well, ok, but I would like to see a return of the touring cars as real cars you can buy and not a full tilt race car made of tubes that just looks like a road car
The four door looked like it had a failure of some kind, like a jammed throttle. Front brakes locked up, but not slowing at all. Glad to see both drivers ok. Sad to see these two classics damaged like this.
@@SirDaffyD and having had a stuck throttle once in my life, I can’t relate to just how much they push you along even with the brakes locked. Luckily in my case it wasn’t on a race track at high speed.
@@peterj5751. I too had this happen, but mine wasn't stuck as such. The return spring broke. Not fun when this happens in a hotted up V8 LX Torana in traffic at around 70kmh, and all off a sudden you start excelerating at a great rate of knots. Lucky I was quick enough too turn off the ignition and put it in nuetral and roll too the side off the road. Still scary enough though. Always had two return springs after that.
Stuck throttle, or failure of the rear brakes - more likely the latter going by the footage from the start of the lap. Get to the end of that straight with only half your brakes, it'll look like the throttle's stuck.
Who out there really cares about the current "super cars".Been to every Bathurst since 1972 and there is no one on the Mountain nowday's.The only thing getting bigger is the ticket price.
@SirDaffyD I realise that. Many classic race cars in NZ have glass guards, bonnets and even bumpers because original parts are so difficult to come by.
It’s all over for V8 Supercars for now. The Aussie passion & love of V8 Sedans is gone. An occasional US/UK/EU vehicle participating just added a bit of fun to the field but to have a complete field of Stangs & Cameo’s all with the same specs is as boring as batshit for True Blue Aussie Revheads… RIP Supercars
100% lot’s of motor sport categories have died trying to end disparity in racing , isn’t that what draws people to racing supporting the cars and brands that we like?
Bet on a failure of the proportioning hardware, and zero rear braking. No ripples on the roof of the 84, looks like that modern cage kept the body square from the firewall back.
The cars of today are boring as *UCK!!!! and its too controlled by big sponsors, computers and its not ford vs holden anymore!! So its just shit all round!!! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺😊
Lol wth...? You have to de-tune a car to be able to race it in Australia when it comes from NZ.... Is there anything more messed up about Australia...?? Just when i thought id seen it all too...
@@meganjay30 Then you have a very sheltered life.. Would it be alright to use an F1 car? Should the rest of the world conform to NZ rules or are you just hating on Aus for some small minded petulant reason.
@@imstillherewatching5790 I was thinking so- the rear wheels were spinning hard while the fronts were locked.. that crash might have been the best overall result as it scrubbed so much speed.
Rather watch this, than the other series. Much better racing
Dump the V8 Supercars and put the money in this category and all the old fans will come back.
Put some of the old boys back behind the wheel as well.
We all know you are 100% correct
With Appendix J for support races.

Yep pretty easy really, even give reason to remake these cars just for purpose 😉
Thanks Mr Dallas,,great class of racing,,sad to see the Torana damage
Holden Torana mate 🔥🤙🏁🏆shame to see those other two smashed up, poor fella would've had no idea that was coming.

That was my guess. It looked like a jammed throttle pushing the locked front wheels.
yep 100% stuck throttle , you can here it bangin on the limiter entering the sand trap

This and some of the Goodwood classic racing is so far beyond anything modern racing has to offer.
Goodwood is awesome. Is there anything more fun to watch than Minis and Alfas mixing it up with Galaxies?

Tilley legend 👍🏻🇦🇺✌️.
BRING BACK GROUP A and GROUP C
Fairdinkum great racing
The Torana is all fibreglass hardly a steel panel to be seen. Not that hard to fix. The McDonald's one looked nasty
Easy to replace those panels. It's the possible chassis damage that's the worry.
@SirDaffyD I realise that. Many classic race cars in NZ have glass guards, bonnets and even bumpers because original parts are so difficult to come by.
@@morris2450 And if you do find a panel that isn't eaten by rust pricks make out they are gold plated when discussing price, dreamers.
stuck throttle there...wheres the kill switch?

Group C was the best.
Hold on, we are a ford ed great racing.
Deffo stuck throttle not a bit of deceleration got away with it on the opening lap should have pulled her in then
yeah some drivers have no regard for the safety of others.. pure stupidity.. No. 84 should be forced to pay for the No. 7 A9X Repairs...
Supersweet to see the pole position taxi not even lead into the first corner.
A rolling start. Well, I suppose everyone apparently voted for it...
If TCM wanted to add even more spice to the mix, does anyone have the balls to run a TWR style XJS?
V8 supercars are boring know.
Give me TCM any day.
Yes I'm old
So good ❤

Don't worry it WILL DIE very soon. Not paying to see the U.S. cars i don't want to watch anyway. Anyway Camaro is dead and gone so why race it?
@@grant9301 tru but wont die that quickly its big overseas and toyota have announced they r comin back in 2026

It does hurt the soul.

lmfao@u his throttle stuck wide open

This proper V8 super car racing Even better than those plastic shit boxes
