Love it. The stage time is already ruined, might as well put on a show for the fans and photographers lol.

[@UncleJoeMedia]

Yeah, I agree! But I think the stage time might have been a bit down from the second he got into a Commodore to go rallying :D But 100% for heart & the show! It was fun.

[@ironized]

@@UncleJoeMedia is he quick? Probably not but I bet he is having fun.

[@sockpuppetbitme]

Looks like he slipped on the grass coming into that corner.

So slow 🤣 but so fucking cool to see a commo with basically the only traction on the front wheels for the whole video 🤣

[@Kneedragon1962]

The quickest way to get along any given stage? Perhaps not, but that sure as hell looks and sounds like massive fun! He can drive a little bit, that lad, even if he can't find reverse ~

[@tweakintrax6097]

Wouldn't have it any other way

[@david54900]

I’ve seen the inside of the car in a different video. Reversing I believe takes a while since it’s a sequential automatic transmission so he has to dial back a few gears manually using a lever before he can reverse

[@davidwoodbridge6507]

It’s because of safety, he had to wait for the signal from the referee

[@Flash_AU]

you could tell old mate was having the time of his life rather then being compedative well done champ

[@zippityzbrake]

When he spun in the last clip, I knew he was having a laugh with his co driver and discussing the best spot for a donut. He had to turn around it's a perfect spot, why not lol

[@andy2906]

Never going to win any rally stages being so heavy but looks a hoot to drive, decent balance

[@brianglendenning1632]

I vaguely recall Modern a motor magazine doing a test on the HDT Magnum, based on the Statesman. Peter Brock demonstrated the car, and made the comment about a Statesman based rally car. Now that would be superb.

[@jamie00091]

This car competed in the ARC component of the WRC up at Coffs Harbour a few years back, the mechanics from one of the factory teams saw it and came over to ask questions about it. They had never seen a car like it and laughed at the crazy horsepower as you can't use it all on the gravel but loved it!

[@Irmscherj96]

Very spectacular and great sound. It’s a shame Holden don’t build cars anymore.

[@muaythai193]

We need more RWD Rally classes! Who cares if they are slower, as long as all competitors have RWD it gets exciting, and imo much more fun to watch.

[@caellumrevolta2839]

Love the v8, the race transmission and the gear change sounds.

[@nazimelon6653]

Euro-rally: Efficient, all wheel drive, souped up it with bigass boost, all the electronic control, all of the balance Aussie rally: But consider, manual v8.

[@donswier]

Here in the states, someone will occasionally enter a Fox Body V8 Mustang or an old Sierra with a V8 swap, or a Lexus IS V8, and remind us all how good that sound is bellowing through the woods. EV rally cars will not be worthy! ...Fine for commuting but not this.

[@isakjohansson7134]

Efficient?!

[@nazimelon6653]

@@isakjohansson7134 yes efficient They are restricted to 380hp from a 1.6 turbo, rallycross shows those engines are capable of 600+ for good periods of time Thats at least 237hp/per liter, more when derestricted.

@@nazimelon6653 Yeah i meant in terms of thermal efficiency

[@cbiltcliffe]

@@nazimelon6653 A stock LS 5.3 litre bottom end can handle in the neighbourhood of 1350 hp. That's 255 hp/litre. It's not that these V8s are inefficient.... it's that they're ridiculously detuned, so typical drivers don't kill themselves.
