Australian Story - Craig Lowndes - A Red Hot Go 

This is absolutely fantastic. I love Craig as a driver and in person. Thanks for uploading this emotional documentary.

not many people can say they were mentored by Peter Brock. This is a great example of that typical Aussie spirit and Mateship

I've been following the car racing since the early 70s. I love it. I remember seeing Lowndes in 1994 and thought this guy is quick. I kept an eye on him and look what happened! Me and my son have met him a couple of times and I have a photo of Craig and my son together. He's an outstanding driver (his drive at Adelaide in 1999 from last to first is one of the best races I've ever seen), he's very competitive but a very fair racer. He's an outstanding guy, very good to his fans and a winning smile that's so contagious. Awesome individual.

My brother was in school with Craig and Jamie Whincup grew up in the same street as us. David Whincup played the role of Santa for the street Christmas party. My dad raced against P. B and i still remember hanging out at the Peter Brock speed shop in Greensborough. Ah! The good old days.

craig u are an inspiration and so miss seeing u on the track now in 2020 its just not the same but I know things must change ……….thanks so much for all the memories not one race I did not watch with u there and such a touching story of u and your best mate brocky he was a legend like u,his prodigy child on the track

one of the most touching stories ive watched craig u are one awsome person and driver ive ever seen in v8s and so miss u racing now and rip brocky your mentor and legend this sport just wont be the same

There are some things that you can picture so vividly in your mind when certain events happened and one of those events, for me, was when I heard Peter Brock had crashed (I can't remember whether if he was confirmed dead at that stage or not). I remember as if was yesterday. I could take you there right now, that spot.

In the spirit of motorsport passion, I have always barracked for Craig, even though I am a diehard Ford Girl. Craig's passion for his sport showed on and off the track. He always had a smile on his dial. His love for Peter Brock was evident when Bev and Ford sanctioned Craig to emotionally drive Brock's GTR XU1 on the lap of honour, saying goodbye in style to his best mate, before the big race. I am absolutely certain Brocky was in the car with Craig during that whole Bathurst Race.

this was the best documentary i have ever seen. i cried

a gentleman of the sport....we will miss you next year....all the best for lemans 24 hr

I remember this day on the radio I bursted into tears.

8:07 sends shivers down my spine. I wont forget watching that!

what is the music played from the start of the Bathurst 2007 after Brock died , love it but have never known the name of it , & due to the commentary Shazam can't find it , if anyone can tell me or find it , I'd be grateful , thanks

craig u are the only one that has kept me watching motor sport and the day u retire I think so am I ..........peter brock was such a blessing for your hard road In motor racing but u are one great well balanced man that we love to watch win or fail we all l,ove your great smile,keep racing hard mate

Thanks for this documentary.

I remember him and Wincup visiting the primary school I attended in 2009

very good story, hello from se queensland, RIP Brocky, Lowndesey....( both legends, lowndsey your such a genuine down to earth guy, good on ya, go FORD go HOLDEN, both great brands go AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks very much. Never seen this in NZ before.

Does anyone know what happened to Craig and Nat, they always seemed so good together?

Great story. I'm rather new to the V8's but have been a bit of a Lowndes fan ever since i started following the series last year. Now im even more of a fan.

Thank you very, very much.

Thanks Lukey, I wasn't born in the generation of Brocky, but I know he was a true champ, but Lowndesy and Skaife would have to be the best drivers of my generation...

an amazing person

Thank you, outstanding story. Very moving, great to watch, just wish it had the fairytale ending of CL winning the championship...

Loved that. True legends.

Thank you

LONG LIVE THE KING

What a great person...

Such a happy sad story, also sad that him and nat aren't together.

Very good story. THanks alot.

Holy shit I actually cried :/

thanks lukey

RIC KELLY WE WILL NEVER FORGET SUCH A DIRTY WIN!

just like brocky, a bloody champ

Legend.

what a top bloke!

You are the man.

a great story ,so sad that craig and nat are no more but a bit too much brock in this story after all brock was a little crazy

Absolute legend

a true legend

i wonder if he equals brocks bathurst wins will he retire

Some ignorant people judge Lowndes by the car he drives.....How stupid are they. Their REAL knowledge of motor racing skill could be written on a fucking pin head with space left on it !!!! He is in the Top 5 best drivers of any type of car this country has ever produced !!

I'm Ford man through and through, but will always cheer for Lowndes regardless of brand. He could be racing for Skoda and I'd be cheering him. He's freaking ATCC Royalty

You’re a champ Craig, go Freo

if my kids can grow up anything like lowndesy then ill be extremely happy

:( feel sorry for Craig.

his a top bloke and a aussie hero

the best australian champion.

13:22 dammit...

GM Holden has betrayed all of the workers in Adelaide. It's not an Aussie car any more.

Greg Murphy calls him the great man

Craig lowndes...Holden, Ford, then Holden

Craig has recently discovered he doesn't like catfish.

You user name says it all.

Are you for real? Thats sad alright

Like number 64 :P

Most emotional? Never seen any ww2 docs or something like that? I know Lowndes is a great racer, seems like a good guy and all of that but in the end, hes getting paid a shitload to race cars. Hes not storming the beaches of france watching his friends get slaughtered, ya know?

Your life must be pretty sad that you have to come on the internet and say stuff like that to get attention to fill your day.

Great story ... Lowndsey much more suited in a Ford and Rick Kelly cheated the championship and will never win another now that is karma for you !!!!!!!!!!!!

His wifes, um, alright, but I mean this is Craig Lowndes...

You really, really, really need to learn to have some respect.
