After having never turned a wheel in a Ford badged car during his race career, Greg Murphy took the plunge at Sydney Motorsport Park onboard The Bottle-O Racing machine.
The cars transmission needs to set up slightly differently for left foot brakers, you can do it but it hurts the car, so anyone that left foot brakes wont do it in other cars that aren't set up for it
I always disliked Murph in his racing days (although had to respect that Lap of the Gods) --- but man he is by far one of the best commentators on the team, right up there with Larko.
your description is incorrect. Murph has raced ford badged cars in his career - this is the first time he has raced a FALCON, not the first time he has raced a ford... In 1992 he drove a ford sierra rs500 in the nissan mobil series. he placed second overall
Ford is better In so many ways. Holden only Australian touring cars, ford world wide racing, ford has more race victories than all the other car manufacturers combined, fact:
I wish Supercars did more fun and quirky stuff like this. You Supercar guys forget us Kiwis are big fans too. Personally if i seen a v8 supercar just casullly driving down the road itd be so cool to see. Just for shits n giggles of course but its once in a lifetime sorta thing seeing stuff like that.
Idk about new zealand but i think that they are technically not road legal so something like that might not be possible. Agree about the quirky things though. I think our domestic motorsport should be promoted alot more to the average sports fan in our nations. Feel like there is more room for growth.
Imagine SVG driving through South Auckland in his 2016 Red Bull Supercar.. sideways. Pink smoke & all lol that car so dope I had to recreate it on Car X Drift Racing. So much fun!
What i dont get is how it took him so long to finally drive one. Like from what i can see all the racers in the supercars are quite close tight nit sorta group of people and youd think theyd be friends with each other n be like hey man wana have a drive of my car. But maybe murph just is a true commy fan
They all sound different from each other , but ford sounda ford and holden runs a chevy sounds like a chevy , but there is noticable differences from one ford or holden to the next one, but some sound the same, some sound really good but could be a mid pack runner some could sound average or thin but be the winner, fords sound better, they have more ring to them and more howl , where the holdens sound like a distauted quack or squarky,,with a blunt ring
Dandoo 1942 in 2012 Greg Murphy had a huge crash with Jonathon Webb at the Adelaide 500 where Greg injured his back and needed surgery and because he had back injuries he could not left foot brake that’s why he was right foot braking
Murph is the man!
Tiametmarduk hey Ben
Tiametmarduk Murphs cool
Very sm

Tiametmarduk hayyyy I love your vidds so much thanks for making them
I love that you can see his footwork.
Interesting he uses the clutch on the downshifts, he's usually a left foot braker when downshifting
The cars transmission needs to set up slightly differently for left foot brakers, you can do it but it hurts the car, so anyone that left foot brakes wont do it in other cars that aren't set up for it
Murph you’re an absolute legend have watched you for many a year mate well done , Cheers. .
Gods this racing series looks like tons of fun to watch.
Too bad the states haven't warmed up to it, I'd love to see this division picked up by NBCSN.
+Brandon Dollar im surprised yous are picking it up also, makes nascar look like watching paint dry
they have raced in Texas tho
You can now watch it on superview
Oh it's very exhiting racing nail biting finishes, contraversy , and ford or holden,
Think most yanks have tunnelvisionitis when it comes to most things outside of North Mexico
Nice to see you drive a real car Murph
The 'Bottle-o falcon in 2014 was 2013 ex mark winterbottom bathurst winning car. Good video.
That Ford is AMAZING !

Chris Otool saying to Murph this be the first time u driven a decent car that shit is funny as fuck

In 1992 he drove a ford sierra rs500 in the nissan mobil series. he placed second overall
he said first time in a ford falcon
No he doesnt - he says first time "in a ford badged car". I am referring to the description not what is said in the video itself.
3:11
Listen at 1:10
That was really cool... Never seen this before now... Murph's very level headed, very likeable...
he's mellowed a lot with age lol
From every holden fan , we're not upset, just disappointed
Holden man bhahaha, holden dont play fair , very dirty dirty fuckers
Ford is better In so many ways. Holden only Australian touring cars, ford world wide racing, ford has more race victories than all the other car manufacturers combined, fact:
@@hesgotamotor8288 v8 supercars holden has more wins
Yes
His first pro touring car drive was driving a sierra though
I've always liked Murphs Aggression and commitment. Still an all time Supercars Favourite. Followed by SVG. Need more Murphs.
1:57 damn, I had no idea they did heel-toe down shifts. I don't think I've ever seen the pedals in normal coverage, maybe it's the interior's design.
It is a ruling from CAMS. If you can't heel/toe you don't go racing until you learn and have been approved by an instructor.
Some to left foot break but most heel toe
That was a cool video 👍
im ford man but respect murph....let the rivalry live on

I wanna see Murph drive a SBR Falcon from the 03-05 era.
If ya can’t beat em, join em. Why not? Paul Morris did and won Bathurst as a result.
love the noise!

Surprised he didn't try to wreck himself
Haha good on him
Probably the best car he ever drove
is this car that Murphy driving Mark Winterbottom's car he drivers now
Do they tweak those cars to sound a certian way ? sounds unique

@@fanoffreedom3003 Yeah rrright.
Why Murph?
Same chassis different tin ware. No diff.
Back in the day when Prodrive/Tickford weren't silly. Cam is a good Driver but everyone can agree they didn't need to give Davey the sack.
Murph didn't say the word "Ford" once in that vid.
He did
I would rather push my Holden than drive a ford. Hahahaha
Holden Supporter 4 Life
Long live the Almighty Holden's
You must be a fit man from all that pushing then 🤪😂
Good to see him in a good car..
Uhrrth Murphy poisoned a ford
Only in Australia do ppl (bogans) think that Vauxhall is better than ford
Vauxhall yuk,, bluurk, ford mustang, ford falcon, ford thunder bird, Vauxhall, LoL
Left the best till last...go FORD on Sunday!
Now to go and clean up all the oil that’s leaked around the track 💩💩💩🤣🤣 HOLDEN RULZ!!!😎😝😝
Ford Germs 🤐
I thought he was a left foot braker??

As if this is a "Ford" standardised race cars that can be skinned any way you want
This will be the first time u driven a decent car 🤣🤣
