this was from the days that they had real cars and modified them to race with, nowadays v8 super cars are like watching formula1, bloody lame, they are basically the same machine except for driver, engine and suspension setup(and yes body shape) but tyres, suspension, fuel tanks even are all the same, takes the fun out of it, come on, who remembers Brock(RIP mate) flogging those ford v8's in his little 6banger torana!
@lemans24fan lol Absolutely, he'd have to throw in the occasional crash, y'know, just to give the opposition some false hope, before crushing them immediately! :-)
most touring cars and even todays v8 supercars use nascar parts and development experience. Nascar run extremely finely tuned and advanced tech considering the restrictions.
@coomiekid looking at the engine parts.. Nascar block, Nascar heads.. most likely Nascar running gear or the same gear with different measurements for the rules. I think from memory the crankshaft is in a different location because of the v8's rules.. im not fully sure.
Some of these kids seem almost proud of their ignorance- "Oo throw a right at a nascar, watch the luls!". These iditos forget about tracks such as Road America, Watkins glen, Gilles Villeneuve, Infineon raceway, etc. Nascars can and regularly do compete on road-courses, very well in fact. Now im hardly a "nascar fan", I simply enjoy all forms of motor sports, be if f1, rally, or nascar, and recognize the skills involved with each. Nascars turn more than just left kiddies.
@iShiftFaced F1 cars are very different from one another, you need to take a closer look at them and not just a quick glance. It's hard to distinguish racing bikes from one another by the way they look, but at least they do look like actual bikes you can buy. I like NASCAR but my biggest problem is that they are nothing like actual cars, just a body with some stickers over the surface.
@iShiftFaced thats why I dont watch F1, dont even really like motorcycles. Le mans is probably my favorite, the gt class. Those cars use engines dirrectly derived from street engines with bodys that are almost identical to the production versions. Im not saying that the cars, drives, or teams arent incredible, i just like seeing a car that i could actually by racing another car that i could actually buy. Thats what nascar WAS about, "win on sunday,sell on monday".
@iShiftFaced nascar is a pale shadow...of itself. cookie cutter cars, cookie cutter driver personalities, and no real attachment to the automakes they race for. none of the fords look like fords,none of the chevys look like chevys,or share a single body panel with them. its good racing, but u cant rote for you fav car coz the all look the same, and all the drivers have the same manufactured personality.
LOL.. This is how you watch nascar. Watch the first lap then leave the room for 2 hours, come back for the final lap. Since you've missed nothing it's alright, all they are doing is turning left.. Toss in a hidden right turn and you got yourself trouble.
@iShiftFaced it takes place in a circle and i've never seen them race in even a light sprinkle not to mention if they get even a little sideways into the wall they go. nascar is a pale shadow of a motorsport compared to touring cars
To all you guys saying "if only touring cars were like this these days", have you watched V8's recently? It's still mental. I'm an F1 man, but really, you can't go past the excitment of V8 Supercars. Hamilton this year was the most mental race I've watched in ages, cars sliding everywhere and the lead changing constantly.
@Shumacher5 Yeah the V8 Supercars are still a great sight belting around the track, just wish the cars on the track were still closely related to the car in the showroom, other than basic body shape I don't think there's a single common part between them.
@sw96 Near showroom stock cars are consistently driven at bathurst and other events... 6 and 12 hour events aswell, so if thats not enough motor car then i dont know what is.
@Shumacher5 agreed! last 15 laps of bathurst this year was epic. F1 could learn so much from other motorsports about how to keep he fans on the edge of their seat.
@gojohnson48 races are won on corners - by corners I mean those turning left and right, varying radii, and dips and hills. The only exciting race on NASCAR's racing season is when they race on the Infineon. Besides, what do the spoilers do on the NASCAR racecars? They are essentially speed brakes. What the hell are the race "engineers" thinking?
"Dang it Cletus, we goin' get ourselves a maaaghty beast. Let's put on this metal plate on the back end so our Lord Jesus chraaast can do his magic"
trying to compare different categories is pointless. they all have apsects of their racing that people will either like or loath. this doesnt make them any less difficult to get to the top. a prime example would be marcus ambrose from v8 supercars, obviously talented, wins 2 championships and goes to nascar to start from the bottom to make his way into the sprint cup. if you still think nascars easy how about you ask him.
@cao57 why does everyone rip into NASCAR? not just you mate but a lot of people...It takes a hell of a lot of skill to drive a car round a track at 300kmh. even if it is an oval. Each type of motorsport requires a very different type of skill for each one. when will people accept that?
@mini4life92 I actually thought the same way about NASCAR drivers not so long ago, until I watched a couple of very close races in the Winston Cup. Those guys, besides being really good tacticians, also have balls of steel. I mean it looks simple from your favorite chair in the living room, but I am sure it's far from that. All I wanna say to those that think NASCAR is simple is to give it a shot in Gran Turismo 5 or in any proer simulator on the top difficulty level.
@mini4life92 The reason people rip on NASCAR is not beacuse it dosent take skill its beacuse its possibly the most boring sport ever (NFL is a close second, NRL all the way.) and to be completly honest it dosent take more skill than pretty much all forms of motorsport. V8 super cars go 300kmph then brake to 100kmph take the corect line though a corner whilst feathering the gas into the exit of the corner. NASCAR go 300kmph follow close to car pass.. be passed.. drafting drafting.. borning.
@m00seimu5 Van you drive a car at 300kmh inches from a wall and bumping another car??? Even though its an oval, yes i'll agree it can get pretty boring. but there is still just as much skill involved to keep those cars pointing in a straight line as any other type of motorsport...
@mini4life92 Dont know id give it a go tho. but think about it other race cars have the same power and need to control that car around corners that are all different, with other cars bumping into them. to control a car at 300kmph is hard but to go from 0-150-60-250-40 and so on is harder. have you driven a powerful car around a tight corner while pushing the gas. to do that fast takes skill.
@m00seimu5 nascars have no power steering, they have very little downforce, in excess of 800hp not 600 like these, the tracks are often bumpy like this too, and infact there are a number of tracks on the nascar calender that are short and require constant accelerating and braking, and feathering of the throttle :) have you ever watched an entire nascar race to absorb all the facts and stuff before coming to a conclusion like you have? GAH, now we are being keyboard warriors...yay for us...not
@mini4life92 While I am a diehard Nascar fan, I must correct you on one thing. They do, in fact, have power steering. There are numerous instances in past races where a driver has lost power steering due to the belt breaking or pump failing ( they do not use a serpentine belt like street cars ). When they do lose it, the car becomes a bear to drive, and while the drivers have the stamina to finish the race, the can't run competitive lap times without it.
@maverickfa14 thats pretty much the only help they have, no anti lock brakes, no speed limiters for pit road, nascar is about the pure raw mechanical skill, other forms of racing are highly technologically driven, i love all forms of racing and respect the drivers of all, to do this takes balls and skill, i still dont get why people rip on one form of racing, just doesnt make sense to me
@operationcwaI789789 ford is the most dominitive make in touring car history and ford originated in the U.S. where most of them are made so if it werent for NASCAR rednecks you wouldnt have ever had good touring car racing.
@FIREDELL10 Well no your saying that without NASCAR, ford wouldn't exist which isn't the case.NASCAR has nothing to do with the beginning of ATCC/V8 supercars, Ford and Holden were the 2 dominant manufacturers back in the 60's/70's that started the bathurst rivalry which went on to what we see today. If NASCAR inspired this why arnt they racing on ovals instead of using skill and ability on road courses?
@Nbsimons18 im not saying ford wouldnt exist if NASCAR didnt exist, how did you manage to get that? i said that nascar rednecks MADE ford cars. if it werent for nascar there wouldnt have been as much of a ford racing side, not ford in general.
@LambertHarry WTCC has some neat action at times but not so often
well I felt the urge to say a few things. Formula 1 develops many technologies that are eventually used in everyday cars.
Nascar has no tc no stability control and no ABS. neither does f1. and seriously why would you need brakes when all you do is turn left and step on the gas pedal?
I wish fia changed the aerodynamy and engine regulations and all other regulations. cos the main thing of f1 is technology and good engineering
For anyone who is interested...This race was in mid to late 1994.The EB's got those front spoiler side cut-outs homologated midway through 94 as holden (With the help from CAMS) had already just about sown up the championship...
@DontEatTheReaper wet track tires are grooved for treads and they are also a softer compound. Running them on dry tracks heats them up more than when running on wet, to the point they fail sooner. He's trying to keep them in the traction "sweet spot".
I think the title is more of a reference to Perkins rather then Bowe
But on your point of Bowe blocking in my opinion defensive drving can be considered great driving, particularly in a situation like this where Perkins was so obviously faster then Bowe and yet he was able to hold him off.
Fantastic!! the stuff legends are made of. Its been years since we've seen a race like this, the closest we get today is from ' the Giz' car #9 but nothing as good as this.
@sofranko101 no mate they are rear drive and run either a 302 Chev or 302 Ford windsor during this race. This was under the new (still current) super car rules where they run non original motors in the cars. A couple of years before this they were running the original block (Australian Holden 304 and a local version of the Cleveland ford v8). During this race in 1994 the cars them self were still very close to original but now days there's not really any factory parts left on them
@greenfoam This is actually incorrect, the ford ran a 302 windsor, otherwise known as a 5L windsor and was current for the EB2 XR8. The Ford Cleveland motor ended its career in 1984. The Holden 304 was current until 1993 but was succeeded by the Chev 302 as the Holden cylinder head would not flow as well as the Chev.
@sparkygl0s yeah you can get fwd sideways if you try, but v8 sc drivers try not to get sideways, but they kick out anyway. put simply rwd's for obvious reasons will always kick out better

Why was he driving on the wet parts of the track? They mentioned it, I just don't understand.

@DontEatTheReaper wet track tires are grooved for treads and they are also a softer compound. Running them on dry tracks heats them up more than when running on wet, to the point they fail sooner. He's trying to keep them in the traction "sweet spot".

Most Holdens used a 307 chev for cost, But Larry used a 304 Holden motor in his race cars though most of the 90's! Ford used a 302 windsor!

Best drive? That was bullshit Perkins was miles faster and Bowe just blocked him. Best blocking should be the title
Tizzzla 1 year ago
@Tizzzla
I think the title is more of a reference to Perkins rather then Bowe
But on your point of Bowe blocking in my opinion defensive drving can be considered great driving, particularly in a situation like this where Perkins was so obviously faster then Bowe and yet he was able to hold him off.

sofranko101 1 year ago
@sofranko101 no mate they are rear drive and run either a 302 Chev or 302 Ford windsor during this race. This was under the new (still current) super car rules where they run non original motors in the cars. A couple of years before this they were running the original block (Australian Holden 304 and a local version of the Cleveland ford v8). During this race in 1994 the cars them self were still very close to original but now days there's not really any factory parts left on them

@greenfoam I know this is old and im not neccessarily disagreeing with you here, just curious. Wasnt the chev a 307 as aposed to 302?
Antifaith29 1 year ago
@greenfoam This is actually incorrect, the ford ran a 302 windsor, otherwise known as a 5L windsor and was current for the EB2 XR8. The Ford Cleveland motor ended its career in 1984. The Holden 304 was current until 1993 but was succeeded by the Chev 302 as the Holden cylinder head would not flow as well as the Chev.

Are you saying you can't get FWD cars sideways. Try watching some BTCC.
sparkygl0s 1 year ago 2
@sparkygl0s yeah you can get fwd sideways if you try, but v8 sc drivers try not to get sideways, but they kick out anyway. put simply rwd's for obvious reasons will always kick out better
