This was the race that captured the imagination of my heart. I've followed the ATCC, then V8 Suoercars, since thanks to Larry and Russell and that legendary No.11 Castrol Racing Commodore at Mt Panorama in 1995 👍🏽.

Larry Perkins is a legend, a genius engineer. I remember he built a Holden V8 for the race rather than use the Chevy supplied engines the rest of the Holdens used and he blitzed the qualifying, but I can't remember what eventually happened. I think he was no longer allowed to use it, hahaha. What a guy!

Never Met Larrikin Larry Perkins . My Gr8 Misfortune 👍 👌 If there was one Driver in V8 Super Cars 🚗 that l would like 2 meet , then Larry would be @ the Top of the List all day & every day. One of the true gentlemen in 🇦🇺 🪃 Australian Motor Sport . Gr8 shame that Larry couldn't find a Backer in F1 . Obviously Bernie Eccelstone thought highly of him as he doesn't suffer fools .

I was hoping for a Glenn Seton and Parsons win that day, but as we all know, motor sport can be a cruel game...but on the same hand, nobody can overlook the tenacity, driving, and engineering skills of Larry, and his operation at Perkins Engineering...years later he still remains the best operator this game of racing has ever seen..bar none.

There's no disputing a performance like that. Blow out on lap 1 of an iconic all-day race. Perkins, Ingall and team had to start over, which they did. Then they proceeded to slowly and methodically reel them all in. By driving flat out. All day. In my uneducated opinion, as I'm not familiar with every Bathurst 1000, It's the best performance ever at Mt Panorama. From the performance of Perkins and Ingall behind the wheel, to the awesome pit stops performed by the crew, to the engineering behind a car which held out to criminal abuse over 1000km. They drove that engine to 7500rpm all day, and it survived.

@paule4204 Жыл бұрын
No he used a 5L Holden engine that he homogulated a block with more metal in certain locations and improved the heads. Did it all in the Holden factory so it was technically legal. He also was using the slide air valve instead of butterfly inlet valves. His engine had more power than everyone else, that's why he had a higher speed on Conrad straight. Nothing to do with a 6L. In fact larry was one of the last using the Aussie 5L while the others were using 5L Chevy engines, before they changed the rules to make him use the Chevy engine. The reality of this win was due to larry making a break calliper that was wider enough to hold a pad that would last all of Bathurst, he got a company to make pads that were about 10mm thicker. Changing pads use to take about 3 minutes so Larry effectively got back his lap by not changing pads. The amount of times you made this comment in multiple places suggest you are a disgruntled Ford or seaton fan.

@@michaelgiglio1571 No he never did. You are making up nonsense. Here is an extract from a website, note that his engines were inspected. I use to watch V8 superstars and Larry never said this. The best example of this is Larry Perkins Bathurst winning 304 back in the '90s. Everyone whinged about how Larry's engine was heaps faster up the hill and he must have been cheating. When the powers that be pulled his engine down all they found were intake port fillers, designed to reduce the intake port volume in order to increase air speed and therefore torque. This is why his car was faster up the hill, but the same as everyone elses coming down.

I’d have loved to see Larry run an F1 team, or solve the reliability issues in the teams he was in. Would have been great to see how he could have gotten around the reliability to build a stronger car!
