Such an enjoyable concept to watch with one major flaw involving the famous #05 A9X.
Unfortunately, Brock's car had a final drive ratio that was too short for Bathurst.
He was at maximum revs before Skaife passed him on Ccnrod Straight, and more than likely had a lower terminal speed than the Commodore road car.
I thought it was odd that he stopped making up ground after Forest Elbow but didn't put any more thought into it. That said, the road car was no slouch.

Steve 'Big Bird' Reed & Trevor Ashby were at or near the top of the privateer group in the early 90s.
I was lucky enough to go for laps at Sandown alongside Steve in the lead up to round 1 of the 1991 ATCC.
Just bedding in brake pads for 3 or 4 laps, but enough to experience that 500bhp + shove out of the corners and the power of the dinner plate sized brakes.
