Jenson Button takes on Bathurst in his McLaren

@dirkcollaer1976 , The best track in the world is defiantly Mt Panorama

aryton could easily beat that time in his ol' mclaren

Yeah but Jenson drives it better.

the corner first seen at 1:55 looks really nice

You failed! The best Track in the world is the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring!

All opinion, so no he didnt fail... idiot...

Isle of man TT.... best to watch

the greatest track in the world no doubt is Mt Panorama - Bathurst, NSW. Australia. every driver from all over the world who has driven on it, has confirmed it .

nope, the best track in the world is either Spa francorchamps or monaco Grand Prix track

Definitely Spa or Silverstone are the best

But what about Monaco?

yeah right , monaco is a fucking slot car track. they just make a big deal out of it because of all the parties, yatches and shit

and the fact that its 70 laps of pushing your car to the limits inches from each wall testing mental and physical endurance to the maximum

gee that mclaren looked good going round the mountain

Fuck witt

I have raced at both tracks. Bathurst is fantastic and it goes uphill fast and down hill even faster. The nurburgring does not have the this garduation in the circuit but not better, just different. Both excellent!

PUT THIS TRACK on the F1 calendar! That'll seperate the men from the boy's!!!

even Nurburgring specialists have said that Bathurst is far more challenging.

Aussie Aussie Aussie, oi oi oi!

no its not. because 1) spa is flat (bathurst has a 570 ft elevation and a max 1:6.12 gradient) 2) spa is not ultra dangerous like bathurst (bathurst hardly has any run off areas or grass on the edges of the asphalt - just concrete walls) 3) spa 's corner designs are straight from the textbook (bathurst's unorthodox corners set you up to miss the racing line)

1:48:88

Yes but once your used to the speed of bikes it's not that bad. batherat has killed people as well, around 10 or so 1 guy had a heart attack while going around and crashed full speed into the walk bridge near the kink then the kink came out due to a guy just going straight ahead and crashing into the wall at 200+kph flipping the car and landing where the people watch the cars. it looks simple but times it by so many laps and things change quick.

nup best track in the world is le mans - circuit de la sarthe

Spa is flat?! Idiot.

Relative to Bathurst.

1 of my top 5 tracks.... I mean my #1 track in the world. Nice lap Button in the F1 car. =)

Have you ever been to Spa? Have you seen the elevation of Eau Rouge? It's set in hills!!!! Not ultra dangerous like Bathurst? Do you not know anything about motor racing, Spa has killed 23 race drivers and is the 8th most dangerous racetrack in the world Bathurst didn't make the list. So which of Spa's corners are designed by text book other than the bus-stop chicane? . I think you need to get out more.

No, I've not been to spa. The elevation is less than half that of Bathurst. Bathurst is dangerous because it's easier to crash into the concrete fence, that to get a late apex. Bathurst's corners are dangerous because there are downhill brake-turn in sections all over the track. It has the fastest chicane/100R corner of any touring car track in the world. You're bouncing off the rev limiter in top gear at 300+Km/h, and you brake only once you've cleared the chicane. This bit is called the chase.

Spa has all of that too the downhill late apexes the fast turns. But the most impressive is the steep climb through Eau Rouge, sure it might only be half the elevation of Bathurst but it is certainly not a flat track. They had to move the barriers because people kept dying there. The V8's through the speed trap at Bathurst are only going 293kph, I know Bathurst, I've also been to Spa, Nurburgring, Goodwood, Silverstone, Dijion and others. Also been to a few tracks throughout Australia..

Daryl only knows how to turn left, So of course Bathurst will scare the shit out of him.

Actually it's 303 and sometimes 304 Km/h through the chase during qualifying. That speed trap is 400m from the turn in point at the chase. But one way to describe Bathurst, is a twisty single lane two way roofless tunnel going up and down a mountain, and yes it's a mountain because the peak is more than 300m above sea level. Just a bit of general knowledge there.

I know Bathurst. My general knowledge is fine. I'm not saying it isn't a great track. It's just still not Spa or the old Nurburgring.

oran park was the best track.............................for the spectators lol you could see just about anywhere on the track from where you were sitting. may it rest in peace

i live here. its not the best track but its fucking interesting!

What's the go? We didn't get times or Button's opinion on the comparison between the vehicles....

I wish I could keep clicking the vote up till it reach's 1000000

Best current race track is Spa

wow i never thought i would see that ... one the best race tracks in the world and a f1 car ripping it up! .... bit of a culture shock to dickie johnson and peter brock in their fords and holdies ... awesome!

So, what time did he get?

the fia should think about replacing melbourne with bathurst it would be awesome

There are many great tracks in the world but Daytona and its endless left turn does not excite me

Or the men from the prima donna's.....

LOL here in australia we call daytona lefty lucy

I'd like to see him after a few hours of practice on this track.

Woah the noise!!! Almost forgot what they used to sound like.

That isn't his Mclaren. It's a pre 2009 spec car.

Holy aspect ratio fuck up, Batman!

Conroad straight?
