Stole this from another site, thanks to the commodore guys over at Bertie Street.

Interesting and good fun, but hardly accurate.

The VK video started first by quite a bit, but the VE had all but caught up by the end of mountain straight. Then the VK video had a bit chopped out over the top which caused it to jump well ahead again coming onto conrod straight.

I don't think it was intended to be a speed comparison but I'm sure plenty of people will take it that way

Lap records

Group C: 2:15.13 - Peter Brock (1984 - Holden VK Commodore)
Group A 2:14.50 - Mark Skaife (1991 - Nissan Skyline GT-R R32)
V8 Supercars: 2:08.4651 - Jamie Whincup (Ford BF Falcon)
V8 Utes: 2:34.9815 - Kim Jane (Holden VE Ute SS)
Greg Murphy (Holden VY Commodore) during the Top Ten Shoot Out in 2003 (2:06.8594)

What was the A9X's Lap record in 79? Just for comparison...

1979 Fastest Lap - #05 Peter Brock - 2:21.1

love the ute time.

We did 2.42.15 in the hatch at Drive Bathurst 2 years ago, first day, in the wet, on used rubber, without top gear on conrod.

I love the place.

skaife's a wanker and will allways be a wanker,never has time to spend signing autographs even on saturday at bathurst could understand if it was sunday at least brocky no matter what he had on would stop sign and have a chat to his fans.

[Potta]

Thats a bit harsh on Skaifey isn't it?

You can't compare any one to Brocky in terms of time he gave to the fans.

Remember towards the end of his career he was not only a driver but a team owner too.

He may still be a w@nker but you can't base that judgement on whether he gave as much time to the fans as Brocky.

I'm off to watch the vid now, should be good.

[brocks72xu1]

he was still the same when he was a driver,not owning a team, never had time even when your holding a 3 month old baby asking to sign his race suit,just keeped walking,unless your a lady with your t^^s half hanging out you got a chance

[rodomo]

And there are others..................

[A9X]

Hard to compare the two guys,

You obviously never met the man...or either of them for that matter...correct..of the 2 there was a wanker...Mark isn't the one.

rory ive been going and watching the touring for well over 13 years and have only missed one event because my daughter was due to be born on that weekend,have asked him every race meet to sign stuff but doesnt even acknowledge you even on friday and saturday ,thats why to me he is a wanker but others have different prosective,as for meeting them ive even had peter at my house and he allways came to the hospital and spent alot of time with my little boy when he was very sick

[orangeLJ]

Never had a problem with Skaifey, all the times Ive met him/bumped into him he has always been polite and willing to sign stuff (even at the shops or the speedway)

That said, you cant always stop for every person, and once you sign one thing, you sign a hundred before the fans let you leave without feeling like a wanker.

It would be interesting if Brocky was only in his 20's now and racing in V8 Supercars,And watch Lap Record Times Tumble and wins go through the roof,As P.B was amazing in the Torana's and VB,VC,VH,VK,VL Dore's.
And with the New VE V8 Supercar Dore's with there better handling and more grunt and a Young Peter Brock behind the Wheel,im sure Brocky would of left Skaify in his wake.
Brocky is the Bruce Lee of Touring Car Racing,as i use Bruce as a Yardstick in anything Due to How hard and how much he love to train to be the Best at what he did,and was.
Brocky 9 Bathurst Wins proves he the Grandmaster of the Touring Car Racers,and all other Drivers are a Distant Second.
Plus if you met brocky,he was very interested in his fans,and thats why he the Peoples Champ.

I have meet both of these guys over the years at the track and away from it.
And i'am sorry to say but Mark is a drop kick wanker with his knose so far up his arse it isn't funny
I also know people who when to school with him and they have said he is still the same as he was back then and he had very few friends at school too because how he treated people.
