Reaction To 10 Dramatic Last Lap Battles From The Past Decade (Australian Supercars)

[@elementalsheep2672]

Some background on a few of the names you will have heard: Jamie Whincup is statistically the G.O.A.T. He is the Lewis Hamilton of Supercars. He won 7 titles between 2008 and 2017, including 4 in a row. He retired at the end of 2021 and is now team principle of Triple 8 Racing. Shane van Gisbergen (SVG) is the Max Verstappen of the current era. No matter where he starts on the grid, you can never count him out of the race for the win. Put him in anything, anywhere and in any conditions and he will perform. He’s an extremely smart racer, using every possible advantage to get him over the line first. A notable performance of his was when he won a race (race 3, Sandown 2021) starting from 21st all while suffering from a broken collarbone and loaded up on painkillers. He has won three titles in ‘16, ‘21 and ‘22. EDIT: If you needed any more convincing that SVG is a freak, he's just gone and won a NASCAR race on debut - the first in 60 years to do so. He carved through the field from 18th in just 20 laps after the restart, passing all the NASCAR greats as he did so. It's highly likely we'll see him move over to the states in -2025- 2024. Scott McLaughlin is a wonderkid. He won a race in his debut year in 2013 and was practically the only driver to take a Volvo and seriously challenge the Fords and Holdens. He was also the only driver to match (or beat) Whincup and SVG. He won three titles from ‘18 to ‘20 before he left for the states. He now races in Indycar and has 4 race wins over there. Craig Lowndes is one of the greatest drivers of the sport. He entered the sport in 1995 and won the title in ‘96, ‘98 and ‘99, and finished runner-up another 6 times after that. He has won the Bathurst 1000 -a record- 7 times, being mentored by the late great Peter Brock. Craig only retired in 2019, but was still winning races at that point. Mark “Frosty” Winterbottom is a fierce racer, and was always in the talks for the title. He came close for so long before finally winning his one and only title in ‘15. He’s in his 40s now, but still in good form as he has won a race this year, his first in 7 years. Will Davison is for the most part a decent mid-field driver and has never really challenged for the title, but on his day is capable of some crazy good performances. He races with Mclaughlin’s old team now. Chaz Mostert and Cam Waters are lightning quick drivers that always seem to find each other. They both entered the sport around the same time (~2013) and have racked up race wins nearly every year. They’re always in championship talks but have never quite beaten SVG, Whincup and Scotty. But again, on their day, they can bring the fight to anyone. For Chaz, the best moment of his career was the 2014 Bathurst 1000 (the last lap was a clip in this video) where he started from dead last, hit the wall, fell a lap behind, and yet came through to win by overtaking the then-5-time champ Whincup to the line on the last lap. All in his second season in the sport. I consider that race to be the greatest race in motorsport history (it’s up on KZbin in full of want to watch it, but beware that it is 8 hours long and action-filled the whole way). James “JC” Courtney is another notable title winner. Dominant in 2010, he has since fallen off but he’s usually up there in the top 10 and will score a few podiums every year. He’s also funny as hell. David Reynolds has forever been a midfield driver, but every now and then he can push his car to unlikely poles and podiums. Never won a title, but has plenty of wins to his name. And he’s just as much of a larrikin as JC. Garth Tander is a long-time veteran of the championship, having snagged the title in 2007. He has won the Bathurst 1000 five times and was always one of the top drivers. He’s now a part of the commentary team. Anton De Pasquale is usually a midfield driver, but in the right car he is lighting quick too. In 2021 he was a dominant driver at certain tracks, but his team wasn't behind him to keep the consistency. He’s most comparable to Charles Leclerc as he excels in qualifying but struggles to perform without the car to match. An upcoming name you will start to hear is Brodie Kostecki. Only debuted a couple of years ago, but he has already made a name for himself. He drives the car like a NASCAR, never afraid to get a little rough. He’s the first person I’ve seen since Scotty and Whincup that can consistently take the fight to SVG and beat him at his own game. He’s started winning races this year, and is currently leading the 2023 championship. Brodie’s teammate Will Brown is also one to watch. Not as aggressive in his racecraft, but if you let him get ahead of you, he’ll just drive away and dominate the race. He’s fairly new to the sport too but has already racked up several wins. EDIT: Journos are reporting he's just been called up to take SVGs seat starting next year. I can't say I saw that coming, but I can't wait to see what he can do. And lastly, Broc Feeney. Rookie last year, and has since won multiple races. He’s beating his teammate SVG right now. He’s showing racecraft and experience that only the old-timers have. He’s possibly the most exciting prospect to come. Thanks for reading. This sport is so entertaining and interesting, and I love seeing people finding and enjoying it as much as I do.

[@stevegraham3817]

You must be young enough to have not seen Larry Perkins and Russel Ingall go from front to last to nearly lapped twice and then finished first in the 95 Bathurst. I rate it above Mostert's only because it was a car engineered, developed, built and the team managed by the driver, without adjustable driver aids and data logging, just seat of the pants feedback. The other one is Peter Brock, who by the way, holds the record with 9 wins, and him and Jim Richards took the A9X to a 6 lap lead and set the lap record on the last lap. Total domination. All of your other comments are pretty much spot on, except that a couple of the racers you seem to have rated a lot higher than I would have. lol

For me one of the greatest moments is when Craig Lowndes won at Bathurst just after he lost his friend and mentor Peter Brock. It was the first time they presented the Peter Brock trophy (2006) and Jamie Whincup who you saw here was his teammate at the time.

For anyone who doesn’t know, during Bathurst, it is common for the commentators to interview the drivers mid race.

[@albinorhino6]

V8 Supercars is one of the best series going right now. Beastly cars doing stupid speeds on varied and interesting tracks, and they can race bumper to bumper, door to door. Top quality broadcast and commentary, with consistent, no-bullshit officiating. Definitely worth checking out.

[@lynwill65]

And the BEST Drivers!!

[@andrewmurphy7401]

No, no, no! It is not one of the best, it is THE best. There is nothing else like it, not in the U.S nor in Europe, not NASCAR, Indy Car, or even F1 are as exciting as Supercars racing. The British Touring Car's come close, but they don't have the V8 and they don't have the Bathurst 1000, the greatest race of any description on the planet. You are quite right about the rest of it though, totally agree.

[@Fly-ip8vq]

The amount of times Whincup shows up on this video is all you need to know about the man. He dominated an era and come out as the goat. Since retirement he has taken up the ownership of Triple eight (redbull) and still does co-driving for the enduro rounds like Bathurst

[@maxwellbohlsen9252]

That tight track was in the centre of Newcastle. Its my home town and I use to live on the inside of the track and I will say. its as tight as it looks. Its so cool to see those cars racing around the streets i used to ride my bike on. Its honestly so cool.

[@beano9343]

8:00 was iconic, especially for Chad Mostert. This exact part was legendary, He was pretty much a child on the hill and won it

[@robvegas9354]

[@uraniumcranium2613]

Sadly they missed the 2011 Bathurst win between Garth Tander and Craig Lowndes, One of the best finishes in along time..

[@daveduffy1755]

The last lap battles are in cars that are race worn and makes these laps so exiciting

[@35manning]

There was three cases of running out of fuel in that video. The redress rule basically says if you hit another car out of you way, spin it, run it off the track etc, you can slow down and let them overtake you to make it "OK", if you don't do that you get a penalty.

[@rennelope]

If you can find a copy online of the gull 2014 Bathurst 1000 that Chaz wins at 8:18, it's one of the absolute best runnings of that race ever. Chaz Mostert and his co-driver, Paul Morris, actually won that race after starting in last place on the grid (of 25 cars total). So good.

[@elementalsheep2672]

It's up on the official Supercars channel if anyone is interested.

The one that matters!!! You can win all races, especially Bathurst, as long as you are there in the last 10 mins of the race..

[@6226superhurricane]

[@Twinno22]

Jamie Whincup is arguably the GOAT of Supercars. 7 championships, 124 race wins, 4 bathurst wins, 226 podiums, 92 pole positions. Even won the Bathurst 12hr in a Ferrari alongside his teammates in 2017.

[@genie674]

Everytime i see Bathurst it reminds me of my brother and the passion he had for the race. He passed away in 1999. ❤

[@bremCZ]

In that last one, you can't hit a guy out if the way and take an advantage, but if you do it, you can avoid penalty by allowing the hit car back past you. This one was the last lap, so the red car slowed down in an attempt to let the blue car back past and in doing so, avoid the penalty. The driver of the blue car slowed down and didn't allow the redress to happen before they'd crossed the finish line ensuring a penalty for the red car. It was very smart, and devious racing.

[@Newylife]

Newcastle is my awesome hometown. We're an hour and a bit north of Sydney. Unfortunately we don't host the Supercars here anymore, but the event was very popular with the supercars comminity. Not every day you see a race car weaving around highrise buildings with the best beaches in NSW on the other side 🤩 My dad raced a V8 supersedan at the Newcastle Speedway, so motorsport is in my DNA. I've also worked at several Supercar events. Anyone coming to Australia in October needs to put the Bathurst 1000 on their list! It's truly a breathtaking experience

[@Rassskle]

For excitement and top class racing, watch the last 10 or more laps of the 1994 Bathurst 1000. With a wet finnish, a young Craig Lowndes in his first Bathurst tries everything to pass a very talented and experienced John Bowe in the rain. Lowndes was unbelievably quick in the rain and was making his Holden Commodore dance in the rain. Bowe was using every bit of natural talent , skill , experience and trickery to stay ahead...... at a speed he would rather not attempt in the rain........some of the best racing and driving ever...... and Craig Lowndes was an unknown just starting his career.

[@climax522]

Bowe was renowned for blocking others from passing .....

[@Rassskle]

@@climax522 They all block because the rules allow it..... I think Bowe was fair. Gentleman Jim Richards was the driver allowed to cheat and get away with it. And now we have Verstappen...... he can deliberately try to slam Ricciardo into the wall, then brake test him, and no penalty and Ricciardo has to apologies for being quicker .

[@Navitori]

Another one to check out is the 1995 Bathurst 1000. Larry Perkins and Russell Ingall put on one of the most impressive drives at the venue.

Jamie Whincup is the GOAT of the Supercars series. He has won 7 Championships, 4 Bathurst 1000s, has 124 Race Wins, 87 Pole Positions and 267 Podiums. He retired from full time racing in the series at the end of 2021 and is now in charge of RedBull Ampol Racing (Triple Eight Race Engineering). He is now a co-driver to Broc Feeney (who replaced Whincup) which means he still competes at endurance events. He will compete in the Sandown 500 and the Bathurst 1000 with Broc Feeney later this season👍

@@SirDeweyRoyalKnightOfBebahan Whincup through away (him and the team) the 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and potentially the 2019 Bathurst 1000, even 2010 he probably could've beaten Lowndes pace wise at the back end. He could possibly have 10 Bathurst's, and remember, 3 of their Bathurst wins were together. I love Lowndesy, absolute legend on and off the track and a crowd favourite. But the way Whincup dominated him for years and years at Triple Eight just (in my opinion) proves to me Whincup was better. They spent 13 years as teammates at Triple Eight and Whincup beat him 11 of the 13 years. And the stats of having double the Pole Positions and double the Championships just tell me Whincup is the GOAT. That's just my opinion but man I love both!

Number 3 was Newcastle in NSW, a picturesque and challenging street circuit. Notice how strategy in fuel management plays a huge role in some outcomes. Many times these guys have avoided a pit stop for fuel but then have to drive much more conservatively to [hopefully] finish. Tyre degradation also features heavily. Drive too hard and you have no rubber left and lap times blow out. Throw in safety car interventions [and there are often many, due to driver over-enthusiasm] and your pit stop, fuel and tyre management plans go out the window.

[@danmc_2783]

I have to disagree with some of this. I would've said Adelaide followed by the Gold Coast for street circuits but I'm now going to have to say that Newcastle is my favourite of the street tracks, particularly now that they're really no longer the GP and Indy circuits they were.. Bathurst of course is technically a public road but it's really an enclosed circuit, though arguably one of the greatest in the world. It's received much greater recognition worldwide in say the past couple of decades but for far longer than that drivers and motorsports enthusiasts from around the world would prick up their ears and gain a light in their eyes at the word Bathurst. Having said all that he Phillip Island GP circuit is I feel sadly is underrated and ranks up there with Mount Panorama and any other track you care to name, not just in Australia but around the world. It's a different beast to Bathurst but it's every bit the beast with it's flat-out sweeping curves carving up hill-and-down-dale with Bass Straight rising up in front of you as you come over the crest on the Gardner Straight at over 280km/h in a Supercar or 350km/h on a MotoGP 😳

Gone are the days when you watched the race on a Sunday and went and brought the car that won on a Monday those were the days of awesome racing now they're all the same under the bonnet with a different shell on them

no.3 is in Newcastle where im from, i always work as a promo girl for the V8s here, i just get to walk around promoting beer and taking photos, dont have to spend an insane amount of money to get a ticket lmao - cheat code ;) super tight track though its on city roads that are old and cramped, definitely NOT built for this hahaha

[@the1972bulldog]

I'd rather watch V8 Supercars anyday. More grunt and fightin than vrooooooooooom gone. Proud as too as my sons working for one of the teams. Awesome stuff. Van Gisberg just done a NASCAR race and they reckon his footwork is 2nd to none. The NASCAR drivers were blown away 😂, theres a video but yeah the Americans just couldnt believe it and I'm pretty sure he won the race and he'll go there in the next few years

The cars are around 1.5tonnes. They'll try to minimise weight by filling up to the millilitre to get any weight advantage.

No.3 I believe was Newcastle.

11:49 Real racing

[@acheronus1998]

You asked at 7:56 "the speed???" Avg top speed down Conrod Straight is around 300kph... 😂

the last one!!! so car 11 spun car 97 on the last corner. under the rules if car 11 then let 97 past again he would not get a penalty. which could be 5 sec or more. so he slowed down to let 97 past before the checkered flag (last lap), but 97 didn't pass him (deliberately) which means 11 got the penalty and effectively lost more point of his championship

Maaaaaaaate let me tell ya the V8s are incredible live. I went to the F1 in Melbourne this year, because I too have followed F1 near my whole life so 40 something years and the disappointing thing is that the V8s (and F2's for that matter) are louder than F1. I miss the roar of the 80s and 90s of F1 as I went to every Adelaide F1 gp too. The commentary team is much better too because they just want hard racing and they're not biased poms like you get on sky F1 feed. But you'd love seeing a Supercars race live, I've folded on the H v F thing now and yeah the cars look ok, I'm just glad I saw the red v blue battles and if you know, you know.

That was Newcastle mate

[@beano9343]

4:57 A funny year when a few other manufactuers got in on it. Nissan and Volvo. Later died off again Could have been good but they pulled out

[@jenniferharrison8915]

I watched no 10 live, and seriously wanted the New Zealander, Von Gisbergen to lose - this is our race! 😁 So many heroes, but Peter Brock was the best! Chas Mostyn, Jamie Wincup and Craig Lowndes are incredible! They are so brave, passing is so dangerous! Fuel levels can create a real issue at the end! Newcastle was the venue of no 2! No 1 was so stressful, and so close! These guys are dead serious! 😳😟

[@skeriicain]

That's how tight they weigh the fuel in the tank end of the race no fuel in tank, no tread on tyres, nothing left to give.

[@brettsutherland8390]

My favourite is number 5, it had so much lead up to it (I guess they all do) but I was screaming at the tv

[@janeenr]

Looks like you're now a fan of Australian Supercar racing. 👍

[@Sully1911]

You need to watch the v8 utes, there is some insane crashes and great finishes. Even better watching the truck racing dam that’s some driving skill
