Re: Jaguar V12 sound and racing
From the days when Bathurst was a production car race.
The race track would have all types and classes from 4 cylinder Toyota's and Nissan's to that V12 Jaguar racing at the same time for 620 miles around that track, it was great to watch.
Now with V8 Supercars there is only Holden (GM) and Ford.
The current lap record for a V8 Supercar is 2.06.859 so that Jag is a little under 12 seconds slower (2.18.822) on a track that is much worse state than it's current conditions.
This is the most remembered finish of the race ever, Fords finish 1st and 2nd in coupes that are the same as what was later used in Mad Max.
