As an Aussie, seeing these things lap the Sydney circuit at the Olympic park was absolutely breathtaking, the sheer power and sound of these overpowered, angry machines tear through the streets with shop fronts producing a deafening orchestra of v8 grunt just gave me the most pure feeling of excitement I've had in a long time. So sad to see an end of an era which set apart Australia in the motorsport world.

V8 Supercars are so underrated 😍

[@brandono6718]

Living in nz, its all you hear about in motorsport

[@_Zekken]

@@brandono6718 indeed. You almost never see any other form of racing. GT3/F1 or even Le Mans etc dont get shown ever

[@brandono6718]

Yeah it's pretty sad, all those other racing series are also mostly during the night in New Zealand. There can be good racing in the V8s but I honestly do get sick of only seeing and hearing about it all the time. Pretty much whenever there's racing overseas going on I have to watch the replay because it runs during the night

[@_Zekken]

@@brandono6718 i found NismoTV on youtube which streams a lot of GT3 and the Blancpan series, along with the Bathurst 12 hour etc. And saves them so you can watch them at your own lesuire thats how Ive been watching GT3. Havent really found anything for Le Mans though, and im not personally interested in F1

[@jasonkuy7100]

Can you do a standard GT3 lap here so we have a good baseline for comparing all of these?

[@entrad157]

Hi Alex, Ive done this circuit in 6.47.00 flat out in a BMW M3 2016 GT3. It's a fantastic place to go flat out!!

[@MyLonewolf25]

GT3 would be about 6:45-6:50 ish

Jimmy is the exact opposite of a real Commodore driver. Everyday Commodore drivers think they can drive, but can't... Jimmy thinks he can't drive, but can. Great video :)

Gareth Askham actually Supercars series has awesome racing ans Skill involved, and the commodores did and do Well in the competition

[@gmdaskham]

I think you missed the point of what I was saying. I mean real life Commodore drivers, not racers. Those that drive Commodores as a street car. They have a very typical stereotype of being aggressive and attempt to drive beyond their capabilities.

[@badenmaloney9527]

Fun Fact: Holden hold the record for the fastest Ute around the Nordschleife with a 8:19:47 in 2013

[@tonystack1622]

Have you done a modern DTM car yet? Interesting to see how much faster it is than this V8

[@fabsalomon85]

Probably a lot faster since the DTM has massive aero and the V8 has pretty much nothing in terms of aero

[@tonystack1622]

so 30 seconds or more faster? It would be nice to see how much.

[@markhayleybeadon]

Dtm is boring. Less driver skill

[@fabsalomon85]

mark beadon yeah the racing in V8 Supercars is so much better

[@jumil2301]

mark beadon why should more downforce make a car easier to drive the grip level is just higher so they are driving much faster which takes more skill, sliding around is not fast, but i have to admit that it is very boring today

[@KalvickQT]

Whilst F1, GT3, LMP cars lap faster - there is nothing more entertaining than V8 Supercar races. They sound fucking amazing in real life as well. Always respect the V8 Supercars, even though the likes of F1 are universes ahead in every aspect

[@kevinwalton2573]

not sure about F1 being universes ahead, Interesting but normally quite boring. SuperCars present way closer racing. When you can have only 1sec per lap beween the field of 28. And I am not Austrailian

[@ethanleslie8329]

I know this is old but quick tip driving these. 1: apply very small amount of brake (like 10%) before your braking line, the nose and weight will move to the front and it will stop nicer and faster (depends but sometimes just blending the throttle or lift will do) 2: this one is common sense but don’t apply more than 30% throttle till straight or apex

Have the PC brigade taken you away yet?

[@BradGryphonn]

I'm 55 years old. Back in the early 2000s (in my mid-30s) I had 2 networked computers at home with those old school steering wheel and pedal set-ups. I worked in IT at the time so had access to decent gear at trade prices. A mate and I would spend hours racing each other at Bathurst on V8 Supercars: Race Driver. As a consequence, when I watch Bathurst each year I recall every straight and every corner. If I had Jimmy's gaming setup I probably wouldn't leave the house except for work and I'd be surviving on 2 or 3 hours sleep a night.

Fantastic drive Jimbo. Was great to see our big banger get thrown around the Nordschleife.

Chris C if you’ve ever seen Bathurst you’d know that nothing which handles poorly can get around that circuit that quickly. Sure there no f1 cars but there good for fast competitive racing and they have serious mechanical grip.

A Ford endurance car (whether it be the modern GT or the old GT40) would be pretty cool. I think you should do a GT3 car as well, as it’s probably the only big modern Motorsport discipline you’re missing right now (I’m definitely forgetting something, pls no angery). Another cool thing would be a 50s or 60s F1 car. Anyways, keep up the great videos Jimmer!

I wonder what a DTM car coud do around the ring, thinking sub 6 could be doable. You should try that next!

[@erraldstyler]

if its not modified for the ring, it couldnt do shit. opel won the 24hr race in 2003 with a modified Astra V8 DTM, and the times back then were way slower then todays gt3 cars

[@rarewhiteape]

An Australian team ran an older V8 SuperCar at the Nurb 24h for quite a few years in the mid 2000s. Their lap times were in the region of 9:43 in qualifying, though that included the GP circuit as well. The cars back then were not too far removed in performance to what they are today, save for slightly better aero, tyres and brakes, as well as the introduction of sequential ‘boxes. www.ausringers.com/2008/06/01/mal-rose-racing-commodore-at-2008-nurburgring-24-hour.html

Back in the day in GT6 we used to do online race nights, the car rules; V8, four-door and aftermarket wing on race hards, at 550pp. Such good times as we essentially ran the closest thing to V8 supercars in the game outside of the one racecar.
