TOP GEAR STAR DRIVES CRAIG LOWNDES' V8 SUPERCAR - Colour 

It is hardly a Holden. They resemble the shape. And it stops there.

He didn't say it was the best hot lap he's ever had, you muppet.

@@lukedorrington9712 hater

@@tanthaman he isn’t a hater you 🤡 he is a realist, there’s nothing “Holden” about that car except the shell, educate yourself kid

@@lukedorrington9712 Yep , Not a Holden - V8 supercars was Skaife and Co Driver based concept as it was more about their vanity than the cars and boy Skaife was vain - They wanted it to be about who was the best driver where the punter wanted it to be about the cars. V8 supercars ruined Holden and Ford as a bloke could not buy one so may as well get a AUDI, or some ricer - Is a reason why the 70s cars are worth so much more than a 2000s one and they were hardly built for longevity.

Should be called Blokes getting out of Craig Lowndes V8 Car......Super !!!!!

Clarkson drove through car.

Yes, i did like it and make it LOL likes. You're welcome

Clarkson didnt drive it lol

@@andeeznation yeah he did theres footage of him driving from inside he looks squished up.....lol

And it saved Lowndes life in 06

Speedyway drivers in the 70s actually

It's called the Larry bar.

@@ls1pr3dator9 in 05

Because this is B-roll footage. Obviously.

You got to hear all that v8 goodness... what's not to like?

@@skylined5534 we clicked on the vid expecting to hear them talking and reactions if not we would e have looked up lowndes’s Vodafone be commodore raw footage

Wow, lucky man that would’ve been awesome to go for a thrash around Hidden Valley with Larko!

That's a big call

also reduces the chance of a wheel and tyre entering the cabin.

@@BornAgainCynic0086 this^^^^^

basjon ingold didn't lowndes cop a tyre in the windshield at Bathurst mid 2000s? lucky it was there

Lemiwinks Yes in 2005

Yes that bar is the reason Lowndes is breathing!

Yep it’s ironic that JC would mention the bar that saved the life of the bloke who was driving him.

Isn't it just ? Proper British irony ...

I'm sorry you lost a great enemy.

There is 10 more seconds mate.

For once Motor-Mouth Wanker Clarkson had little to say.. these edited clips were a bit of a disappointment, I hoped to see some fast laps with the Poms driving...

SCOTTI BOY. And his wife says he exaggerates way too much lol.

Lolzilol. They have had limiters for years and most of the top drivers are on the limiter into the chase

Because it's so well known, possible penalties for racing on bathurst public roads include but not limited to A : having your balls lowered into a live toaster. And B : Being pelted with cyanide - coated hedgehogs . After that they get really serious 🤣🤣🤣

@@colinstewart1432 Echidnas! We aint got no hedgee hogs here in OZ. Having your nuts shoved into a live hot toaster sound more appealing to me than going for a run with one of the better drivers around that track. It is an awesome track but, bloody scary, and I have done a bit of racing myself. Bathurst is something different, something good but scary as hell too.

@@lorditsprobingtime6668 I reckon you're right there. I'd still like a drive round there with one of the top drivers though. 👍

@@colinstewart1432 I have no way of knowing if you're in Australia or if so, whether you've ever been around that track but, it is kinda legendary for good reasons. I can't think of any other track quite like it, it's very fast in places, near 200 mph fast! It's shockingly tight, twisty and bloody steep going down through the very tight twisty's coming down off the mountain and despite having some racing experience myself, I'd be staining my pants, even if I was driving, if I was doing it at race speeds. If you're not personally experienced with it, and I did grew up religiously watching what way back was the Hardie Ferodo 500 (miles back then) and yet was completely surprised by just how insane these guys are to be screaming around there, especially that twisty section coming down, holy crap it's so much steeper and tighter than you ever could realise just watching the race. The record (unless it's been broken since) is 2.03 which is just NUTS!!! I honestly can not get my head around covering that whole long circuit in that tiny amount of time. There's plenty of videos about racing around there but if you want to see a pretty good example of a VERY fast qualifying solo lap you could search for a vid by a channel called "IWrocker" titled " NASCAR Fan Reacts to the ACTUAL Bathurst FASTEST Lap Record " which gives a 'pretty' good idea. The same guy has another one titled " American Reacts to Walking On Mount Panorama - It's Huge!! - Bathurst, Australia " which 'helps' give you a bit of an idea how crazy the track is. It's nearly 600 foot of elevation change from top to bottom, a lap is 6.213km around and can be as steep as 1 in 6.13 which somehow doesn't sound that much but, drive around it and for me, especially the run down off the mount and that stretch which has destroyed SO MANY cars seems impossible when you actually drive down it, even at legal road speeds, the speeds they fly down it just seems utterly impossible. I do agree it would be a huge adrenalin buzz going on a hot lap with one of the top drivers, just not for me, I'd have died of a heart attack about 3 seconds after he took off. Getting around that track in barely over 2 minutes after having been around it and seeing exactly how tight, how twisty AND how insanely fast it is in places just does not seem even possible.

@@lorditsprobingtime6668 Thanks for that I appreciate it. As it happens, I'm in UK.👍

I know, I was totally devastated not one piece of in-car racing lap footage!! What a waste of a unique experience with some of the greats in that awesome sounding machine! 👎👎

Shayne Jacobson?

All I know is,.... "He's called the Stig" 😜

He tried Bathurst a few years ago...he got in everyone's way..top drivers wanted to kill him

Australia. V8 supercar. thats a really one one though. thats a proper aussie car

Three actually mate. Britain, Australian, and Yankydoodle!
