You need to watch ex American Nascar champion Darryl Waltrip doing a hotlap with an Aussie gun driver , it's very funny.
Yes a must watch
definitely 🫡
I believe that video with Darryl Waltrip sitting high in the passenger seat ( on top of his soiled underwear) is a complete Geological Oddity based on Theatrical Fear.
@Rassskle love it. He is a hoot. And did some hooting!
💯
No spotting, pure driving skills, 161 laps
With two drivers.
@@PaulA-bv1rtIn turn. Not both at once. Driving time is limited for each driver. All part of the team tactics.
@@PaulA-bv1rt keep turning left
@@RobertCreighton27 ...yes. comment was to say not one driver only for the 1000ks.
Yes 2 drivers but they have a max limit for the number of laps, so the main no can pass 66% or 2/3rds of distance
Supercars drivers are all saying 'what's a spotter?'
no spotters in Supercars mate, the drivers are really remembering their turns and getting a feel for their cars.
161 laps also guys, Mark Larko Larkham was a former driver and one of the leading experts on the cars, they tried to fire him at one stage but the fans revolted and they reinstated him. We love Larko.
full lap bathurst czcams.com/video/OuLfT-lsz_8/video.html
He is a legend at explaining this.
Larko, scaffy and Lowndey are the G.O.A.T.S of Supercars.
This has to be the best promo for any sport the way he describes everything in this race is perfect
As a Bathurst local mate people say "you can't appreciate it till you drive it"
We say "you really can't appreciate the track until you walk it"
It really put it into perspective.
I'm a local too, best place in the world, and the ability to drive it every day is a dream. And yes walking it is a bugger, cheers mate
Indeed ... it is an epic realisation when you drive on the road course ... It blows my mind every time 🫡
me and my mates walk it every year when we go up for the 12 hour, our best time so far is 1 hour 45 minutes. you'd think it would get easier each time but it doesnt. we are planning on "attempting" to run it next year. i doubt we will make it to the chase before we are to tired lol (we start from McPhillamy)
Yep it’s a bitch but love it.🧐😊🥰🇦🇺
as a kid in the 80's walked bathurst alot due to my dad raicng hillclimb there. its a bloody long hike lol
It’s a public road. When you come and visit, you can do a lap and imagine what it would be going 100mph faster.
Just be careful not to exceed 60 km/h. It is a public road with a public road speed limit that is ENFORCED. Regular and frequent police (Highway Patrol) presence. It is a challenging road in parts, even at 60 km/h, so just take your time. No need to speed. You are not in a race.
It surprised me how narrow it was when I did a lap 30 years ago on holiday you dont get that feeling on TV.
It's intimidating enough driving around it at 60kmph in a stock standard passenger car, though you do need to stick to the left of the road
Boys if you ever come to Australia get here in September and stay until early October and you can do NRL finals AFL finals and then the Bathurst 1000 all in a months trip, sports overload for both of you.
Stick around until November and they’d get the Melbourne Cup also.
This the place that a television company used the world's first racecam.
Channel " 7 " I watched it live
@@steventurner8428 Willo’s little green Toyota Celica, I think.
Back in 84/5 I was on the team that built and implemented real time lap scoring feeding in to the Channel 7 feed. That was lots of fun.
Yeah boys. Camp on the mountain. Bring beer 👍🇦🇺
Theres no such thing as a spotter. My son in law, Jack Perkins is a V8 supercar driver and they just know the track. His father, Larry Perkins is in the supercars hall of fame with I think it’s 9 wins at Bathurst. In 1993 after having mechanical issues, Larry made repairs, returned to the track and won that year from last position, the man had balls of steel. Video is awesome to watch. Each year an average of 8 or 9 motors racing at Bathurst were built by Perkins engineering. Jack has a CZcams channel with all the restorations of that 1993 car and his level of detail was impeccable.
Larry Perkins was one of my favorite drivers of that era, and just a master at Bathurst. Jack's CZcams video's of his dad's VP Commodore being restored
is some great watching.
@@xr6woggo it amazed me how he did it by photos alone, car details weren’t documented back then. An overflow bottle in the boot was an old decor bottle which was obviously the only thing available when they needed it, I spent weeks searching where to get another 😂
Scott McLachlan in the Indy cars was a top Bathurst driver also. They don't have spotters, but they have an engineer watching the telemetry and talking with the driver.
Good drivers finish the race.
Great drivers win the race.
Legends win multiple races.
Break pad change is a compulsory thing the teams have to do within the race. It gets done whenever the team decides on it and they'll do it with a fuel load and tyres. By the time a full tank is done the tyres and brakes are done.
I remember back in the seventies there weren't just V8's running at Bathurst, they had several different classes of cars competing against each other for class honours. Also, back then, there were no safety cars, broken down or crashed cars were either towed or winched off the track, or parked where they supposedly didn't constitute a hazard. All while the race was happening.
Yes! Those were the days.
@@DeepThought9999 Well, as exciting to watch as it was, to see cars being retrieved from the track, while the race was underway, it was insanely dangerous, but I wouldn't mind having different classes of cars competing again.
They even did the motorbike GP there for several years, and a few superbikes in the 90s. That would be a massive Nope from me 🤯
seventies and eighties the best time at Bathurst.
Sadly like most sports money ruins it.
Lol its a struggle to even make a passing manoeuvre these days.
Overhyped racing is what we get.
I'd rather watch qualifying
I can't remmber every Q. but here we go.
Brake change: They have a caliper and pad in one and can do it in 15 seconds
Laps: 161 or time certain
Spotters: no, only can talk to their engineers
Fun fact the big pile up you watched was Marcos Ambros and yes SVG a 3x winner at bathurst is in Nascar and honestly is like the Max V of Supercars. Anything he drives, Sprint Cars, Open Wheelers, Nascar, Endurance, Rally, we wins or is right up there.
SVG is a legend and I consider myself lucky to watch him drive
Bathurst 1000 isn't time certain, never has been
@@sirepaulos of course but there is typically 161 laps. That's around the ballpark I'd say, of course it could be more or less but I'd say it's somewhat correct
@@Fr4ggyy Bathurst 1000 (1000klm), formally the Bathurst 500 (500miles) is 161 laps yes, but it has never been time certain. In 2014 it went nearly 9hrs due to the track breaking up & it got red flagged for an hour or so
@@sirepaulos I never thought of that to be fair
This. This right here. Yes! So happy that you guys have now seen this and that some NASCAR fans are learning what real Motorsports is. (Kidding of course)
Still gives me goosebumps.brilliant stuff larko
Mt Panorama is small as far as mountains go but it’s steeper than it looks
161 laps boys. These cars go through this punishment every lap. 2 drivers per car. This is a bucket list race for you boys to experience!!
Mount Panorama is a Public road with private residences, 1000 klms is exactly 620 Miles, Bathurst is a 2.5 to 3hr drive over the big hill west of Sydney i first went there in the 1970's it was called the Hardy Ferrodo 500 , saw the young Brock take on Allan Moffat , The Torana"s taking on the Fords it was a ball , Kangaroos on the track made it interesting , the modern race is 161 laps
There are many different races that are famous , Bathurst stops Australia. It is so different, so technical. It is actually on a public road & when you drive it it is astounding. It has become one of the must do races for drivers around the world & they find it difficult. SVG won Chicago street race because he grew up doing Australian racing
Side question: I've heard about a very short lived inner city street race during the NASCAR season in the past, but I cannot remember where or when. I remember a story about it including a level crossing for a freight line that they could only close down for the main race 🤣
there is a video of a Nascar champion Darryl Waltrip doing a fast lap with one of the guys.
watch his reaction and remember he is probably only going 85% because he has a passenger
Have you seen drift champion Ken Block driving a supercar? Because drifters approach corners totally opposite to a supercar he spins out at the first turn, that caught him off guard 😂
G'day This presenter is an Ex-driver and winner (edit 3rd place 1997) of this race. There is a follow up video about how this episode was made. Drink 2 beers, grab marker, turn on camera and do it in one take. No script. Then let the editing team add the images.
Larko is that good ... absolute legend 🫡
Sorry mate Larko didnt win at Bathurst but he did get a pole one year 👍
@@poppa5289 My bad He has been around racing for years I just assumed he had shared a victory there like it seems most others have. It seems hedid get on the podium in 1997 (Third place).
They used to race motorbikes and sidecars around Bathurst as well. The cars do 161 laps two drivers per car.
Two of my uncles raced motorbikes at Bathurst. My grandfather, a self-taught engineer, used to modify the bikes for them. When they put up the concrete barriers it was deemed too dangerous to race motorcyles there anymore.
The bikes did it in reverse for a lap
The steepness of the down hill will blow you away. The Volvo that went off the track at the end of conrod was a young 33 Scott McLaughlin
Brake pad change at Bathurst.......15 seconds....😎
At the Bathurst 1000 it could take 30 to 35 seconds to fill the fuel tank, a brake pad and rotor change 18 seconds and driver change 15 seconds. Peace out.
1000 Kilometres = 625 miles just so you know.
This is a public road with a 60kmph speed limit when the race is not on. So imagine how good these drivers are, driving that at between 200 and 300 kmph.
Yeah, and it's a bloody handful even when sticking to the 60km speed limit. 1000 feet in elevation from pit lane to skyline. It's a LOT steeper than it looks.
One thing not mentioned, is there are two drivers.
In addition to wheel and brake changes, they also do driver changes and refuel the car and if required, move the car into the garage to do repairs mid race.
It's not over until your car is too broken to continue or you cross the finish line.
Nothing like a race driver, and former Formula Ford champion describing the track. Now watch Darryl Waltrip being taken for a hot lap then being interviewed by Mark Latham, two champions chewing the fat about a great circuit.
Finally American's that understand and appreciate the importance of Bathurst as a race , Much respect guys appreciate the vid and genuine reaction . 👌✌️
Darrell Waltrip is a name that might resonate with you guys. Winner of lotsa NASCAR cups, titles, races? Knows the difference between a steering wheel and a spark plug? Hmm?
Here is Mr Waltrip being a tourist at Bathurst and accepting an offer to ride with one of the guns in his race car around the course - and expecting a scenic trundle with witty banter. Nuh, uh. The driver, being a good Aussie petrol-head larrikan makes sure everyone is strapped in securely, pulls the pin and throws it out the window.
Mr Waltrip is surprised. Watch and listen czcams.com/video/dklKiwz945A/video.html
No oval tracks in Australia
There still is one at Calder Park isn’t there? They tried “AUSCAR” there for a few years from 1988 and NASCAR actually ran an exhibition race in February 1988 but that didn’t last. I think Bob Jane was pushing it and Rodney Jane owns the site now.
There’s the thunder dome at Calder park and some dirt ovals for sprint cars
The Greatest Race On Earth 🇦🇺 Mount Panorama 🫡
Guys I went to the mountain for 15 years with my mates and camped there then decided to move here from Sydney and drive around the mountain at least 3 times a week but still camp up the top even though I live 3 kilometres away from it. It’s something you need to do at least once. It’s amazing.
If you guys ever get the chance to come to Australia, for the Bathurst 1000; you should try to get a seat for a Hot Lap, that will definitely be 'white knuckle territory. Check out "Waltrip's Ride of a Lifetime".
Even driving it at a legal speed limit, ‘The Dipper’ scares the crap out of you on your very first time.
Most viewers don't remember the time before they put the walls all the way along the track when cars would literally go through "The Dipper" with the left front tyre in the air as the hill dropped down directly beside the side of the road, resulting in a little dip in the road surface which is why it got that name.
And driving up throughThe Cutting you realise just how steep it is (yes I have driven it once). There's a reason the race cars do it in 2nd gear.
Also there is the Bathurst 12 hour (timed race) in the middle of February, this is European GT3 cars and is also a great race. On a good year they do about 340 laps (compared to B 1000 at 161 laps). You have the Australians that know the track and the Europeans that know the cars. I have been to both and I would go to either again an probably will in the next few years!
Remember that this is a public road. It's 2-way when not racing. There's houses and driveways! You can see them between the safety walls.
The commentary is by Mark Larkham who was a driver , team manager and now major tech commentator for Fox Sports . The best place is to move around over the whole track over the 3 days but camp with the others who camp on the track in designated camping areas . The weekend is incredible because of the other races that are part of the weekend Aussie Racecars , Super 2 & 3 , Touring Car Masters featuring older style race cars , and lots of things to keep you entertained .
You are the man on the foot and the mind, Believe. SVG Has won Bathurst multiple times and is a legend total legend.
We also have the Bathurst 24 hour race.
No spotters. 161 laps. 2nd Sunday in October.
Yes if you have the means you should go in person. When the race is on you are able to walk around the entire track.
People camp there for the weekend. Beers BBQ’s and fast cars. It’s a great weekend. 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
I can't recommend the video "the greatest motor race EVER" by CZcamsr Josh Revell higher. It is also about Bathurst. But the guy narrating has fantastic storytelling and his videos are really compelling. His video "the tumultuous tale of Mahaveer Raghunathan" is another must watch video. It's about a young guy trying to get into f1 who bless him....is awful. But he's become a bit of a cult hero for how comically bad he is.
Agreed!
This is one of my favourite videos to watch people react to, we're very proud of our race and the fact it's one of the most difficult and technical circuits in the world ❤ and you reaction is the best so far, thanks guys 🏆
Now it makes sense why Van Gisbergen won Chicago. Different breed of road racers in supercars
Something that a lot of people that watch this, don't mention or realise, is that the gentleman talking you through the lap is Mark Larkham. He does know what he's talking about, he too has done many Bathurst 1000 races and has won his share, and had his share of crashes too. He 'retired' from racing to be a commentator and spec analyst for the V8 Supercars.
Room for everyone. Its a big track. Hi from Sydney.😉 🤘🤘
On their own every lap.
I have been going for about 18 years and it is insane. Best race to watch and go too.
You must watch your American Nascar champion Darrol Waltrip do a lap of Bathurst with a supercar driver. You will love it, it's hilarious.
I never get sick of this video. Larko knows his shit, the man is on an Earnhardt level of fame here.
Don't forget the weather, it could be sunny, rainy and hail. And that's in one lap.
I'm from the UK, but make a point of watching races from Bathurst. It's a special kinda' crazy.
The Darryl Walltrip lap is funny as hell
This track is actually a public road, you can drive it in what ever you drive, be it at 60 kph!!
ever since they made this, i've watched it every year to get ready for Bathurst. Grew up a Larko fan as well
still gives me chills, even watching like this
They held Motorcycle races around the mountain from the 1930s up until 2000 - some legendary rides and stories.
Watch a race....you can find copies available... its worth it - and if you are going to Aussie - make sure it is during Bathurst week.
Racing at places like Mt Panorama, is WHY Shane Van Gisbergen did so well at Chicago's Street race, he Laps that up. Drivers race all over Australia, to One Day be good enough to race that Mountain circuit.
Watching the race on tv doesnt do it justice either, this track is super steep goin up and down, its a nightmare to walk up, i go every year and one year we took our bikes, couldnt ride up, took us a good half hour to get to the top walking our bikes, then from top to bottom it took about 2 minutes, bloke in a car pulled alongside and said we were doing 90kph goin down the mountain, if you have the chance do yourself a favor and get to this race in october, YOU WILL BE BLOWN AWAY!
Larry Perkins won this race years ago after pitting after the first lap. Passed everyone in the race and won. That was a classic race to see.
You should also know that most of the year this is a public 2way roadway. People live on properties and homes inside the track.
You will never see anything like it, the shoot out, parties on the hill, companionship, rivalry, it’s next level, such a good vibe
The Mount Panorama circuit measures 6.213km long, with Sunday's race scheduled for 161 laps - split between a main driver (who pilots the car solo for most of the year) and a ring-in co-driver, including many previous full-time racers. Fot the rest of the year the road is a Public road.
Mt Panorama !
161 laps over 6 hours,
Average Speeds of between 60kph ( 37 mph)
And 300kph (185mph)
Average 50 gear changes
Per lap , these cars go through the ringer ! Up and down hill while turning left and right ! Simply put !
It's real ball's to the wall
Racing ! A very proud Australian 🇦🇺
I’ve been around that track on a sports bike going as fast as I could. The track was closed to the public for a charity event and we were there as a motorcycle club taking people around on our bikes to raise money for that charity. But before the event started we had the track to ourselves and did a few hot laps.
One car, one driver (at a time anyway), no spotter, 161 laps in 30+ degrees Celsius… there truly is nothing like it, at least in the southern hemisphere (in my opinion)
A true test of skill, endurance and sheer willpower and determination. Definitely something worth watching in person or at least live, at least once in your life. Having grown up in Bathurst, the Bathurst 1000 and the Armourall 12 hour are some of the closest things you can get to a religious experience when it comes to motorsports in Australia
I’ve been to the track quite a few times and walked it a couple of times as well, this track takes for ever to walk and the inclines and drops in this track are far more extreme in person. It is definitely a lot more daunting in person over watching it on a screen
Nothing better than camping on the hill watching the race having a BBQ and a cooler full of beers
I enjoyed the racing in the 80s and 90s more than today.
A word about "the grate".
If you actually run your front tyre over the grate, you are already nine tenths of the way into an accident.
Have a good look at the footage again, the front tyre is so loaded up it is throwing smoke.
Again, if you run over the grate... you're already nine tenths of the way into a huge hit.
I remember earlier there were no curves at the end of Conrad Strait, you needed to slow down for the final corner to complete the lap. The curves were put in because enough drivers didn't slow down sufficiently and with their speed, some cars would lift off.
Hi Guys, big fan , I’ve been watching Bathurst since I was a small child. I’m now 43. This race is the biggest race of our calendar 2 drivers 1000 km 6 hours 161 laps of mayhem. Only the best driver can conquer the mountain. No spotters only relying on muscle memory and the car under you. The brake change they talk about take around 25 seconds to do so they can do with I. There normal pit stop must teams will change brake pads twice in a race and rotors at least once if not twice depending on on the teams set up if the brakes and rotors are one unit. Mark Larkham who commentates this video is one of the best old drivers that use to race this course but to tell you one more fact. The king of the mountain as he is known here is Peter brock who won it 9 times. If you need any more info on Bathurst or Supercars in general oil only two happy to help.
God speed,
Shannon coster from Australia
P.s sorry for the long comment .
With the brake changes, it's not just pads. They change the disks as well.
I have seen a few clips from some reviewers, so obviously they are out there clips of the late Peter Brock ( a absolute legend of this race and Australian Motorsport), actually with in car camera shots and speaking to the tv audience and commentary team from the car over the radio whilst driving in the race, complete with doing the gear changes and everything. There would also be other clips as well.
The only spotters are weather spotters at the top of the mountain, looking to the west for rain. Because it can be wet at the top of the mountain and dry at the bottom or vica versa. The drivers are on their own otherwise. Only radio contact with their engineer.
Brake pad changes take about 15-20 seconds, some teams just change the pads others change discs, calipers and pads as one unit, and are usually covered by the fuel drop.
There is a CZcams video of Darrel Waltrip being taken for a lap of the Bathurst track.
There is also a CZcams video of the King of the Mountain, Peter Brock (RIP), doing a lap while chatting with the commentators.
BTW it's a public road the rest of the year.
Nascar is going in circles. Bathurst is a steep mountain race course unparalleled anywhere in the world. The hardest long distance race anywhere.
1000 feet up for 2 miles and 1000 feet down for another 2 miles, average speed over 110 miles per hour. For 161 laps shared between 2 drivers.
It is a narrow single lane public road that normally has a 35mph speed limit.
Not for the faint-hearted, and a dose of insanity really helps the drivers...😎🇦🇺
Great vid as an Aussie love my Supercars and Bathurst takes the top but you guys probably would appreciate my home cities race as well, it comes in as a super close second to the mountain it's the Adelaide 500 and it's simply an insane street race, two 250kms races held over 2 days 1 race Saturday and 1 race Sunday. It use to be the season starter for the Supercars but now it's the season finisher
G'day to you, no sorry this aint Rally, I had a Laugh at the Thought of co drivers in Supercars, thanks for that Mate!
They do have the crew in there ear talking obviously brotha 💪🏽
It's one thing to do this race in a modern, purpose built racecar, with mega brakes, mega tyres and being totally designed to do the job, but this race was founded on things like studebakers with V8s and drum brakes.
Even when Holden first won in 68, the drivers were told not to use the (solid, not even ventilated disc) brakes because they wouldn't last a lap.
Spotters? There are no "spotters" in Supercars". The neasest thing to "spotting" is the team telling their drivers that someone may have a mechanical of fuel issue but the whole "inside/outside" BS in NASCAR is absent from Supercars. It is all up to the guy behind the steering wheel.
I have made my pilgrimage is to Australasian motorsport's Holy Land. It is a trip that every true motorsport fan should put in their calendar at least once. I have walked most of the track and it is FAR steeper than it looks on TV. I traveled to Bathurst on Thursday, spent Friday at Brock Skyline and Saturday and Sunday in the grandstands along the start/finish straight (NOT "straightaway") then traveled home on Monday.
The reason for the brake pad changes is because of the massive wear and heat degradation that happens around the track but especially in The Chase. But there were some issues with brake disks so now it is a compulsory disk and pad change so the teams have quick change packages that allow them to accomplish that change is the same time it takes to do a driver change.
Best part - it's a public road 345+ days a year. You can drive up & do as many laps as you want. Just remember, the local police have absolutely no sense of humor towards speeders on the track, and it's a 40kph speed limit (IIRC). Being a public road, there's also "Track Access" periods built in to the schedule on race weekends, for the residents to get in or out. And, yes, there are residents...
Loving the agadoo reference daniel
The race is 161 laps but there is also a time limit (7 hours?), so if there has been a lot of stoppages and the time limit is reached tge race is stopped and a winner declared irrespective of how many laps remain.
It's not your usual short video content, but you should check out the documentary "Brock: Over the Top"
It's primarily about Aussie/Racing/Bathurst Legend Peter Brock, but a lot of it is focused on his Bathurst races with interviews from his fellow drives and competition, who are legends in their own right.
It's a really cool feature length Doco (just under 2 hours) and through it you get to see the evolution of Mt Panorama and the cars that they drove on it.
I been 6 times, camping in mainly sold out each yr, then sites the don't sell are generally gone within an hr. Supercars don't have spotters, it's all driver an car setups, only time they hear from there engineer is if something major has happened. It's 161 laps takes about 2mins 5secs to complete a lap. Brake pads are done once during the race, takes less than 30seconds for rotor and pads to be changed. They get about 30laps per tank running on E85 fuel.
Not sure if anyone has said it, the crash with the blue car at 9:40 is when Chaz Mostert broke his leg. If you can handle watching it, you can see it happen from the onboard video.
Either way, this video is a must watch whenever it comes up. Bathurst is an awesome race every year, watch it this year if you haven’t before.
The recent race at bathurst had someone try to make a move on the cutting. Took out half the field. Everyone knows if you want to make a move, wait til the top of the mountain
You missed the starting intro of Larko drawing the circuit & describing it as he does it. Then you get the start.
Now that you know when it is, put it your calendar and watch it - all 1000km of it!
Panorama is a word used in English countries. It means a big view or vista. The circuit is a long way from flat. It also has right hand turns.
There are no spotters at Mt Panorama. The drivers have to remember when to break and when to hit the gas. The race goes 161 laps. They have 2 drivers that weekend. For 50 weeks a year the front straight is a road between Bathurst and Orange in New South Wales
The Bathurst 1000 is 161 laps up and down a MOUNTAIN.
That corner down the bottom of Conrod(named so because a lot of conrods let go down that straight) they go through it foot flat to the floor at around 300km(around 186mph) then they “need to wipe a bunch of speed of to get through the next corner.
