Take a six-time Aussie V8 Supercar champion, pair him with a three-time Aussie Formula One Grand Prix winner, and drop the two of them into one of Australia's most famous racing venues on the eve of the 2016 F1 world championship season. Set them against a backdrop of a picture perfect Melbourne autumn day. And then add the key ingredient – the fully race-spec'd Triple Eight Project Sandman. Sound like a recipe for something special? It was for Jamie Whincup and Daniel Ricciardo at Sandown this week when the Red Bull Racing Australia V8 star and the Red Bull Racing F1 ace let loose in the one-of-a-kind Triple Eight Sandman.

cool video but I lost all respect for Riccardo at the end when he lost traction, got a little sideways, and was clearly speeding in pit lane. Extremely unsafe, sets a terrible example also. If he was in a race, drive through right there.
I mean, you've got an entire race track right there, that's what's it's there for, but you've got to be a cooldude hero and do that in pit lane

I still don't get it... its a really cool video.. but the people who watches F1 or V8 Supercars and Motorsport in general, we would love to watch a full onboard like 10 minutes just for the fun of it.. I bet you guys have plenty of footage..

I'd love one to go with my HZ Sandman, Holden please make them!

Did anyone know the song?

Daniel ricciardo never seen a clutch before amazing

fan-fuckn-tastic!

01:30

DR: What's the third pedal on the left?
JW: Yea the third pedal is the clutch...
DR: Okay, never seen one of those, hehe

...

Oh yeh. That's the shit 👍🏼👍🏼😎

Great seeing Dan in The Project Sandman he hell enjoyed it

I was hoping this was going to be a Ricciardo vs Whincup shootout for the best lap time. Maybe next time? ;)

any more detail on this car? wondering if they cut loose on the engine without the restrictions of the rule book. It looked bloody fast. Much higher compression to suit the e85 maybe? Paddle shifters as well I notice so it's definitely not built to exactly v8 supercar spec

that is fast

So guessing the surfboards on the roof racks provide extra downforce? Maybe the F1 designers should take note.

This needs to be a much longer video! Still appreciate it anyway.

@1:25 haha.

So what was his lap time?

is waiting for the extended version with more skids

Cue the inevitable "that's not a Sandman" comments.
