2011 Bathurst 1000 Darrell Waltrip's first time on the mountain - "A Geological Oddity"

[DesotellRacing62]

Now he knows how Wally's guests felt on TNT

[Libertyracer]

Darrell was a bit skeered there for sure. Yeah its possible Darrell; those guys know the track, lol. Kinda sounded like me the first time I went 170 around a NASCAR track with the instructor trying to scare me too, lol

[PeterHBne1]

It is an amazing track to drive around. In a road car at normal speed you feel a bit scared. God knows what it's like in a V8 Supercar.

[blupsause]

He sounds like Ricky Bobby IM ON FIRE SAVE ME TOM CRUISE!!

[Haj333]

They took out the part where he says "I'm dying, I'm dying"!

[fanofdiesel]

This was the best race I watched all year.

[alexlees]

First right hand corner: "that is impossible, that just cant be done!"

[youhen01]

He sounds like ricky bobby

[bbodybenny]

And thats one of the old cars! the latest HSV cars are quicker again.

Bless his cotton socks though, obviously a little out of his comfort zone being in the passenger seat. Great vid, and a very honest response about his skid marks!

[antif1]

I laughed big tim with this dude! Tippical yankee, if the car turns both ways, they get scared! It was funny though...

[plane45036]

Simple minded rednecks, "this is impossible"...right... show you racing in a circle is for hillbillies

[CAllen6550]

I love the whole you can't race on a track like this....as if he knows :-) Too funny for words!!

[theMstanglover]

I don't know why, but he reminded me of Will Ferrell at that corkscrew part. 

[Bartman954]

@theMstanglover

Ahhhh!!! Help Jesus! Help me Jewish God! Help me Tom Cruise!!!!

[69HemiGTX]

Now we know where the inspiration for Ricky Bobby's charachter came from.

[fowheelburnoua]

Not the corkscrew, not the corkscrew!

[davzy]

and to think he actually raced fast cars

[nicar13578]

loved how he said, "oh the dipper!" at the cutting! classic american!

[TheSpiralPathways]

'Gotta work around the skid marks in my underwear' hahahaha :)

[sjariel]

Awesome!

[01C5SemperFi]

I think Darrell might be charged with murder here for making half of Australia and the U.S. laugh to death!!....LMAO.

[BobbyRossRacing93]

@01C5SemperFi I would like to see nascar race here :D

[01C5SemperFi]

@BobbyRossRacing93 It will never happen. But good wishful thinking though. However, I'd like to see NASCAR adopt these cars for thier road courses.

[BobbyRossRacing93]

@01C5SemperFi Mabey in the near future they will, IDK but after seeing this race for the first I was amazed.

[Ryan3621]

@01C5SemperFi V8 Supercars hit the brand new Austin circuit for a full championship race in 2013, i doubt it will be an endurance event like the bathurst 1000, but still... be great to see! Americans will love the V8s!! but i dont think im the only one who would say we wouldnt want the V8s to be included in any form of NASCAR, seeing a NASCAR at bathurst wouldnt be that great either. unless it was a comparo against a V8 Supercar, in which go for it, go it would get beaten by a mile! :D

[01C5SemperFi]

@Ryan3621 Yes I know they are coming to the US which friends and I have already commited in being there in person to watch these cars in action. But honestly, as a road racer myself and having friends who are NASCAR fans agree that the V8 super cars are better handeling cars in road racing then the stock cars. But this is just our opinion.

[Ryan3621]

@01C5SemperFi yeah thats what i am saying. the V8 Supercar would beat the NASCAR by a a fair bit. i work for dunlop motorsport fitting the tyres on the V8 Supercars, so i'll be in Austin for the race. will be quite a weekend! cant wait!

[01C5SemperFi]

@Ryan3621 Oh roger that. Yeah we can't wait either. Who knows, maybe we'll bumb into one another while we're there.

[racingfanTS14]

This guy isn't used to this kind of action at his advanced age lmao...I became a big Jason Bright fan after this...ole DW needs to get some of his own medicine driving people over the edge with his awful announcing. What a track, what a lap and making DW mess up his depends!

[tj47racer]

gotta love v8 supercars.

[zeeuwmeew]

nascar pussies ain't used to taking corners or what?

[jarethscrystalball]

It just goes to show how much skill our V8 Supercar drivers have. V8 Supercars shit on NASCAR. I sure as hell couldn't do a hotlap around Mount Panorama, & I've been a fan of the V8's for 17 years.

[jarethscrystalball]

Too funny! I laughed the entire way through!

[walover165]

*can't stop laughing* WELCOME TO THE MOUNTAIN DW!

[lianah8026]

woah that was an experience i just lost my lunch and i havent even had any yet lol

[gazket]

why didn't record the lap as it happened instead of chopping the lap up into pieces and playing it back with the track sections at random.

[ma55aracin9]

"oooohhhh.....the corkscrew.......NOT THE CORKSCREW!"

that's classic old DW at his greatest....PERIOD

[stfcitj1988]

Get him in a f1 car

[itbevics]

lmfao I havent stopped laughing since I saw this, absolute classic!!

[aesutton]

lol. NOT THE CORKSCREW! O_O

[StFidjnr]

welcome to the V8 supercars DW

[bduddy55555]

Waltrip won five NASCAR races at Riverside, including the last 500-mile one (not that much shorter than this race!). I guess Bathurst is something else, though...

[bduddy55555]

@bduddy55555 Err, he didn't win a 500-mile race, but he did participate in one.

[TheAntihero6212]

Is he doing this race for Speed? Or was he there at Bathurst just for this lap?

[hsv45racing]

@TheAntihero6212 He's covering it for Speed with Mike Joy ;)

[NASCARDesigns]

his voice cracked like 200 times xD

[Ryan3621]

@NASCARDesigns it sounds alot like what you would expect if Will Farrell was to get into the car haha

[MrFondestAlex]

I love his reaction xD

[Vandak91]

Yeah he didn't....lol

Give him a SHOCK!!!

Let him see what a road course racing should be like!!! =D

[TheCbreton]

Wow That's kinda silly, Darrell Waltrip is on the mountain for the first time

[martinfan44]

lol, I love this
