I hadn't really appreciated before watching this that these drivers are pretty much 100% throttle the whole time. Makes sense, of course, and gave me a new respect for their bravery and skill. A different breed.

Considering the very similar top speed of Ford Sierra RS Cosworths back in time in Group A (1990 295 km/h) , the cornering speed is much higher nowadays. Much-much higher.
This was demonstration event at Bathurst. Mercedes used this modified GT3 car. They modified the brakes, added DRS and removed engine restrictions and made some other aero changes too. No ordinary GT3 car can reach 300 km/h like this one
NASCAR races are MUCH shorter than some of the 24hr events that GT3 race in. Their engines are 5.9L and rev to 9,400. Then of course you had the old 3L F1 V10s peaking (in testing) at 21,000rpm.
A different class but good to see the Mercs get this. A 220SE won class B in the 1961 race (at the Island) driven by Jane and Firth but it would be 14 years later before starting at Bathurst.
1979: Peter Brock set a lap record of around 2 minutes and 14 seconds driving a Holden Torana A9X during the Hardie-Ferodo 1000 at Mount Panorama. Over 17 seconds faster.
Comparing apples with oranges- this AMG Gt is running in modified and unrestricted form. And Angus Foggs 1970 Mustang went 304kph... 😊 Does any of it matter lol
To most race cars, it’s not even a corner. It’s just a slight bend in the straight. There’s plenty of actual corners on other tracks that are similar speed. 130R for example.
Wow! Not slow in a straight line, my last bike was a ZX14 and that's very comparable, but the corner-speed it can carry! The way it gets up and across and then down the mountain! That's awesome! You're coming out of Reid Pk into Deer Pk and on to McPhillamy and you're over 200 km/h all the way through there! You've got to be pulling 2g of lateral all the way through there to be going that fast! That means sticky tyres and lots of downforce. It looks like a sedan car, but it doesn't drive like one. It drives like a full ground-effect car. Sedan cars do not make between 2 and 3g of lateral at 200 km/h. V8 souper-cars do that, with the big wing thing under the engine, but this is even more striking.
guys the V8 supercar series is working within the boundaries of the officials...they already do 300 kms down conrod straight any more and they would get airborne
They do 280, 285 with a slip stream this year. I was watching the live telemetry during Bathurst qualifying. (And no, cars DONT just get air born when they hit 300 lol! NASACR race over 320kmh)
Is it just me, or,... did it look like there was a little more there to be had at the top of Mountain Straight, and mid corner of The Cutting, especially considering how good it was across Skyline, and how effing deep he was in The Chase before stoping those brakes and washing off so much speed so quickly.
The lap he admitted he wasn’t even pushing it lol. F1 cars have been simulated as 10s faster again than Button’s lap….but 1 error and the driver is dead! The track does not come close to meeting current FIS Grade 1 F1 safety standards. (Bathurst is only a grade 3)
Long live the V8, music to my ears all day long.
same
what the???
that guy really took the WHOLE track, the WHOLE gearbox, the WHOLE engine, the WHOLE capability of his sensory organs, insane...
The climb was insane. I was scrare watching it
Sounds great,handles well,driven with great skill. Thanks f posting.
the amount of downforce this thing produces is absolutely wild. the speed he carries through corners is phenomenal
I agree. Although that being said, I reckon the car could go even faster if it was lighter.

300kph @ 1:35,40
134kph @ 1:37,70 (laptime)
That's some braking!
Saw that too, I was first like, he's going to go off at 300 and the suddenly he was at 134! insane breaking.
That is much better footage than the other video from the outside. So fast over the top, holy cow those walls are close. Wicked video
Mental breaking stills at the bottom of the hill!! from 303 KPH to 134 in just over 2 sec. I was very impressed with that.
The trust put into the aero every time the bodywork was hitting the ground is unsettling.
Speed through the corners, and how fast he wipes off the speed… wow!! 290+ down to 120ish at the chase in about 1 second. Holy crap
was lucky enough to see that live from the AMG lounge @ bathurst. It was insanely loud compared to the modded/restricted GT3's
I absolutely enjoyed this.
I hadn't really appreciated before watching this that these drivers are pretty much 100% throttle the whole time. Makes sense, of course, and gave me a new respect for their bravery and skill. A different breed.
Braking at 270kph about 75M on turn2 is absolute and total trust in the car
Yeah the braking at Griffins and then the speed into the cutting is next level!
Awesome lap well done by all I first watched the outside lap and they are both equally impressive 🤯
What a frikkin lap. Awesome!👏
I love watching the stats, especially the G's. My shifter superkart used to do 2.5 lateral G's. The thing was an absolute monster.
Genuinely amazing how this record lasted less than a week
1400hp ev lol... Yea wow. Was it 1/10 of a sec....?

That's incredible to watch, truly amazing. Well done 👏
I know how he feels,I have to do the school run every morning 😂😂
The lateness of the braking, and the handling of this vehicle is incredible.
There use to be a 300 km speed sign down the Chase in doing 303 km will he get a speeding fine ? Only Asking , Cheers .
Man that 6 speed DCT box is really some bad-a55 tech. Sweet.
300 kmh flat through the chase that’s crazy I love these AMG Mercs
Is telemetry just showing when DRS is available or actually in use. Did they fit a special wing just for this lap?
Thanks for this video looks amazing fantastic driving wish I was there
That was an awesome lap of Bathurst. Wow
Wow amazing car and super skillful driving!
I love this circuit❤
Yes Yes Vientos Power Mercedes AMG ♥️💯👍👉🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
The sense of speed was speedy...
What DTM should have been. Bring back class 1
Considering the very similar top speed of Ford Sierra RS Cosworths back in time in Group A (1990 295 km/h) , the cornering speed is much higher nowadays. Much-much higher.
The Ford Sierra cars, now they were something else, they were fun to watch 👍thanks for the reminder
They were hitting around 285kmh, but that was before the kink! Cars today accelerate all the way around with far superior modern brakes.
Good graphics, whats your PC hardware?
Wow what a lap 😮
Drs?
Drag reduction system, it reduces aerodynamic drag for a reduction in grip and an increase in acceleration (used on the straights).
A flap on the rear wing not legal for regular gt3s this one is the "extreme" it doesn't race at this spec
Out...LBW.
That engine sounds crisp!..
Just lovely!
DRS ? On a GT3 ? Since when ?
This was demonstration event at Bathurst. Mercedes used this modified GT3 car. They modified the brakes, added DRS and removed engine restrictions and made some other aero changes too. No ordinary GT3 car can reach 300 km/h like this one
This category should replace V8 Supercars in an instant GT3 Mustangs and Camaro could benefit vs the European manufacturers big time
dude got his steering wheel position flatter than a bus driver. never seen it that far away and flat before from a racer.
Why bother with the cost overheads of Gen 3 Supercars when GT3 is internationally recognised?
that sound... god!
I can only do 2.08 on similar car in the sim. Cannot imagine doing that in real life
This GT3 is unrestricted, so it's a lot faster than a regular GT3, in a sim or in real life
Those brakes though. Un freaking believable!
They’re still less than half the braking power of F1 cars.
6.2liter engine doing 7800rpm. Crazy!
NASCAR races are MUCH shorter than some of the 24hr events that GT3 race in. Their engines are 5.9L and rev to 9,400.
Then of course you had the old 3L F1 V10s peaking (in testing) at 21,000rpm.
So much full throttle, do these things run traction control?
A different class but good to see the Mercs get this. A 220SE won class B in the 1961 race (at the Island) driven by Jane and Firth but it would be 14 years later before starting at Bathurst.
1979: Peter Brock set a lap record of around 2 minutes and 14 seconds driving a Holden Torana A9X during the Hardie-Ferodo 1000 at Mount Panorama.
Over 17 seconds faster.
The lap record in 1979 was 2.21 on the last lap!
astonishing
I reckon he might squeeze a bit more out of that with better weather and a few more attempts.
Gt3 so great, even Mercedes named one after it
Was this a non-compliant GT3 that had no BOP and fitted with DRS?
302kph..... making V8sc look lke a 2nd rate series.... which it is.
What do the V8sc's hit?
I mean there completely different beasts and supercars aren't exactly slow when there doing around 295
It's not an homologated gt3 either its the extreme with about 700 hp and DRS. Regular gt-r evo gt3lm top to 280-85kph
Comparing apples with oranges- this AMG Gt is running in modified and unrestricted form.
And Angus Foggs 1970 Mustang went 304kph... 😊
Does any of it matter lol
Well they keep trying to avoid being touring car series, so...
Since when did GT3 cars have DRS?
That was so great I can almost forgive Mercedes for that REDICULOUS big badge.
Jules Gounon. Legend 👍
That monster sounds like 80’s nascar
Murphs lap of the God's still my fav
300 through the sweeper all casual like….

Didn't know they used DRS in GT3 now?
DRS is one of the modifications to this car over the standard GT3
... a specially-prepared Mercedes-AMG GT3 ... description is telling it
Driver??
Thats an incredible effort,scary to say the least....would love to see you attempt it with stick-shift.
Why?
@@Nicholas.610the sheer skill involved, that's why!
DRS?
but what's his safety rating though
3.3G on braking😮
Ps5 or PC ?
Even the stock AMG GTS/C/R drives incredible
Incredible lap/
Love my AMG. M113k is the best!
Was that quicker than Tom Walkinshaw in 85 with the XJS Jaguar ?
Not even close, it was a 2:21 for Tom
That’s a Judd v8. Jack Brabhams old company with a partner from Repco.
What?. It’s an AMG V8! Built in house by Mercedes AMG!
Strewth, and I thought Murphs 2:06.8594s was quick. To put it in perspective, the Mercedes AMG GT3 would lap Greg Murphy every 12 laps.

... and suddenly comes the Transit Supervan with even faster laptime!
Did they ever release what the f1 car did it in?
The touring car championship should be GT3 cars
Is it just me, or,... did it look like there was a little more there to be had at the top of Mountain Straight, and mid corner of The Cutting, especially considering how good it was across Skyline, and how effing deep he was in The Chase before stoping those brakes and washing off so much speed so quickly.
its just you
Now that sounds like a car should
Super!
Absolutely awesome… and braking so late…
The AMG GT3 lacks the conrod straight top speed of the Nissan GTS-T driven by the Sheriff where he was caught at close to 330 km/h.
That Nissan had more than 2X the power of this GT3 lol!
(And the Nissan guy said they blocked out the telemetry so as to not get in trouble , but were actually recoded at 356 peak!
great time
AMAZING LAP!! On point, and that V8 was music to my ears.
Now do it naked :P
Nobody has even come close to the outright lap record held by Jenson Button 148 in the McLaren F1
The lap he admitted he wasn’t even pushing it lol.
F1 cars have been simulated as 10s faster again than Button’s lap….but 1 error and the driver is dead! The track does not come close to meeting current FIS Grade 1 F1 safety standards.
(Bathurst is only a grade 3)
this makes me wanna drive like a bat outta hell in gt7
wow 300
unreal...meaning holy F
Is he son of former F1 driver Jean- Marc Gounon?
Cleeeeeeeeeeean!!!!!

I wonder how this would fare against a Gen3 V8, 1v1

Insanity! The downforce... the brakes..... Dang!
