[@kerriesomerville5010]

[@emjay0507]

Chef knows his shit, Makes a small rollbar adjustment for Scott for the 2nd lap. :))

[@trentwhiteman5185]

Scott's eyes are stone cold while he's driving 😂

[@falconpowerful2362]

The smile on that big kid’s face! The Chief looks like Herman Munster in this 😜

[@Jerry-n3r]

We need this lad back

[@TrackRecord3455]

Need some outside shots of the car going through the corners ...

[@tjrobertson4611]

Watch a race... lol

[@ammarhusin4389]

Hai Scott you are my favourite driver congratulations hopes you suses all time

[@shaneyboi2231]

That was priceless lol

[@diegobert4033]

That’s the smile of a man living in the moment 😃

[@bebosing5755]

When the Chief gets to experience the nature of the weapon in the hands of a talented young warrior!! Awesome!!😂😂👍

[@paiaper]

Hold those nobbly knees m8tSmiles on diles Awesomeness Scotty8))

NEWCASTLE NEWCASTLE NEWCASTLE NEWCASTLE

[@marklowe7431]

Back to the change room.

[@user-uh6lm5wv6n]

Is there something specific about the Newcastle course? Because the face expressions and movements are almost identical to that Ponga guy who rode with Moztert, whereas all other hot laps at other tracks people are just normal. Seems Newcastle is more brutal

[@LachieJohnson]

A lot more twisty ad turny so g force is probably a bit higher

[@takingafence]

2:00 EJECT EJECT EJECT!!!!

[@seanyuke3249]

How good is the chief. Love that bloke. And I'm a qlder.

[@trentwhiteman5185]

What are the red blue and black levers?

[@chris4181]

can either be front and rear roll bar adjustments or brake bias it depends on the car and driver

[@donkeydan172]

What is the lever next to the gear shifter he is adjusting? I’m curious lol

[@pez222fez]

i'm guessing brake bias , the other 2 levers are anti roll bar adjustments

[@The_Absolute_Dog]

Yeah I assumed brake bias but I'd love to know

[@donkeydan172]

pez222fez to be fair that does seem reasonable, since commenting I’ve watched a few V8 videos and the commentator said a slight roll bar adjustment when he flicked one, I’m glad I know now lol!

[@miguelsanchez6465]

What do the red black and blue handles do?, he moves the black one forwards a bunch in the beginning.

[@lukeleedham9925]

Miguel Sanchez the taller red and blue levers control the front and rear anti roll bars. The smaller black one is brake bias. He can mix the front to rear ratio on the fly for each corner as needed.

[@benfairhall5331]

@@lukeleedham9925 so he pulls the lever all the way to the back when he encounters the tighter sections of track so the bias is pushed more towards the rear so the steering is more effective?

[@lukeleedham9925]

@@benfairhall5331 I’m not going to pretend I know the science behind it. But yes I believe taking brakes away from the front helps with steering. But if they want to brake hard in a straight line ( say at the bottom of the hill at Bathurst ) they want more front brakes to avoid locking the rears.

[@AlexPeace246]

1:08. LOL!

[@AlexPeace246]

Best screenshot I’ve got from a KZbin video in a long time.

[@mightyblues7]

Wonder which setup was used? mmm

[@chrisbarker5336]

What do all those levers do???

[@Itsnick99]

brake bias, anti roll bar etc

[@karenmclean3351]

whats the lever that he pulls

[@privatesonparade]

Brake pressure balance adjustment

[@BCJM76]

Roll bar adjustment.

[@privatesonparade]

BCJM76 they’re the blue and red levers

[@MathewSmart]

Not brake pressure, it's the front anti-roll bar adjustment for stiffening up suspension. "Red is rear" - "blue is front" forward for stiff and rear for soft, and the black lever with the red button is brake bias forward for front and back for rear....

[@TrackRecord3455]

Rear roll bar adjustment

[@waynehunt4327]

Sorry, but who exactly is ‘the chief’? My apologies for not knowing . . .

[@SupercarsChampionship]

Paul Harragon - a Newcastle Knights legend. #NewcastleKnights #Supercars

[@LachieJohnson]

Not The Chief I know so i was confused when i didnt see Jason Dunstall in the seat

[@darrenjackson2687]

Wonder is the rest of the field had a go slow put on them for Scotty to go around the track?

[@SupercarsChampionship]

Was after the final practice session on Friday during the hot lap session. All the drivers are all spaced out so they have a clear track. #VASC #Supercars

[@deancollins7377]

Who needs audio when you have Chiefs facial expressions.....OOOOH yes yes shit shit fa$k fa$$$%%%rrrkk yes yes shot ooohhhh

[@nunziorose1749]

Lol funny. I just read the commodore is going to be phased out of production. They better start thinking about getting the Camaro in v8 supercars or bring back the VF lol...

[@contactme4540]

Where did you read this?

[@nunziorose1749]

@@contactme4540 on my news app by driven

[@contactme4540]

nunzio rose I found the article, interesting. Although it has been confirmed the Camaro definitely won’t be in Supercars till at least 2021

[@nunziorose1749]

@@contactme4540 well that's perfect looks like the commodore will be phased out at the end of 2020.

[@wombatdj]

Not quite true. The Buick Regal will be phased out in the US. The Opel Insignia is still being produced. Opel is now owned by Peugeot, not GM now, though.

[@darryllspalding5211]

Dunno don’t care who the chief is !!! Looks like he enjoyed it.

[@carlingram9722]

Did the Chief just grimace?
