I live in the US and went by myself in 2017 when Scottie set the lap record. I started my trip in Sydney with a ticket for the grandstands at Murrays in anticipation of the finish. I met some Kiwis at a pub Wednesday evening, exchanged pleasantries yada yada'd to: what are you doing in Australia? "I'm here for the 1000." "No shit so are we! How are you getting there?" "I was going to take the train in the morning." "No you're not mate, you're hopping in the camper van with us." I stayed up until like 3am with them at the casino, met back up at their hotel at 7am sleep deprived and hungover, and the rest is history. I didn't spend a minute of the weekend in my ticketed seat, and instead stayed on top of the mountain with four complete strangers all weekend yards away from the track at McPhillamy/Brock's Skyline totally absorbed in the 1000 culture - even walked the entire circuit and signed Brock's wall. I made some lifelong friends and I cannot WAIT to return. Americans you HAVE to make the pilgrimage to this one. It's the best race weekend I've ever had, and the party on top of the mountain is legendary.

One of the most memorable moments for me was the crash in practice in 2014 where Luffy's brakes failed and he tagged Lowndes before hitting the fence and rolling. Then Lowndes frantically gets out of his car sprints to Luff's car and helps the marshal get the door open. Then when he sees Luff is alright they just hug it out.

As a British guy, I'll never forget turning on Motors TV in 2003 and seeing the 1000 for the first time. I was hooked.

Eight hours of drama, storylines, epic rises and falls, great racing, and the final ten laps had so many gut-wrenching twists that every line of commentary and every single moment is burned into my mind forever.

2014- chaz mostert going from last to winning the race and crashing twice all in one race. He passed Jamie Whincup at Forrests elbow on the last lap.

@McPlayer8t 3 года назад

I think Whincup’s drive was even better that day, he got to the lead after starting 3rd last, went almost two laps down at one point then just drove the wheels iff to get back to the lead. He is the only driver I’ve ever seen that can dig himself out of that situation. Also, Mostert only crashed once, and it was Morris at the wheel, likely due to a brake change or the deteriorating track. It was Moffat/Douglas who crashed twice to finish second. Please tell me if any of that was wrong, I may be getting years mixed up.

@ash6248 3 года назад

Nah mostert did crash it twice in the day and was last i believe on the grid. Mosterts strategy initially was just to get to the end but with i think 4 to go he was back on the lead lap and was in the best fuel position of everyone at rhe front. It was a bit of luck but he drove the damn wheels off that car all day

And if that isn't crazy enough, there's a 12 hour race where you have GT3 cars with around the same amount of horsepower and despite having the benefit of more downforce and abit more tires, they can be even wider (have you seen the spaceship that is that Mclaren 720S?) and they have to do this while navigating around far slower cars. Basically, racing about bathurst in general is batshit..and I kinda don't want it any other way honestly.

@@slayerdeth0705 he signed the contract. Tell you what, I can’t say the sort of stuff he said and expect to keep my job. Free speech doesn’t mean no consequences. It was part of his job to be in the public eye, that’s how he could earn money through sponsorships and advertisements, that’s how Rugby as a sport grows its profile etc. A high profile comes with some advantages like that. It also comes with expectations, sponsors pay you to improve their brand image. You need to no.1 be visible and no.2 not do damage to the brand. That is precisely why Rigby Australia put directly into his contract that he must shut up about gay people on social media. Has nothing to do with Rugby Australia or any of their sponsors virtue signalling, it’s because of market forces. So if Folau want to make money playing Rugby, where all the money comes from advertisers and sponsorships, if he want to make money himself by being personally sponsored, that means he needs to be less offensive. That isn’t political correctness gone too far it’s how advertising works. Either shut up about bloody homosexuals having demons and burning in hell, or at the very least, hire a better lawyer who can negotiate a more lenient contract for you. He is still allowed to say what he wants, he can still practice his religion. But don’t expect other people to pay for him to say that stuff. Especially when he signed a contract saying he wouldn’t.

Me and most of the guys in my extended family go up to Bathurst from Melbourne each year for the great race. camp at the top of the mountain with all the other "revelers" and spend the weekend drinking sleeping and watching cars as much as we want. Honestly the best 5 days of the year for me. The race itself is amazing as is the whole weekend around it, i would implore anyone who hasn't watched it to give it a go. For anyone who wants to go but hasn't, please do. You won't regret it

@JakePetrolhead 3 года назад

It's difficult to watch due to time zones in the UK - but damn if it isn't an absolutely incredible spectacle. I first tuned in in 2014, and was treated to Chaz Mostert taking the lead on the final lap - with the crowd going absolutely crazy, drowning out the commentators! It's always fabulous to watch - even if I have to miss a couple, it's still one of the greatest events on the Motorsport calendar.

I love that Josh mentioned that the track is barely wide enough to race luge. We actually race downhill skate and street luge down Mt Panorama. Starting at Castrol tower and finishing midway down Conrod straight easily getting over 100kph using nothing but gravity.

@Cookie-ei6jf 3 года назад

I've never watch any race here, but I remember the first time I drove it in project cars, and it was terrifying, but after a few laps I hooked it up and it was, and still, one of my favourite tracks to hotlap, and race

I mean, it goes without saying, Lap of the Gods is ICONIC. It's utter carnage every year, and even last years race, Scottie gambling on his fuel and not pitting, while SVG pit, and just the anticipation of Scottie potentially running out made it an utterly mad finish. Must watch 100%

@LoneWolf-mf7on 3 года назад

Let’s not forget that the Bathurst 1000 was the race that made Peter Brock the legend that he is in Australian motorsports. Dubbed ‘The King of the Mountain’, Brock won the race a record 9 times, including the 1979 race, where he won by an astonishing 6 laps ahead of second place. Because of his sheer talent and success at Bathurst, Brock is arguably one of the best racing drivers in the history of motorsports to have never raced in Formula 1.

@NINj49989 3 года назад

Biggest memory of this race was the 2014 running. The last 5 laps and even before that were intense. Whincup nearly out of fuel, Mostert chasing him down and eventually getting past him on the last (or 2nd last) lap. Also I think it was the race where a red flag was waved because the track surface of turn 2 turned into black cheese and had to be repaired. That race had everything. Edit: watched the highlights again. Shane Van Gisbergen stalling his car while in the lead 140-145 laps in kills me every time...

@mikespearwood3914 Год назад

It was the last lap when Chaz passed Whincup at Forrest's Elbow...so essentially lead the race for a bit over a mile!

Then in the winners presentation he called the crowd "a pack of arseholes!"Love this race!!!

I’m 30 in 3 weeks and this will be my 20th Bathurst 1000 on the couch. Ford fan through and through. Still remember Ambrose and Murphy moments from tearing each other’s head off. Remember Lowndes coping a wheel the the windscreen. Remember Ambrose having to pit for his balaclava. Remember Mostert winning after starting the race literally last on the grid. Remember Murphy’s “Lap of the gods” Remember that being beaten by McLaughlin in 2017 in his Falcon. Remember Mostert breaking his leg throwing his Falcon towards Forrests elbow like he was playing pinball. Remember the race being suspended for over an hour due to Griffin’s Bend’s tarmac breaking up. Remember Coulthard rolling through the Chase. Remember Radasich pile-driving the old tyre wall at the exit of the chase. And plenty more. Such a great race. A true tradition every October.
