Did you know or even acknowledge that ian moffet and Graham moss beat the shit out of most times brock was ordinarily hence killing himselfon an ordinary rally track . Great driver . Not the best plenty others besides him
Farm man , that's harsh. Regardless of your personal preferences, few can deny Brocks position at the very zenith of V8 motor car racing and especially at the mountain. From 1969 - 2004 . Nearly 35 years racing.most poles. Most wins. C'mon mate. He's a legend. Moffat would be the first to say that
I love how skaifey at the time owned hrt out of respect wanted him in a good car and to send him off at Bathurst respectfully. Tip of the hat to you skaifey
This when they raced car not this v8 super toy crap. 79 Brock won by 36 ks over second place. Led from start to finish something thatcwill never ever happen again.
Did you know that this car won Bathurst twice? This number 25 1983 Bathurst winning car is actually the 05 1982 Bathurst winning car, fitted with the 1983 front and real spoilers, and repainted as 25 for John Harvey to run in the 1983 Touring Car championship. What a car!
I want that car. Absolutely beautiful. Australian Australian touring cars from the 70s and 80s were easily the best. The XC falcon two door was magnificent. The A9X Torana. wow.
I sat in that car some years ago at a car show in Brissy. It was a VERY spiritual moment. I miss Brocky....😥 Anyhoo, shit ball sports are over. ROLL ON THIS WEEKEND!!!!!
Peter Brock's ex-wife Michelle Downes says the motor racing star repeatedly beat her and encouraged her to have an abortion during their ill-fated marriage. The former Miss Australia was briefly married to Brock in 1974 when she was a 21-year-old Seven Network weather girl. In an interview with New Idea magazine, published today, Downes said the 12-month marriage was marred by frequent beatings that began on their honeymoon. "I don't even remember what set him off that night," Downes told the magazine. "He pushed me around and threw me up against a wall. I remember sitting on the sand at 2am staring out at the ocean and crying my eyes out."
I forget which year it was. Peter Jantzen followed Brock on the last lap, trying to get his bit of glory & spun it . He was a real showman , I remember having a chuckle. I was actually disappointed in Frank Gardner after the race.
As a young Ford/Moffat fan during this time, I was devastated. Thank god for the privateer Dick Johnston to come up through the ranks and take on the full force of the Holden Factory team. They were great years, and that dice between Brock, Bartlett and Johnston, with Morris tailing em' in the 1981 event was very memorable. There was a danger that Touring Car Racing could get very boring as the HDT was so professional and so successful, many fans could have been turned away. It was such a shame that Ford Australia just dropped the ball on motor racing in the 1980's. I really do feel for drivers such as Moffat and especially Bond who were so let down by this stupid decision. Looking back now at these old days and comparing motor racing now, we are so lucky to have lived through this time. As unfortunately, motor racing these days is so boring. We are so lucky to have such great memories of these old days...so lucky. RIP Peter Brock and John Harvey, thanks for the memories.
