane. Wow. Wow.
Yep, and this one lasts 10 laps with that power, and goes round corners. Pretty nuts!
I reckon this thing could lap the track faster driving backwards than Jun 2
@@callanrs2000 Yep - that's the really impressive thing - IT GOES AROUND CORNERS !!!!!
Absolutely epic...! What a machine. I love it...!
This thing is an absolute animal
The hardest thing about being Tasmania's fastest circuit racer is finding a double occupancy helmet.
👏 we’ll done
Haha gold
What about six fingered racing gloves? Those are pretty hard to find. 😂
Oh i laughed out loud good one. We love you tasies though And all islanders just a bit of banter haha
Two heads are better than one and you can usually find a map of Tassie anywhere 😁
100% agree with yuh there Alan, I only race at Baskerville once it really is a great layout!
to see the disc's glowing in the daylight is amazing,
I hope you are rebuilding it ,we need to see you set records, what a machine
Terrific! Great sounds. Only RWD? Wow. Cheers from Florida 🌴🤙🏻
Just watched a race with this car tearing up Bathurst, couldn't believe how he just See ya later up the long straight before the climb up the hill,good to see the history about this car, Cheers,
RB26's eargasmic sound!!!🥰🥰🥰
That thing sounds fantastic.
This car has been banned as is by MSA (CAMS successor) as being too fast around Bathurst, reaching 330 odd KPH on Conrod. That it shames Supercars has nothing to do with the ban.
This car is so badass!
We need a 1000+ HP class
Anybody with enough dough can tune a car up to wild numbers, but it takes a champ behind the wheel to wrestle it down! Good on Mr. Sherriff.
Damn that looks like a handful. he's a sick driver.
love it heaving up under hard acceleration. Looks like some front aero is needed!
Interesting looking coil set up.
Absolute Beast 👌💪🤙 .
I lost it when the pod filter popped off after that gnarly dyno run 🤣😭
Omg bro brads r32 is an absolute beast bro fuk yeah it’s just unbelievably just mind blowing it’s leaving black lines as it’s existing corners and on 2 wheels omg that’s nuts weapon of a car I love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This beast is so powerful, it just wants to fly.
Whats crazy is the fact its setup well enough to put heaps of power down to the track, see why at Bathurst it went so quick. I would like to see them turn it down to 50% and see what the difference in avg track time.
It’s so nice to see someone build a car with over 1000 hp and not build it just to go in a straight line for a quarter mile
THE SOUND OF THAT ENGINE IS ABSOLUTELY INTOXICATING.
That’s absolutely next level wow 🙌🙌🙌🤌
Not calling this car the Tasmanian Devil seems like a missed opportunity tbh
This thing is amazing
Drive's it like its an F1 car!! What an Animal!!.
Yep...just saw him bite it at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca going through the Corkscrew. That rear end has a scary amount of wiggle for this power level.
Wow ! mad car and mad man .
Impressive car and driver.
I love that even an Australian built GTR racecar uses a Ford 9inch diff, it's crazy how many different types of extreme builds use them
Proper Job. 👍
The onboard looks terrifying hahaha
Love that fullas racin. Big pwer but handlin aswell. Up hill events hope to see. Cheers
Handling a 1000 Bhp single turbo beast with only rear wheel drive built for Drag Race converted to Track car is a nightmare.
Specially battling against grip weight and turbo lag.
This driver balls is so heavy it has it's own mass to create Downforce for the rear tires to stick on the track.
What worst is it destroy the competition just like the real R-32 GT-R but this time its a rear wheel drive GTS-T.
Insane!
If only Nissan made exact mass production replicas of Sherriff's GTS-T for their dealers at similar price to the BMW Supra. That would be the bargain of the decade.
What a machine :)
He's on that end-stage Gran Turismo build, holy smokes
God damn, that high speed right hander looked fast, even on a screen.
As a car fan on the internet you're bound to see a million japanese turbo four or six cylinders with stupid amounts of power, sometimes you even see them actually using that power. Once.
Seeing one scream past with the pedal to the metal lap after lap gives me a feeling that's hard to describe. This is what tuning cars is about, fcking thrashing them on the track chasing laptime!!
I'll never forget seeing this car just get up and leave out of turn #1 of that recent race at the Mountain, genuinely the coolest motorsport moment for me in a long time.
I understand why we have things like safety regulations and BOP nowadays so I am really fcking grateful the Aussies have found a way to still give us that pure petrol-in-veins feeling of seeing a guy that doesn't give a shit about anything except sending it and going fast.
This is literally the FIRST time I have seen someone bolt the VVT capable RB25 NEO Head to an RB26 or RB30 Block. I just didn't think it could flow what the 26 head can when prepped, but looks like the VVT more than compensates. Good on him for being different and taking advantage of the cheaper Greddy-Style RB20/25 inlet manifolds (No RB26 Tax applied...lol), but after the billet block, I'm not sure that the intake savings would have made much difference. Great to see something different. Great to see VVT Controlling ECUs mature as well and make combos like this a reality, as this wasn't possible 15 years ago without spending a fortune.
Both beast: Driver & Car
skyline has such good powerband for track. they focus on mid range power. this is why they always launch hard after a turn. most spoeed is not always high speed or low speed. mid range is associate to mid range speed as well. so the acceleration in those range match with mid range power.
Iv had the front lift over that small crest on the back straight of baskie on a 1000cc road bike. I thought only bikes could do that. What a beast of a track car that is! 😲😄 twisting the body and lifting the inner front! 😂
Salute to Aussie Driver & The Powerfull Team.. bring back the Gozilla!
what an extreme grip machine
Over 1200hp from the crank.. thats crazy!!!
Welp if I ever find that mystic pot of gold, I know who I want to take care of the handling tidbits of my ride. I know a lot of it is the driver but it's the engineering that went in to everything that puts the power down, absolutely admirable.
it's LITERALLY flying 😱
Beastly.
Beast mode activated.
This is no meger accomplishment. The BNR32 is literally A HANDFUL to drive. While I have experience trying to tame a paltry 400WHP BNR32 of my own, I couldn't imagine what it takes to get this car in and out of the corners with that much power available on tap. While the BNR32 can do amazing things, it's not for the faint of heart or the shallow of pocket.
This reminds me of building monster street-cars in Gran Turismo and playing against race cars. Except this guy has talent. I slammed into a lot of walls.
