Um...you were so aggressive in the first minute!!!! - very exciting and in the top four!!!. I don't quite understand after that ....why are you not changing down a gear a Druids? That orange Commodore smoked you there at 3:07 and you appear to be in 4th, or too high a gear anyway At Druids you seem to be giving everyone an extra 1/2 second due to too high a gear?? Anyway just my thoughts. Not sure you can run this circuit using just two gears even with the 5 litre's grunt. All the best anyway. I will keep following you. I note you're doing around 51.90's and Greg Murphy in his 2009 Commodore was doing 50 flat in another YT video although he had a lot of traffic there !! So credit to you! Is this an actual ex-Aussie touring car or an amateur build?

Absolutely awesome Abbie, also thinking that some of those Monaro's were built with an 8L V8 (for the 2002/03 Bathurst 24Hr) so giving them a run would have been fantastic. Great to hear and see them running especially at Donnington. Sorry you had technical issues, you looked pretty relaxed driving it even with shaky brakes
@PiDsPagePrototypes9 ай бұрын
TBH, it looks like it's not aero, power, and certainly not braking skill, but the gearbox that makes the real difference, with the newer car having 6 ratio's ready for anything while IIRC your car only has the four speed, the top gear of which I don't think you used a single time in this vision, suggesting the diff ratio is also to tall for this track. Edit: kept watching, you did use top later in the vision.
@AbbieEaton9 ай бұрын
Yes the Monaro is nearly 30 years newer than the Commodore. Where the Monaro is stronger is Sector 1 & 2, which is where aero and the grip of the Monaro allow it to pull away (not mentioning the fact it has another 100bhp than us too! lol!) But what I’m saying is that with some decent brakes on the car we are only 1 tenth a lap down on the Monaro lap time as it is, so the brakes will close that time up too. Gearbox wise at the start when the tyres are cold you don’t reach 4th gear. The Monaro should be a good 5-7 seconds down the road with a decent peddler at the wheel anyway.

You're spot on, a full time driver should be further down the road in the Monaro, but any little mistake, that Commodore of yours is right on it's tail.
