Did you know??

[N/A®]

:confused:

I was told today that to this day, 13 years later after the R32 GTR ran Bathurst, their record time still stands!

Up to the most recent 2004 race with the big V8's 5.7?? litre and the technology (if you can call it that) Holdens and Ford have, they still are behind by 30 minutes??

I was told this today. Can anyone confirm this? If so, its pretty amazing stuff.

The V8s in the ford and the holden are 5 litres, and I think it is because they track was changed slightly, but other than that yeah... GTahhhhh

Well that would explain it then.

I don't think so, I heard the GTR lap record was broken about 5-6 years later on the same track, still damm impresive though!

P.S I heard this from my mates, sisters, cousin's, friends former room-mate

Lap time was broken. But that is pretty much expected cause of new tyre technology, not just engine alone.

That record in reference is the time for race distance. There are so much variables that can affect this, like weather, how many times pace car comes out, etc...

LOL, GTR lap time has been demolished by V8s, but as Silver says, overall race time still strands as a record, but pace cars etc play a huge part. I think if you look at the average race lap time around Bathurst in the V8s, given an accident free race (as if:)) they are quicker.

LOL...all this talk about 13yr old GTR lap recordes being quicker then todays tourers...how many ppl have forgetten that the R32 GTR was beaten by a VL Walkinshaw:)

....sh1t stir:)

[ylwgtr2]

or the XY GT (or XW cant remember)was beaten by a mini cooper

[Roy]

Of all cars, a VL beat the mighty R32 GTR Godzilla:)

Stir the pot.

Percy and Gricey:)

I prefer strawberries:confused:

[cul202]

The XY Falcs (& the E49s) were beaten by Brocky in an LJ GTR XU-1.

I remember the Percy and Gricey win! Quite funny I though at the time. But with any race that long it takes luck as well as a good team/car/driver.

PS beer is better than apples or oranges

I'm glad to see that someone knows that the only GODZILLAS were the 32 GTR Bathurst. Or at least I hope. I'm sick of all these people who drive GTR's and claim that they are a GODZILLA. Baby Godzilla is their real term.

My hail to the walky for she is a sweet vessel.

Hail Walky Hail.

My hail to all V8's coz they put up such a good fight...lol
