@@ianvader4697 Yeah that happened once. Once only, 72 was a wet race also. I love Holdens but lets face it, the LJ, either in series prod or imp prod was not that fast a car, you need to look no further than a current day Nc field for the evidence of what either car is capable of.
When did any falcon ever finish 1st to 6th at bathurst in the 70s ( or ever) ? Let alone set the fastest lap and record on lap 161 ?!? Pretty sure the phase falcons were around 20 secs per lap slower at bathurst than the A9X torana ;-)
@@markrhodes8885 ah but you can . I will say again , when did a falcon ever win bathurst by 6 laps and set a lap record on last lap ? When did a falcon finish 1st to 6th at bathurst ? Even the newer faster falcons never achieved anything close , and by your own logic the newer ones were faster so more likely to do this ;-) lol . No sorry , no falcon ever compared to the A9X torana . It is what it is
Looked like the shift light was set for around 7200 rpm. Frequently hit 7500. Hit 7800 at least twice and it looked like maybe 7900 once. My guess is the revs took their toll. Good fun until she broke.
Plausible theory. I'll help with that. Our guy might have left oil on the track from whatever broke. The blue and yellow car comes around and loses traction and goes off course.
Good job it was a racing sim, just reboot the game and your car will be like new again! BTW that was some real detailed and very realistic 'smoke effect' what graphics card are you running? ⚠️😲👍
Mallala? I reckon I came off just before that corner on a big Suzuki a lifetime ago under brakes at about 180 clicks…pissed blood for the first 2 weeks and had 6 weeks off works with ‘internal injuries’.
Probably not a welcome comment but pretty harsh on the changes - from what we could see, the car would maybe have been better balanced by later downshifts and earlier upshifts.
Gotta love all the tough guy Holden vs Ford arguments, mostly made by guys who drive their wife’s diesel people mover. It’s okay, if only things were different we’re sure you too could have been a race car driver on Sundays.
I dearly hope you still get comments from your RU-vid channel. Heck yeah Ian… Wildest car you own!!!! You know that’s true. NA big Hp is not like boosted Hp. This beast is edging 800hp at 383ci… that’s like no other plain and simple. 🤜🏼🤛🏼🇦🇺🍀🍀🍀😎😊
@@brendotec7241 All the magnas I have seen racing in this class are AWD. not saying this is but it would explain why it qualified ahead of the Torry especially if the track was damp
Smooth is fast, banging rev limiter is not smooth. Though loss , lesion learned. Go back and watch this yourself , study your mistakes . A team boss would be pissed if he saw you driving like this. It should be like a Sunday drive with pace on. Cool Calm and Collective . Your car will thank you for it, so will your bank account. All the best mate.
It’s a race car, it’s meant to be high in the revs. A team boss would more likely be pissed if you started letting everyone by because you were granny shifting at 4000rpm
Shitbox holden not sure why this video exists ..if there not majorly upgraded with aftermarket parts 5 grand an it would blow up shit a diff or blow gearbox.
Talking about weight saving.... the ford's don't need rev counter's and shift lights and all the associated wiring and stuff.... when the engine stops pulling. . change gear
Always wondered what the difference was between Holden and ford!!! Even the wheels are not inter-changable...then I got it... ford's... bigger faster better
Next time your Torana dies, don't through the damn bonnet open like that if there is smoke coming out... Otherwise keep up the good work, thats one less (I assume) 308 boat anchor in the world and the world is a better place for it...
+Darryl Kelly I didn't know you could win 10 Bathurst endurance races, or formula 5000 championships with a boat anchor. I think I remember Eddie Tassone made 1500 rwhp, on 98 octane juice with his holden v8.Not bad for a lightweight piece of shit designed in the mid 60's.
+Darryl Kelly P.S all the other cars on the track sounded shit compared to that 308.Once she stopped running, all I heard was the sound of punz mobiles.
