Races under weather often tends to be the most entertaining one's. When I watch this while eating, it feels like back then when I sat infront of the TV as a kid. Old racing is always better.
He was a Great Driver , and really good Bloke , real Class when he was leading Bathurst With 5 laps to go and droped A Valve , and had to pull of the track He handle himself so well , wish You well Glen
He was clearly the star of the day that day but a lot of people talked about Brock predictably sliding his Commodore around being the hero. To everyone at my workplace Setons drive was the topic of conversation.
Rain? At Bathurst?? Nooo.... it always rains at some point at Bathurst, and it used to be so much fun when I was a kid watching the carnage when it did, I was 9 for this race. Then Skaife and Richards got the good skylines... ahh those were the days. God I remember when Crompton was driving the B&H Bimmer with Tony Longhurst.
Damn shame Ford never sold the Turbo Sierra in Australia. And that's not a dig at them for winning so much back then. It really would have been cool to have them here.
@@Dakalberry You can correct me if I'm wrong, but they went to group A rules, which were international. I'm thinking maybe under those rules it didn't matter where they were sold? I do remember hearing people, usually Holden fans, complaining about them not being sold in Aus.
The Texaco Ford Sierra win was taken off them, illegal fuel illegal wheel arches Peter Brock was declared the winner!! My ex wife and went in 1999, AWESOME ABSOLUTELY AWESOME, Agree 110% it is Boring now NOTHING like Bathurst used to be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@DougAskin No, never heard that one before, although the Texaco Sierra,s broke many rules inc not regulation fuel for their engines to help keep them alive, they were running 'rocket fuel'!!
That's the end of Bathurst as we know it. The plastic fantastic turbo foreigners invaded the once great v8 race and ruined it for a decade or so until the non-distinguishable v8 supercars took over. The rest is history 😢
Never forget that the only reason Brock got this "Win" was because the Texaco Sierras were DQ'd well AFTER the race on "technicalities" whilst he ran 3rd and was never a threat during the actual race But after the DQ was handed to the Texaco Sierra's he was then awarded his 7th and final Bathurst Win (3 weeks later) Brock ran Sierras the following year......
what I love about watching racing from the pre 90s is that the interior of the cars are recognisable. Real cars not "supercars" that are so far from something mass produced it's not funny
when they would do what ever it took to keep the cars out on the track, even if it meant stripping parts off their own cars in the carpark when things (like diffs) failed. Now it's "oh dear, we scratched the paint, park it up boys, maybe we will have a better run next week" (remember that time all the torana diffs kept packin in and one team let brocky drive their car cause all team brocks cars were mechanical outs, and he bombed their diff too) ahh nostalgiaberries
Genauso wie die gute alte DTM Zeit mit Ludwig, Thimm, van Ommen und Co. Das waren alles noch Typen die nicht gleich geweint haben wenn sie mal einen Schlag abbekamen. Wie in England auch. Heute macht das alles keinen Spass mehr mit diesen weichgespülten Heulsusen.
I remember in the early 80's going to a mates house and we watched The Bathurst 1000 though what the .......... we were in north east UK , a car had a camera mounted in the headlight hole going around the mountain and a recovery truck on the track , thought this is mental LOL.
The blatant cheatie Sierras. Another one for Brock The Nissan Glen was driving was an evil POS. It twisted so bad in the dry it broke the windscreen. And they came second!!
Ok. Cheating on what way, running by the 'world touring car rules ' of the day in which they were asked to come and race to help make bathurst a bit more known around the world. ' Illegally' cheats was a light trim of the rear metal arches to allow the regulated tyres to fit. This did nothing to help speed or performance. As far as I care, the Sierra's won fair and square, it's only brocky likers that winge did you see the press meeting after the race, Steve Soper and Klaus Ludwig said they'll never come back due to bathurst not being an affiliate international ruled event... Yet Brocks car secretly ran a Ford 9in or Toploader box in some races in the day . Nissan might have been a POS but you may not know the vl commodore was the same car except the body shape . Still was better racing than today's trash
People ignore the 12” tyres that Brock ran in this race. All the commodores in the race EXCEPT 2 ran 11” tyres.that’s why the shell was sent to England , bought by win Percy. I spoke to Win about the cheating by Brocks cars and he confirmed it. Apparently Grice and Perkins were quietly dirty . Also Brock ran a Ford 9” differential.
