Love when James may said that was the best hot lap he’s ever had. Makes me feel proud of Holden’s even more
-
Thats what I love about Aussies..They are good people happy to share their experiences and toys with others. From a kiwi brother. :)

The memories of hot laps with Mark Larkham in his Mitre 10 car at the first ever Darwin event will top the list of life thrills forever ! No amount of muscle car blats can prepare you for the earth shaking rawness and sheer physical effort required to hold yourself upright and to stop your head bashing the roll cage ! And don't even think of waving to your mate at the pits ! And all thru it Mark is talking to you and explaining suspension adjustments ! Brilliant !😎👍
-
The V8 supercar drivers are the real stars!!
-
lowndes, one of the true decent blokes left in this world.
-
"who's idea was it to put the roll cage across the middle of the windscreen" Larry Perkins' actually. :)
-
2:30 James May "What's this do?" Craig, perpetual nice guy "That's...hahaha!"
-
Is there a youtube video that shows TOP GEAR STAR DRIVES CRAIG LOWNDES' V8 SUPERCAR because this one doesn't.
-
There is almost no point to this video. Why didn't they show the lads inside the car while on the laps?
-
Im no Holdon fan (Ford myself) but god that thing sounds amazing
-
Well theres 4 minutes of my life I'll never get back!
-
Clarkson and Lowndes plus a Commodore, EPIC!!!!
-
"I just want a lift to the shops mate what way are you going?" "that way."" yeah cool I jump in if that's alright." lolololololol
-
To answer your question Jeremy, it was Larry Perkins idea to put the roll bar across the windscreen. Hence the reason it was called the "Larry bar"
-
Love V8 Supercars! Best racing on tv.
-
Rollcage across the windscreen, that's called a Larry-bar as Larry Perkins cars first had it. Makes a huge difference for front end cage stiffness.
-
"There r 3 things I want from this car in my car. The brakes those feet n those hands." lol. Funniest response I heard.
-
I didn't see that, I was marshalling there. They have been limited in previous years, must have upped the ratios slightly. Still, they can be quicker than 310km/h.
-
Also note that he probably means the Bathurst lap when the V8s are limited by gearing to 299.9km/h, while the Ferrari is not.
-
I did get a laugh from 'what does this do?' though.. Almost got him.
