And Dick Johnson’s rock is lying in wait …on the bank somewhere ….about to pounce ….took a few years to pick the perfect time

Willo's axe and Moffats dice with Harvey currently only exist on this highlights master which was either edited from either the race highlights replay (shown late the same evening of the race day broadcast) or from the (currently) missing master tape for that hour if it still existed back then

Thanks for the upload, I miss the Indycar's on the Goldcoast. Great coverage also, most of which are no longer with us which is sad

Have you got the full race of the 1992 James Hardie Bathurst 12 hour ?

These highlights are from a video "The Great Race" which covers the 78.79.80 and 81 races. Hosted by Mike Raymond it was available to buy on VHS and Beta through Rigby-CIC Video back in the day. It came in a cardboard box sleeve. I am lucking to have one of these tapes in my collection.

Any chance you will upload 1994 Gold Coast indy Sunday?

From memory The Gulf War had just started. So this broadcast either got interrupted or delayed I could be wrong.

Took at least 4 cars to come off but still didn’t realize there was OIL at the end of pit straight. And Johnson 😂😂😂😂 what a world class FLOG. All the money all the backing from shell and still blows up 2 shit heap sierras 😂😂😂😂😂. All the ford clowns that used to harp on with ooooh he had no money or hardly any backing. BULL SHIT. And it was no better at Bathurst for these overrated pommie 💩💩💩💩boxes they fell to pieces at Bathurst in 1990 and virtually ALL of them blew head gaskets while the mighty Holden 5 litre of Percy grice ran at 7.500 rpm all day to blow the media and the rest of pit lane a HUGE 🖕you

This looks like the UK ITV World Of Sport edit when they showed it after horse racing under the International Sports Special 2 title

I've always been a Holden man but the XB Fords look frigin awesome. The good old race on Sunday, in the showroom Mondays.

Definatly more enjoyable to watch and follow then the shit we have now

What an incredible battle between two top drivers that respected each other immensely. And at no stage did either driver look like taking the other off the track and there wasn’t a scratch on either car. I loved Allan Moffat as the ultimate professional and ‘bad guy’ in the Ford, those were the best days of Aussie car racing.

watched that live.... shocking to see... ! really thought he was a gone ! still the most scary race accident I have ever seen...

I feel so lucky to have lived in the period of this racing. Surely was the great race, great cars and great drivers. Too technical today, like formula one, with slot car bodies.

Watched super cars Bathurst this year … 2024… not one mechanical … no alternator, gearbox, engine, wishbone…

The infamous Mark Knopfler crash which broke his collarbone.

No pace cars turning an "endurance race" into a 2 lap sprint. Ah the good old days.

Love the XC Falcon, Dad owned one and he always says he wishes he'd kept hold of it.

Real mix of cars and manual handling for pit stops Real skills then... now mechanised speed drops

I was a Holden guy when I was a young fellow, I like em all now though. Those two door Falcons are damn tuff looking cars. Gotta love em. edit: Epic race this one.

Much more interesting to watch

Thanks Rob! Really enjoyed this!

so much better than the current racing

Pure gold, thanks mate

Love your videos there amazing keep posting them

Group C, 1973 to 1984. This era of Bathurst was indeed by far the best. 60+ cars, different classes and types of cars, and of course pure racing, with none of the bullshit of today's racing, which 90% of us can't stand. 100%, actually. 110% of us to be more precise. :)

This is really good, is this the first 50 minutes of this 1978 race. Robo's Super Channel do you have this whole 1978 race ?

If he ran out of fuel, why did the car start again?.

Magic. Bloody magic. So good

Brocky was definitely invincible in this car💯😎my dad would get so dirty🤭

Well done 😄

Brocky, Sir Jackie and Alan Jones. 3 of the very best.

Why was Dick Johnson not in this race?

Enjoy.... it doesn't happen often

❤🏁💯🇦🇺🏁🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💯👑🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎

I was there

Boss 302 Mustang, Falcon GTHO, Colongne Capri, Chevy Monza, Sebring BMW, Le Mans Porsche, Commodore, Mazda 12a and 13b, Allan Moffat could drive any car to a win. No, I didn't forget the 1.6 litre BDA Escort giving the 7 litre Camaro a driving lesson at Calder Park. I was there.

Fun Facts: * Peter Brock's 9th and last Sandown enduro win. * Holden would not win the Sandown 500 again until 1992. * Larry Perkins won this race, he also won in 1992 with Steve Harrington, co-driving here with Allan Grice. * Nissan would win 4 of the 8 Group A Sandown 500's. * Allan Grice set the Group C lap record here with a 1 min 48.3 second lap. John Bowe holds the Group A lap record in a Ford Sierra RS500 with a 1 min 47.65 lap in the 1988 Sandown 500.

40 years since this race. The new twisty track was never gonna last.

Love the Old Days.

The gthos were the best racing cars ever at Bathurst. They just kicked arse. Holden's were no match.

If I had a dollar for every time Mark Oastler said “Goodness Me” 😆

Ford could have made 400 cars with an after market 'factory' steel crank, 25 cars with the Boss 302 Trans Am roller rockers for homolgation, and used the Concorde/ Monza ( later Mad Max!) show cars 0.36 drag factor front end with fiberglass pieces replacing all body panels except for the roof, doors, and quarter panels. Thats right where the 1983 Falcon moved to, a car benching at 1285 kilos, with 4V heads and with a Moldex steel crank. Instead, Edsel Bryant Ford II got funding for a paint job and a few durability and tyre size mods. In an environment where the A9X had F5000 reciprocating durability parts, weight reduction body, Ford under did it for the next 26 years. Ford then knobbled the Holden winning streak with Project Blueprint. Holden lovers got all the ammunition in 78, and never looked back...

What bit is the "Missing Footage'"?

wow, the way Alan Moffat throws that boat around is impressive. those XA-XC bodies were big and heavy. Harvey has a great machine in that Torana. this was the real Bathurst/Mt Panorama days... back when productions cars ruled, as they still should, but somehow it all got glorified into a class that nobody drives in reality... production car racing still exists but tv and sponsors are focused on the glamour racing... it really fell apart after they banned turbos and turned it into Ford vs GMH/C.

At the end of 1977, Ford slashed their spending on motorsport, and Holden went "open cheque book"... the rest is history.

Ah the good old days of real production car racing rather than identical "cookie cutter" V8 supercars that are all the same and under the skin, just dressed up to look like different makes of production cars.

Getting to the same place in 2024, Yes nothing that twenty double b racing cars will not fix on the way to Bathurst

Raced Peter for many years great driver Garry Waldon.

can anyone upscale it? my machine can't handle it
