Bathurst 1984 Group C RX7's 

So much more interesting seeing a variety of different cars rather than two V8s from two different manufacturers which are virtually identical.

the mid-corner speed of those things looks unreal

Fantastic! My dad owns a RX-7 (a road car, of course) and he really loves it. I'm hoping I get one as my first car too. Go the rotary!

this is beautiful - no where on television can i watch any sort of racing this entertaining. a shame.

Great footage of the old RX7's....in full song they sound awesome

Looked like glorious times for the RX7's wish I was born 20 years earlier!

its a pity mazda didnt go all out with ported turbo FC's in group a could have dont as well as those sierras

most of the old sa22 rx7s were running n/a 180-220hp 12A's was a few 280 ish HP 12AT's very few had 13bs :)

Watching this video renews my interest in the FB every time I see it!! Love this video!

Just for the record, the rx7 in the sandtrap is actually being driven at that stage by brian nightingale. i know this because he is my dad and tony mulvihill is my god father :-D

This is great footage i would have never have seen . Thanks for sharing....

thanks iv never seen the mountain like this lol good to catch up and see how far we've come

I used to hate those little mazdas now i love them.Such a well balanced racecar,pity they couldnt have the 13b engine sooner.

AWESOME FOOTAGE!!! Thank you!

in 1984 most, if not all rx7s in group c were using 13bpp engines

Wounderful! Thanks for sharing. //Magnus

Omg at 2:24 ! SO DANGEROUS!

Good old time! Great!

Thank you, for the video!

Listen to Thirsty by The National while watching this video. It's awesome.

V8 & rotary engines ❤️

6:40 I know that exit drill all too well !

the whole group c category was replaced in 1985 by group a which the rx7 continued to race in but wasn't competitive

Footage is taken from race telecast :)

Was that a stock rx7 diff??? Wow

where did you get this footage , ive got the bathurst box set and its not on there .. thanks very cool

Who does the fibreglass for these now? I forget the companies' name, but they used to advertise in Street Machine and Street Heat all the time in the 90's listing most if not all the fibreglass spoilers, airdams and skirts for the group C era cars. Reason I asl is I have an RX7 I want to do up, but I want the spa-bath style rear spoiler, 'cassette deck' style front air dam and side skirts... Can anybody remember the company's name??

Time to be alive

Shit Moffat could drive!

im assuming 12a engines im no expert on Group c tcr

you have the whole races ? how do i get them :o)

why do they drive old camaros? there was a newer model from 1982

@S14VH45 - Weren't homologated, and you could never buy a Camaro new in Oz.

did these have a 13b in them? sorry for the noob question

backfire at 7:58

Don't get me wrong, I love the 80's and early 90's Bathurst races around Panorama with the RX-7's and R32's, but I still like V8 Supercars just fine as a driver's sport. To be frank, the R32's were too good. With V8 Supercars, like NASCAR on road courses, you get mostly the same cars against each other, and that means a much more exciting driver's sport (so long as you stay away from ovals). ;)

A V8 vs a rotary, but no we need "parity" zzzzzzzz
