I was just in awe of the Jaguars when they took part in this race. Later in the year I saw John Goss's winning No.10 on display at a car show in the old Sydney Showground Complex. It still had the smashed bugs on the front bumper. I actually got to put a hand on it and get some pictures next to it with my ancient camera. It was even more awesome in real life. Great memories.

The Jaguar XJR-5 GTP Prototype of Bob Tullius, Brian Redman and Doc Brundy in those days was the sweetest sounding angry exhaust not of all time, IMHO... Very similar sound here...

This is hands down the most amazing motorsport video of all time. Anyone who knows a bit about racing can try to appreciate what's at stake in that lap. It's the absolute peak of raw power transferring to the tarmac, a very very fast and risky lap with a touring car in which just a small mistake lead to immediate death. Sliding everywhere, even with only two wheels on the track. Despite all that, Tom Walkinshaw does not even flinch inside the car. He takes corner after corner ferociously with not even an ounce of hesitation. You can feel the sheer power (461 hp), speed and the kinetic energy of the car which is so heavy (about 1400kg or 3000 pounds, this is 1985). The car reaches up to 290 km/h (180 mph) at the end of the long 2km Conrod Straight. Bathurst has lots of twists and turns and is a remarkably uneven circuit as far as elevation changes go. This proves especially tricky when driving a touring car that powerful that fast. Tom and his partner Win Percy won this race. Absolute MASTERPIECE.

I was in Oz at the time and watched this race live on TV - those TWR Jags were absolute monsters, came 1st and 2nd, miles ahead of anyone else.

' Conrod ' straight ? Did I hear that correctly ? Very apt. 15 years old in 1985, now I have an XJS V12 HE. So so reliable........ conrod straight.

I revisit this every couple of months, it's one of the greatest laps anyone's ever put down on the Mountain. Absolutely balls-to-the-wall, and about as fast as the proddies are running today, which is impressive given the giant leaps cars have made in the last 40 years and how brutal Mt. Panorama is at race pace.

Engine had to be quite stock, they managed to squeeze about 500hp out of the stock jag v12 with a few tweaks
@sparkplug10188 ай бұрын
Not sure about displacement, think I’d read somewhere they got more then the stock 5.3L. But I know they we’re running race prepped flat heads not the HE head. Apparently at some point TWR designed and built an experimental set of DOHC heads for this engine, but didn’t see gains worth the cost and extra complexity
