I still reckon the 18 degree Chev era was the best sounding. 2000 - 2011ish. Before the actual Holden Motorsport Aurora block. Even mid 90s spec Chev' are nicer. It's deceptive because they revved the Group A ones higher. I reckon the Chev has a better note though.
I have a signed poster from brocky at Oran park that year hanging on my wall , he actually was quite personable to every kid while signing there posters , rip champ
The King, Peter Brock, displaying his skills. The privilege was ours to see him racing and I saw him many times including his last Sandown 500 in 1997. He was always the consummate professional, a true legend of Motorsport. We are all the worse off for his passing. RIP.
Wow thank you all for the response! We've had this idea for a while to put these 7 Sport clips together and share it but didn't expect a response like this. Glad you have all enjoyed reliving some great moments in motorsport history!
You got the response you did cause no other 304 5litre race car vn sounded better than the 1991 vn group a there's nothing that comes close to it Perkins and hrt did a good job although they did loose a few motors in the process I no hrt had a very small budget to work with during this period the vn group a race car cost I think 120k to build the gtr was 500k that was big money in 91 big-time you can't compete with that and expect the commodore to win against a twin turbo 4wd 630hp gtr with the latest technology as well it was unfair in my opinion and I don't care what anybody says those vn were awesome for what they were I no it's a dinosaur but I do not care put more races up please of the 1991 season if you have the sandown500 full race that would be much appreciated all I've managed to see is 1hr highlights if the vn could have managed to hold together it would have won that race unfortunately all 4 cars blew up I herd the revved them to 9000rpm don't know if that's true or not
Keep it coming!!! Best era by far… a car you Could buy, fitted with a cage with a worked engine and drivetrain and suspension… not today’s tube chassis cars!!
Seriously, watching this and seeing the car, a gutted VN with some sort of a race seat and steering wheel, something that looks like an old sim racer. And then those tracks were rough as, you really had to "drive" the car, H pattern shift, always using the clutch.. and to win and be as consistent as he was for many years shows how good this guy really was.. oh and lets not forget he just chatted on racecam like he was on a sunday drive. Imagine his skills in todays race cars..
1:18 Short shifting to cut the wheel spin as he hits the Apex of the corner while giving effortless commentary! Some drivers could barely talk on the straights! As a teenager, i saw Brocky racing at Wanneroo in his HRT VS, before the race he was signing autographs 50 people deep, like ants on a lolly! Hearing these cars thunder past at full noise is unbelievable, video just doesn't do it justice.
I've still got my vn had it for 28 years . 5 litre manual in perfect condition. Won't get rid of it it's been around me to long . If i only had a dollar every time someone asked me do you want to sell it . Tuff old cars !
Top stuff! I miss group A. I was born in 1982 so once group A had finished I was still too young to understand why the racing didn’t appeal to me anymore and ended up getting into BMX. The racing of group A was simply raw! I miss 4’s 6’s and 8’s all fighting for the same bit of road. The drivers had personality just as much as the cars did too.
lmao BMX tobacco sponsorship ban killed all sports especially motor racing those companies raked in millions and had the best looking cars on track what ever brand you smoked or went for
Wow! Amazing compilation Thank you! The greatest sounding V8 touring cars before the fluffy 10:1 compression and 7500rpm limiter of the current cars. Thats what an unrestricted V8 should sound like! They'd be revving over 10000rpm if they were allowed those rules now. How good brocky to commentate and race at the same time! Also His rapidfire downshifts and heel/toe's through each gear were symphonic!! Brap!-Brap!-Brap! Current cars need less aero, less weight and more power from an unrestricted V8 engine. Then you'll see some serous slipping ands sliding all over the place!
Growing up watching these cars and races it have come to the conclusion this is why as an adult I live in the shed working on my four V8 commodores lol.rip Brock, amazing driver.
Always impressed how Peter could feel out a cars faults and baby it home for a win I have always thought a musician a jet pilot race car bike driver you have to become one with your chosen gift in sync .. that is the difference between the best and a true perfectionist...He is one person who I admired and miss ...RIP PB-05.....
Nice and crisp note. Appreciate actually being able to tell it's a bent 8. These were a bit before my time, but I used to drive a manual VN once I was older. They were great cars.
Long live the mighty injected 304,and all the work that the HEC did in developing a great race engine. According to AMC's look into the race development of the motor, the factory team was taking them to almost 9000rpm down Conrod during qualifying. Incredible for a pushrod motor. Incredible to think that over 161 laps, they finished only 1 lap behind the much much more sophisticated Nissan R32,aka Godzilla. Long live Holden,HDT,HSV,HRT and all they did for motorsport in Oz😁👍
No wonder his nickname was peter perfect. He was at the top of his class when on the track. He was so cool and collected when doing absolutely amazing speeds around winding tracks and long straights, and he was always ready to talk to commentators about the car he was driving. It always sounded like he was just talking to them from his loungeroom armchair. He never sounded stressed. He was definately equal to don bradman as a sporting hero in my opinion.
"infamous Perkins slide manifold"? nothing infamous about it, CAMS had made it legal despite it not being on the road car homologation specials. It was done because the M3 Evos of Longhurst/Jones that were based on the DTM cars came with similar freedoms
I live down the road from Lakeside...Club raced it back in the day...and can hear the Car's on some Sundays if the wind is blowing the right direction...it's fantastic that the track was saved and is still raced on today...I was there in 91 to witness the all conquering GTR's race.
@@TouringCarsofAus Not only is it a great Spectator track...but a real Drivers track...the Giant Paper Clip in Ipswich is a joke and boring in comparison
Unfortunately yes. Real characters and hard nut drivers, thrilling spine tingling on board camera action with the sound of those roaring V8s. It was just raw stuff
I've only ever got to one race with Peter in it and I reckon it was this season at Winton. As a spectator I was blown away by the sound of Brockies car, nothing like the interior sound here. I found it very unique, very hard to put into words,, maybe a smooth deep warning note if that makes sense!
The tyres are everything, we ask them to corner, brake and accelerate. A racer or engineer who understands the tyre under them can drive to the condition of track / tyre limit to get the most out of the grip envelope. Exceed the limit and pay the price, run it to the edge of adhesion and you have one of the ingredients required to take home the silverware.
Absolutely magnificent. Larry could really make the Holden V8 sing. Best part of 8000 revs and probably close to 500hp. Sure probably 50 to 100 down on the Sierra's once they were on boost but not bad for a heavy family car.
Thank you mate. Unfortunately there isn't much in car of the Corolla's but there is plenty of footage for us to go through and we'll eventually have some footage up once we find it. We're also trying to get footage together of some of the privateer cars that got some air time throughout the years as well.
In 1991 they actually revved to 9100 rpm in the early parts of the season, later reduced to 8500 rpm, for reliability reasons, but they still sounded like nothing else :) From 1992 and onwards the V8s were all limited to 7500 rpm, and the sound was not the same anymore sadly.
Do any of the Mobil VN's still exist? Rumour has it they were converted into VP's when the now V8 Supercars first started. The VN's were a great racecar.
Pretty sure Advantage Racing retained the cars for '92 onwards and rebuilt them, spraying the interior blue in the process and upgrading the rollcage (etc). This is partly why Larry himself went back to the VL for '92, having split from Brock. I think one Mobil VN exists as a Group A car in '92 livery and one exists as a V8 Supercar-spec VP in '93 livery. The V8 Supercar-spec one is in '93 Brock/Cleland Bathurst livery and appears at historic events quite often. I'm not sure how many cars Advantage Racing had in total.
The unique firing order of the Old Mighty 304/308 Holdens definitely had a impact on how awesome they have always sounded, i now Work and tune race LS powered beasts and in my opinion they sound shit 😂 compared to the Holdens ..Brocky was king and there will never ever be another King full stop , Legend
Two things......firstly, he says something overated whincup would never say, in that he better let longhurst past as his holding him up.........secondly the Bathurst straight = awesome
We believe it's likely a mixture of running an enclosed airbox and additional muffler/s in the exhaust to keep it quieter for tracks like Amaroo and Oran Park. For Bathurst, compared to the ATCC the exhaust was exiting just outside the front passenger door as opposed to the rear passenger side door where the exhaust had been exiting for most of the year. Since it was much shorter it would likely explain why it was so much louder and combined with running an open style air intake with an air filter over the intake stacks, it made for quite a noise!
It's called heel and toe braking. When using a manual gearbox, as you brake (with you toe), you blip the throttle (with your heel) as you down change to rev match for the lower gear you are shifting into. Prevents compression lockup (where the rear axle locks due to the engine rpm being too low vs the gear/ road speed of the car. If you do a search for heel and toe, I am sure you will find someone explaining it/ showing it in slow motion.
100% agree...V8's days were over, they were done and dusted...so much infact they got rid of any Competition ànd had to start their own series to keep them alive...Sadly it ended the ATCC

Those VN group A’s are the best sounding V8’s in touring cars, so much better than the Supercars.
I still reckon the 18 degree Chev era was the best sounding. 2000 - 2011ish. Before the actual Holden Motorsport Aurora block. Even mid 90s spec Chev' are nicer. It's deceptive because they revved the Group A ones higher. I reckon the Chev has a better note though.
I’m a rotary man but I totally agree! These are the best sounding boat anchors, purring nicely through the revs.

Brocky seemed to have a lot of intimate relationships with tyres.He spoke about them a lot during his commentaries.
The tyres are everything, we ask them to corner, brake and accelerate. A racer or engineer who understands the tyre under them can drive to the condition of track / tyre limit to get the most out of the grip envelope. Exceed the limit and pay the price, run it to the edge of adhesion and you have one of the ingredients required to take home the silverware.

Exhaust note sounds different during Bathurst compared to the other group a rounds. Mabie bathurst had less restrictions?
We believe it's likely a mixture of running an enclosed airbox and additional muffler/s in the exhaust to keep it quieter for tracks like Amaroo and Oran Park. For Bathurst, compared to the ATCC the exhaust was exiting just outside the front passenger door as opposed to the rear passenger side door where the exhaust had been exiting for most of the year.
