Murphy’s “Lap of the Gods” vs Gounon’s Record Lap - A Newfoundlander Reacts 

This is where Race-cam was invented , To cover the great race & now it is used worldwide.

There us an old clip where Peter Brock chats with the commentators during a race. He gives a run down of a whole kap... Brockie was/is a legend.

Did you know that the first dash cam in racing was done at the Bashurst 1000 "The first “live” in-car camera coverage was delivered in 1979"

Race cam was invented for Bathurst Changed the world of motor sport forever !

I didn't appreciate how fast they are going until I drove around Bathurst That track is narrow and steep The museum there is amazing

Check out Larry Perkins last to first Bathurst . Larry was and still is a brilliant race driver as well as a brilliant engineer and gentleman . As a privateer he had to develop his own cars , he was so good at it some of his development and ideas were banned as the other teams could not keep up , all of the development was within the rules at the time

Hi Kev, I'm so glad to see that you are enjoying our major sporting events. As you rightly pointed out that this weekend is the NRL GF. Next weekend we have the Bathurst 1000 or as it is known as the great race. And early next year, we have the Bathurst 12 hour race featuring GT3 cars. That is definitely worth a look.

We’re now 3 seconds a lap quicker, but to to be the first 2.06 lap was pretty awesome. And on a side note, Australia was the first (invented) the in car camera shots 👍🏻

They used to race bikes around Bathurst on the mountain during easter time. There's some good videos showing the good old days of this.👍

The gearbox was manual back then. It is sequential now, but Supercars rejected steering wheel paddles, so they still have to reach for the gearstick. Supercars are down to 2.03 lap times, and I would not be surprised to see sub 2.03 this year.

I’ve been lucky enough to experience hot laps around Mt Panorama, definitely an experience I will never forget. Pretty sure it only happens once a year, usually towards the end of November and run by a business called Adrenaline.

Some trivia for you it took 7 years for somebody to beat that time of Murphy, older V8 supercars used H pattern shift, new gen supercars uses sequential shift. Supercars are normally quicker up and down the straights but the GT3 cars have lots more down force so they are a lot quicker through the corner and across the mountain. Also that AMG that set the record wasn't a normal GT3 race it was modified had more power and downforce then a normal GT3 car.

That's a different class of car. The first is V8 supercas. Gm vs Fords. Up until recently it was Australian made Gm Holdens vs Australian made Fords. But now it's American made GM vs Fords. It's lost a little bit of it's home grown pride.

My brother, a NRL writer mentor, media mgr , podcaster will be at Grand Final and will probably have an article in Rugby League World mag.

Just so you understand why there's such a gap in the two times, Greg Murphy's lap record was in 2003 while Jules Gounon's time was only in February this year.

The time difference is because different class of vechiles The one murphy drive is based on 4 door street car by regulation Then modify under strict rules of modification Where the 2nd car is designed for racing and there for have less restrictions on modification So why you get the difference also hughe ammount of new technology in second vechile I think it might be running paddle shifting for gear change from memory so hands never come off the wheel Murphy's car is a vechile you could buy from show for every day use then modify under race rules So one of the biggest down falls in this is the flex in body un extreme pressure in cornering They try to stiffen bodies as much as they can with roll cages but they're still mounted to a flexible body frame Where's the second one designed for racing and those areas are beeft up by factory even though sold to public Which give solid foundation for roll cage to stiffen up car more and easier to set up with less comprimise Same with brakes and tyre packages the Murphy's one has half the brake and tyre package by design from manufacturer and race organisers rules Its why when overseas drivers used to struggle and find it more challenging to race our cars the same horsepower But lot less brakes and tyres which means you have to drive the car withnsome reserveand look after the vechiles to get the best out of them You have about 1000 hrp under foot 9 to 10 inch brake rotors and about 10 inch tyres width This is why it attracts many overseas driver's due to the challenges to the driver from the vechiles and you do it right get similar time's But quite the same but it all relies on drivers skills rather then just the best car Many have won races with not the best car but by strategy and drivers skills on looking after the vechiles to the end Our vechiles where as much a challenge as track and fitness Thats why they band 4x4 cars like skyline and ford sierra they where 4x4 6 and 4 cyclinders with turbo and designed for racing Which beat super cars and why rules where changed as not even playing field To race a super car it has to be manufactured for public family use There used to race Nissan Volvo which was turbo but family format and they had variable success and more even playing ground There's many formats can go faster around the track but are design race car with very little to no compromise in handling power or braking tyres Its why called laps of the gods as with the limited technology compared to these later vechiles and millions of dollars in technology They haven't got alot faster But the biggest difference is the modern one will do those times repeatedly during race from the technology Where's murphy vechile you'd be pushing the vechile to get 2 to 3 laps in total out of vechile as harsher on everything due to restrictions Also i think from memory there's a maximum speed restriction on all of them by race body for safety reasons This way it put the focus back on technology handling suspension braking and driver skill economy rather then who has the fastest vechiles Part of the trade of in the tace is gear ratios high fast in straights slow through corners and take offs To low fast in those but slow in straights So you need to comprise on both to get the best from vechiles and every team has their strategy on whats the best way to set vechiles up You need to look and watch road courses they race on Adelaide where im from have one and always event full and drivers say a very technical track they race on known as concrect canon as all concrete walls blind corner narrow track There's alot of driver's say its their favourite track as it challenges them especially the heat Some have had to stop pull in pits due to heat exhaustion and teams literally have to lift drivers out vechiles carry them into shed This is why we developed cold suits and over the year technology got better they use dry ice in a box that the drive plugs into and they have a vest on with tubing running through them for the cool air from dry ice We had several drivers die in accidents and the corner believe its due to heat and it effects driver minds to operate vechiles Then due to lack of fluid there's little around the brain and organs so in a accident they bounce around in the body doing irreparable damage to organs and brain Its why you see they have drinking hose in front of Helmets and during pits they fill them up on outside to keep them hydrated Some team managers have to remind the drivers to drink as so focused they forget to drink This is why they have driver change during longer races Driver's can lose quarter of their weight in a race day The vechiles can be 60 + degrees inside and get so hot drivers feet blister from the hot floors or pedals on hot days Same with hands they can blister up from so many gear changes even with gloves on Some of the unique things drivers have to deal with But you should watch road course's Adelaide Queensland and Victoria Adelaide and Queensland are city races with concrete walls Thought you might like some more information you wont get online only by watching Its why they called brock king of the mountain they had nothing no fluids cool suits and originally do full race start to finish He won the most Bathurst races and you should look him up for yourself Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍

Gday Kev, just thought I would let you know, the NRL grand final time is different to the AFL. I’m in Adelaide and I believe we are exactly 12 hours ahead of you. NRL grand final is 7pm Adelaide time on Sunday evening, therefore 7am Sunday morning your time. 👍

The NRL grand final is on at night so a little more time friendly for you than the AFL.

Check out Aussie inventions, and yes dash cam is just one of them

Love the reaction, shirt fkn awesome. lol

You were busy talking to the camera as Murph drove back into pit lane & you missed a key point - all his competitors coming out of their garages & applauding him. Never been done before or since. Phenomenal lap to be over a second clear of top, top level competition.

Bathurst long weekend lol , Friday to Sunday

Just so you know Murphy is a Kiwi.

40? Oh come on Kevin you're still only a puppy 😂

Phenomenal lap, Murph flogged the ass out of it the entire lap, 110% a legend.

Greg reckons he stuffed up a gear on top of the mountain, so if he didn't do that, he would've been a tad quicker!

NRL Grand final AEST 6:30 pm Pre-Game Entertainment Commences - headlined by The Kid LAROI 7:30 pm Kick off: NRL Telstra Premiership Grand Final - Melbourne Storm v Penrith Panthers

The former Holdens and Ford V8 SUPER CARS also did 300km down Conrod Straight. But there is a fair difference between the those V8 Super Cars and GT3 race car which the second clip was.

Going for Syd. in AFL and Melb. in NRL lol the irony.

I think we have created and converted a Canadian to be an Aussie and wants to be here. 😎

Don't forget bathurst is this weekend.

There a time a few years ago they had Vodafone F1 team came to Bathurst and they put their car on the track for the fans to see. Of course the F1 car has been the fastest car ever to do a lap here.

There's another video where they did an F1 car as well

have you ever watched the video of timo bernhard in a porsche 919 hybrid evo absolutely fanging it around the nürburgring-nordschleife? highly recommend. i rewatch it every now and then and it blows my mind every time.

Larry Perkins mate, last to first Bathurst 1000. 👍

BATHURST SOON!!! Thu, 10 Oct 2024 - Sun, 13 Oct 2024 (be Wed to Sat basically for you). And its now basically GM USA vs Ford USA, Camaros vs Mustangs, easy to pick a side.. (Holden was a GM company, so you are either GM or Ford)

Bathurst 1000 the longest car race event in the world that's 1000 kilometres that's equivalent driving from the city of Melbourne to the city of Newcastle Australia's third oldest city behind Hobart Tasmanian that is the total of 10 hours

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xsOsYEFx_AM.htmlsi=Oxd3SO2LQfQ7wmS7 this is a link to people walking the Bathurst course.

You need to check Scott McLaughlin record lap....

Hey hey it's ya Goofy m8te from Australia..I don't watch it anymore No HOLDENS at Bathurst anymore.just all American cars now..they might as well make the circuit oval...lol...ya Goofy m8te from Australia

The AMG GT3 is a very different car...thats almost like a formula one car. The V8 supercars are homologated and limited in hp and many other things to keep it close racing

oops sorry next weekend

Can't stay up for sport ? Whimp ! NFL is now being screened here in Oz. 2 consecutive games from 3a.m. to 10a.m. ......... Don't take it personally (the whimp comment is with a smile)

STARTS TOMORROW m8te
