Kangaroo near miss : Bathurst 2007

[TheAnonymous6818]

Some people dont know their cars. That safety car was a Chrysler 300 C

[sukofuko]

thats good driving

[mddawson1]

@Aussieisbest94 I think one of the support categories that year were the sports cars which had Dodge Vipers in it.

[xjp8x]

Silly kangaroo roads are for cars not kangaroos!

[codenamecordon]

it is weird, that they don't have road sense. but what is even more weird, is that they're not afraid of the racing engines' sounds. I mean, sure, we got animals crossing the roads sometimes, but they're very scared, and try to get off the road as quickly as possible, and I have only seen one rabbit on the track, but that was, when quite low cc motorcycles were racing(100cc 4-stroke), in every other class, there has never been a problem with an animal on track. well, atleast in Estonia...

[rockinatmidnight]

PISS OFF SKIPPY! Thats pretty mad though I have to say.

[Dunnybrusher]

It probably left a pile of shit at McPhillamy

[jpreader2]

Mate! I was there when that happened, so scary & so lucky that kangaroo didn't get hit.

[polak4lyf]

SO SCARY!

[vsboy25]

those v8 super cars are my fav cars on earth.the sound alone is scary shit.

i feel for the little joey lucky it made it out.

[spam1237]

ah damn thought it was you. Don't get my hopes up.

[08superdad]

throw another joey on the barbie mate

[jc1200jc1200]

crazy aussies...g'day mate

[V1etlilaZnkiD]

look at 0:04 you see the cars wheel on fire. :D

[08superdad]

that was the exhaust you moron

[ToiletMaker]

That's because in V8 Supercars the brakes get so hot at times. I think there's an awesoem vid on here somewhere of a camera inside the brake assembly!

/watch?v=Bno2qeEbXGw

[Pokerboy12345]

LMFAO only in australia

[DodgeChallengerules]

IM pretty sure that kangaroos luck ended... its in another vid...

Or it was probably another kangaroo trying to be as awesome...and died...

[YOTTR]

i am sure that the kangaroo will never cross paths with cars again!

[phonix032]

shit who showed this roo the movie bout jacky legs ? now its gonna be playing chicken with trains and start police chases.

[GT4GTR]

I live in a rural area and there are a lot more roos here than you will ever find in the cities...

[camo789]

Goddamnit are roos not the dumbest animals in creation? They'd be stuffed is they had any natural predators. They like run alongside cars then play chicken with you at 120 and dart onto the road at 150kgs.

[StillBoy1992]

They're good. Did the right thing ^^

[outagudnames]

Yaay Bathurst this weekend

Thanks for posting mddawson1

[mib666]

Australia is a great country! I'm British and planning to live in Queensland, in my opinion the greatest and most amazing place on this planet. All you wankers posting rude comments about Oz, can fuck off and die of cock cancer

[glorp896]

@mib666

i like oz, but i'm not sure i'd want to have you as a tour guide

[Cakerolled]

@mib666

QLD is a shithole. Too hot, and full of wankers.

[jesse6788]

@mib666 STFU and get a job.

[mike21b]

[andrewdabbo]

Both the drivers and the kangaroo make me so proud to be an Australian.. !! Every good Aussie has balls and compassion!

[CMCHRYSLERVALIANT]

very very true mate

[MistaEks]

"Both the drivers and the kangaroo make me so proud to be an Australian".... thats hilarious!.... you are taking the pi** ?

[BigMac12121983]

I'm glad this can't happen in American racetracks, especially Daytona Int. Speedway or Talladega Superspeedway.

I'm glad to hear that both the marsupial and the drivers didn't get hurt.

[IamTheShermanator]

yea, but at Daytona, you gotta wory about the seagulls! D:

[mddawson1]

Seagull hood ornaments?

[IamTheShermanator]

yup, thats exactly what happened to Dale Earnhardt at the Daytona 500 one year. It got splattered on the hood of the car and one of the pit crew had to wipe it off.

[19escort73]

at pihllip island in 2001 Mark Skaife hit a seagull and smashed his windscreen. It's on youtube so you should try typing in Mark Skaife Phillip Island 2001 and you will see it. You can even hear the WACK when it hits the car.

[PYLrulz1984]

@mddawson1

Type in Dale Earnhardt Daytona Seagull, and you will see what he means.

[mddawson1]

I wonder what its lap time was???

[Sabresfan4851]

lol the roo minding his own business

[bourbonman666]

i wouldve hit da bloody thing lol they've got more body parts back in da pits plus it was a FORD dat almost hit it wouldve written it off haha

[iDontKnowOfficer]

roflll so random it cam outta nowhere

[specdecible]

every year at bathurst there is a kangaroo on the track...

[00MaxSE]

Wow, close call there.

[Mikeyrulz619]

i was at the top of the mountain at reid park where porter was killed and everyone was shouting "SKIPPY"

[mikerogan]

WTF!!!

[SocietysNitemare]

WE LOVE YOU SKIPPY!!!

[nlrod]

it looks like the roo is going heaps slow because its next to the v8s but i bet it was going really fast

[clutsta]

Im surprised the yobbos didnt try and catch it and eat it- considering the aussies are the only ones who eat their national symbol!

[Bubbz666]

i was watching it happen i thought it had gotten hit for sure. they carried it past me it wasnt moving,happy to see it didnt get hit.

[guarana80]

Remember a couple of years back when one got hit coming up the mountain. Very dead Kangaroo.

[f0bsessed]

haha i was there i was like 10 metres away from where they caught it

[SolzVIDEO]

A near miss, wouldn't that be nearly missing, thus a hit? Just Kidding... nice footage.

[kdmoccd]

the roo would have won the race if it wasnt hit hahahahaha

[fatmanwilso]

i seen that haha

[loky44]

It's a stunt roo,like on Skippy

[zambox99]

[AUSSIEBOII13]

i was there wooo

[xb250power]

2007??? with all the AUs looks more like 2004ish

[mddawson1]

Its the Fujitsu support race where they run older model V8 supercars. I can assure you this happened on 6/10/07.

[grenangle]

[jorjor31]
