I hear it’s pretty good 🤔
I can’t wait!
Gotta love Bathurst day with dad. Great race great track in person and on tv.
Hahaha love this!
Supercars
Probably one of the best races ever. The best race on the calendar.
I literally just finished watching the 2006 Bathurst 1000 race, just an awesome race every year at Bathurst
Bathurst 1000: Nascar levels of crashing and fistfights, F1 top speeds (almost), Rally-like hills and bends, WTCC style wheel to wheel racing, NZ like views, Australian wildlife invading the track and Oktoberfest levels of drinking...this event certainly has it all
Macau levels of WALL
What are "NZ like views"?
@@mikespearwood3914 since the Lord of the Rings movies were filmed in New Zeland it has become a tourist hotspot for "magnificent views". Mount Panorama has some cool views from the top
The elevation change is so great that when you’re at the top, you need to look down to see the stunt plane.
@@mafiousbj Oh i thought you meant like TV views, which would be F all.
Josh: "NSW is the worst state in Australia"
Me, from Sydney: [angry reacts]
Josh: "Because you have this, this and this."
Me: "Nah, that's fair enough."
At least it wasn't Tasmania beijg called the worst state in Australia. We cop it enough down here.
i lost it when he showed Israel Folau lol
I mean vic is probably the worst right now
I mean without the footy we are basically nothing + we have the lockdown
Me: "Nah fuck that, that, oh Israel Folau, nah that's fair"
planes 4 me not only that but they call a parmi a parma. weird cunts
"once a year, Australians get together to have a *massive* fistfight. Then, in the intermission when the chaos lets up and the ambulance clears the track, a motor race breaks out"

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.
That's one hell of an experience mate
@Luca Goodoer Obviously.
@@Naman.Khivsara It was a blast, and the hospitality and welcoming atmosphere from everyone, not just my hosts, was astounding.
I hope that I can go there one day... And to the US too and watch races at indy or Daytona... Being stuck in a small town in Germany far away from any race track and without any fuckin money sucks if you love motorsports...
And i remember meeting you as well that year!
"Bathurst isn't a race,it;s a riot that some cars occassionally drive by." -- Jeremy Clarkson
Didn't Clarkson also say "It's not a race, it's a fight, between Ford supporters and GM supporters."
Mork Meatshield Hammond said it was a fight between ford and Holden fans with a race in the break period
Hey, riots can be fun
@@ghazghkullthraka9714 tell that to kyle rittenhouse
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.
Was a bit more than a tag, but yeah, it was great to see. The irony is Luffy co-drove for Lowndes 12 months earlier.
Probably the most iconic crash happened in 1983 when Dick hit the tree.
@@andrewrollason4963 What about DJ and 'the rock'..?
@@seanellery3374 The Rock was important but The Tree is the iconic car.
@@andrewrollason4963 Fabian Coulthard and his poor Bundaberg Commodore deserves a mention when discussing iconic accidents. Incredible thats even a thing
My mum also has one of the headlights off the DJR Falcon of Johnson and Besnard 2011 when the brakes failed after a stop and it slammed into the wall at the cutting and there was a massive fire across the whole track
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. And honestly, the 2014 1000 is a contender for me as the greatest motor race of all time. 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.
Wasn't that the one where the two former teammates crashed at the the top of mountain straight?
@@thevoid7635 good question - Im struggling to remember who was involved, which crash are you talking about?
@@AJOmega2 The one with the redbull car with the livery made for cancer I think, and the team that mark skaife drove for
@@AJOmega2 it was Warren luff in Garth Tanders car
@@AJOmega2 and Craig Lowndes
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.
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.
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
McPlayer8t What? Mastert started at the back with Whincup, was crashed out then went from the back to the front again and to win on the last lap. Mastert drove the better race and won 🤷🏻♂️
@@ash6248 Nah, only crashed once
I still don't know how he won started last stuck in the tyres at turn 2 while the hole field passed him still scratching my head Happy for the dude thow Paul Morris co driver think he's won just about everything at Bathurst.
Bro this turned out sick!! “Antonio Giovinazzi clone” love it 😂😂
Thanks for having me on 😁
please make a vid on it as well so your fan base can get around as well
@@RaceFocus He did that
@@projectjt3149 yea not 1 year ago
Simple answer, kangaroos invade the track. Most Aussie thing ever😂😂😂
Oh the Roo's, Yes!
Didn’t the roo pick up a penalty?
Yep, especially when they hit 1
Skippy just likes to watch the supercars up close 😉
Beavers Invading The Montreal Circuit During The Canadian Grand Prix
My extended family usually have a bigger celebration watching the coverage of Bathurst than we do for Christmas. Always my favourite time of the year
(From Ireland) My older brother and I have been dreaming of visiting this track since we were doing Split screen on Toca Race Driver (V8 supercars racing I think) in PS1. Unfortunately he never got the the chance to visit it but I hope to see the Bathurst 1000, for him and for me one day. Thanks for the video Josh, bringing up those feels.♥️
Its one of the few tracks that television actually makes you appreciate how difficult and spectacular it is. I can only imagine what it's like to watch it at the track
It’s hard to watch it in the US. But listening to Darrel Waltrip explain in shear terror while being a passenger was fantastic. Also that record McLaughlin lap a few years ago.
I started watching v8 supercars this year, as I live on the east coast of the U.S. most of the races start at 1:00 am so if im up that late, you'll know what im probably doing, and looking forward to with the Bathurst 1000, thank god motortrend has live broadcasts of the races which is how im able to watch.
the race lasts 6-7 hours so I'm sure you'll be able to watch some of it
Recommend watching Jenson Button doing this track in a F1 car... fastest ever lap on Bathurst.
And he wasn't really feeding it, either. Could do it a solid 10 seconds faster if he was allowed to.
Couldn't imagine any track less suited to an F1 car than Bathurst.
@@PaddyMcMe Monaco
@@RodrigoroRexI still think Bathurst. I've driven both in a car and I'd rather Monaco.
@@PaddyMcMe nordschleife
... nah bathurst takes this one
Remember playing this circuit in gt for hours
Me in Forza 6, i absolutely hated it, the track
@@mslo7312 same,those driveatars are too agressive on this track
Forza AI is a lot of things, but aggressive they are not. In my experience anyway.
I raced at Bathurst on GT6 with a bunch of mates all the time, I had a little Isuzu that was mega fast around here. That or an R33 if we wanted some faster racing.
didn’t even realize this was a new episode, all your content is hyper quality
The last lap in 2019 was one of the most intense things I have ever watched. Scott Mclaughlin vs Shane van Gisbergen in a one lap shootout to win the most important race of their lives. Some of the most skillful driving I've ever seen, going as fast as you can on a track like Mt Panorama with little to no tire temperature, truly amazing. Supercars at their finest!
Ah yes endurance racing my favourite motorsport.
Next to the isle of man tt
the Isle of Man TT is the race that takes the biggest balls in all of motorsport imo
Because its a road race thats 6 laps around isle of man
@@sonicrose8430 no doubt
I'd say the TT is more of a bloodsport than a motorsport.
It’s not driven like an endurance race though, not by Jamie Whincup at least. They all say it’s a 1000km sprint race.
Bathurst is the race that, love or hate Motorsport, every Aussie watches. Reckon the best way to send off the Holden’s is a win at Bathurst, hope we can bring it home one last time 🤙🏼!
Most exciting day every single year. 2014 where Shane stalled in the pits and Jamie ran out fuel on lap 161 has to be the pick of the bunch. Gives me chills knowing we will bear witness to another classic next week. :) Cheers for the vid!
Even more so when you realise this is the first Bathurst since the 90's that's been run outside of the main season and as the final race of the year.
I am a mechanic for John Bowe, we are heartbroken we aren’t at the mountain this year.. but that place is electric! It will change your @joshrevell accept this as an invitation to join us next year if you like
I've met him a few times when I was a kid at the track. Good bloke, glad he is still racing! Trans am cars right?
Very jealous way up here in Canada. Would love to see a Toronto Mosport Montreal triple header !! Plus the tracks 40 km 125km and 700km away from home! Must be awesome to be part of it! Just a minnow in the racing ocean and the 15 years of Karting I did was the best part of my 51 years!!
@@goodshipkaraboudjan Nah, TCM.
Most memorable was when Larry Perkins had to pit on the first lap with dramas. In the process going a lap down. he and his partner then proceeded to not only un-lap themselves but won the whole dang thing. Plus it was also when there used to be nearly 40 cars on the track.
One of the best races on the planet, along with the Bathurst 12hr
Travelled down for the 12 hour this year (2020). I reckon Dean Canto parking the Lamborghini Huracan GT3 (look for it on TH-cam) was one of the great mountain incidents. Booked for 2021 so really hope borders open up by then.
The 24 hour was great if you don't count those bloody Monaros... Shame Ross Palmer went broke.
@@geoffmesser5091 I watch every FP, Quali and Race, I remember seeing this happen. That was a wild and scary ride. Same with the Aston impact, but that's a common place for a major incident. I really hope I can make it to an event one day, have fun!
@@geoffmesser5091 Have they carried your booking over now the race is cancelled in '21?
@@OsellaSquadraCorse still sorting that out. We are thinking of keeping the accomodation bookings and doing a boys’ drive down anyway.
For me, it was watching Peter Brock come out first on slicks after the rain had stopped, but the track was still very wet, and proceeded to drift and slide his way around the track. It was a masterclass in real driving genius.
My earliest memory of this race is I got up nice and early for the 2010 race, and the image of Fabian Coulthard rolling his Bundeberg Commodore through the chase is something that will stay with me forever. As a 7 year old who had never seen an accident like that before, it was something that didn't blow my mind but made me in love with Aussie V8s for the rest of my life. My dad has watched every Bathurst from 1997 onwards, I have a poster in my bedroom with all the winners of this race on it. And as I type this on my desk I have a Bathurst highlights DVD boxset right next to me. So to say I'm a mega fan would be an understatement.
Daryl Waltrip does a few laps with Jason Bright. It is the funniest clip from Bathurst ever.
i really like this track in Real Racing 3. it's just really fun driving here.
Eyy RR3, I was waiting for a comment like this!
Drive this thing in the McLaren MP4X if you can. It’s insane
I still get goosebumps watching the 2.03 from McLaughlin from the shootout
Frosty going straight through the chase in that amazing finish and of course the most terrifying accident I've seen on tv. Thank god chaz is okay
WRC and F1 fan, first time hearing about this. If I can find a stream online next weekend, I'll definitely check it out, thanks for the heads up!!!
Definitely do it! The V8 supercars are absolute beasts, and watching them flying over the mountain is one of my favourite sights in motorsport.
Imagine Nascar combined with Rally Spain. That's Bathurst.
All sessions are streamed live internationally on SuperView, with all previous sessions of the year also being available to watch on there too. Of which there have been 30 races, each with they’re own practice sessions and qualifying sessions. So a lot of racing available, to allow everyone to get up to speed with the sport before the great race.
www.supercars.com/superview/
Also along with the info already commented I highly stress that you look up the ‘lap of the gods’ here on TH-cam
@@blueshift7320 Nice glad to hear it! My favorite sights in motorsport each year is the 24hour Nurburgring which just took place the other weekend :)
I was meant to go this year, but I’m stuck in Melbourne
I’ve watched it the last two years, hands down the most fun I’ve had watching a race in a LONG time. It gives me vibes of NASCAR when it actually entertaining, only turned up by five. Would love to go see this race in person, the thought of sitting at the top of the mountain for 6+ hours watching these guys blast through time and time again, would totally be worth flying halfway around the world for.
"Australian motorsport in its prime" :( certainly doesn't have the same appeal as it once did
If they didn't close the shop and let Super 2 and Super 3 play as well, it would be better.
Still one of Australia’s premier sporting Events.
Bathurst 1000
The King of the Mountain!!!
"THESE TWO DO NOT LIKE EACH OTHER!"
"FIIIIIIIVE MINUTES"
@@alexthurner43 That was a different year, but your point still stands
"AND THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME SERIOUS WORDS"
@@sgtepicspeed3033 Ambrose wussed out . bit of biff would have been good for the sport
I smell a series of: "why you should watch [top event of certain series]"
Should have enough to beef it out... F1@monaco, indy500, motoGP@assen, isle of man tt...
Its more of a why shouldn’t watch for the Monaco GP maybe the GP at Monza, Spa, Silverstone would be a better one
Personal favourite moment would be chaz mostert going from last place to first. The last lap was absolutely brilliant. I can remember sitting on the edge my seat the whole time hoping he would get passed.
Every track racing game should include Mount Panorama. Whenever there's this track in any game, it's always my favourite track.
"Aussie Time" ah yes an easily understood concept regarding the country that just went from 3 time zones to 5 on the 1st of October
Edit: it was the 4th of October.
We did?
@@neonicplays Only the southern half of Australia does DST.
Standard time in Western is UTC+8, Central zone (Northern Territory and South Aus) is at +9.5 and Eastern zone (Queensland and the 4 southeastern states: Vic, NSW, ACT(Canberra) and Tasmania) is at +10.
Under DST, SA is +10.5 and the southeastern 4 are +11, which don't coincide with any non-DST zones in Australia.
Even so, the maximum number of New Years you can celebrate in one night is 3, since you can't get from Cameron Corner to anywhere in NT fast enough to catch the 4th, there's a big nature reserve in the way.
SYDNEY TIME = gmt+11

Then there's Bathurst 12 hours. Begins in the dark and is very roughly twice as long as the 1000.
From someone that's been there twice in the last 2 years, This is one hell of a race and a bloody ripper weekend. I encourage anyone who enjoys racing to watch this next weekend. It truly is the greatest race.
I went from England to Bathurst 2002... Awesome. Nothing else to say. Best motor race I have ever seen. Best entertainment, best fans, best fun.
Watch v8 supercars in general it’s brilliant
Arjan Baht. It's crap.
@@officialWWM how is it crap?
John Jack Taylor it's bloody boring! It's never been any good. The cars are exactly the same under their fake bodies and Ford vrs Holden thing is a joke. It hasn't been any good since the dropped all the production cars.
@@officialWWM I'd agree with most of that but it was still pretty good the first few years of V8 Supercars, even with the cosmetic space frames they still had entertaining drivers. V8 Superstars was the final nail though, calling drivers in to discuss last week's blow ups in hopes of getting some outbursts was a failure - they'd already had five days to cool off and get grilled by the team owners about good behaviour on the show.
Odee Gilbert lol, yes, that was a massive fail.
As a Kiwi this is what I remember Denny Hulme , peter brock , Greg's 03 lap of the god's , Scottie's 2017 lap of 2:03 , the skyline day's and the list goes on.
Agreed, such a sad sight though, rewatching Denny Hulme pulling his car over, now knowing what we know. It sounds like his last moments was making sure there wasn't going to be a big accident...
@@matthewharding4462 Can't think of a better way to go doing what you love.
I moved to Aus from the UK 10 yrs ago and have attended 7 races , its a quality weekend out ! and the 12 hour is a solid event too !
I thought I'd never seen this track before, then when Josh started explaining the turns I remember it being my favorite in Real racing 3
I prefer the Bathurst 12 hours but still this track is easily one of my favourites after the Nordschliefe. Seeing GT3 cars blasting around the hills is absolutely mesmerising
Never forget the time whincup bottled it
No wait that's every year
As an American, I clearly remember staying up through the night to watch Bathurst nearly a decade ago when Speed TV stateside sent a crew down to cover it. It certainly made me a fan of the V8's, to which I remain today, though watching it in the USA has become tricky. One shining moment that stands out in my memory was former NASCAR Champion and Pixar Voice Actor Darrell Waltrip riding a hot lap and pretty much crying.
i’ve been to the great race twice and was meant to go this year, capturing amazing crashes like the tickford crash last year at the chase, i love it
There is history and legend at literally EVERY SINGLE CORNER
"You need to witness these cars try and put 600 Horsepower down, on a track barely wide enough for Louge racing" As someone who's been watching this race since I finally was able to watch it here in the states courtesy of Speed Channel (About 2012-ish I think?), I can attest to the spectacle. 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.
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.
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
It has all the ingredients of a good track; technical bits, long straights, overtaking opportunities, elevation changes. I love it.
The wOrSt state in Australia. I felt this too hard...
... even if I live in Bathurst lol
I felt it too bro, as I fellow Bathurst resident I’m really heartbroken by this comment, Folau is Queenslander though so I dunno where he pulled that attempt at comedy.
My favourite moment was S.V.G. VS Scotty on the last lap after a safety car
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.
Remember watching with my dad in the early 70s when that dude rolled his car allong the fence and it car the car basically in half. Black an white in those days. Been watching every since. Now live in NZ but still Bathurst is part of my life.
my best memories of the great race would be when Jim Richards hit a skippy on the track and when mostert snatched the win on teh last lap because of Whincup run outa fuel
Folau bashing always welcome never expected it here tho lol
Leftard.
@@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
It may be my Bathurst excitement Josh, but this is 100% one of your best videos. (definitely not biased)
THE GIZ HAS DONE IT BOIS

remember racing on bathrust on some of the older racing games, the reputation still holds up
0:12 old south Wales oi you stole me name
Also old York would like a word with the Americans.
And so does jersey
And Orleans
You I should do what happened to Santino Ferucci or however you spell it
@Luca Goodoer You're probably thinking of JWF1.
Its such an awesome track...and your explanation definitely doesnt do it justice in ANY way. The elevation is insane, off-camber corners, downhill-braking, no runoff areas... This track is about balls, commitment and pure skill. There are so many clips about insanely awesome moves, crashes and races on youtube.
I actually enjoy watching the Bathurst 12h held with GT3 cars very much as well. Its one of my favorite events of the year and I always look forward to it. Its livestreamed every year on the GT-World youtube channel and you can watch it back on youtube anytime you want to.
Watching Jim Richards call the crowd a pack of assholes live on TV is still one of the best memories for me...
when GRM pulled a brake set out of an electric frypan
This Bathurst 1000 will be the final ever race for a factory Holden team 😢
Always remember Clarkson describing Bathurst as "palace where Ford and Holden fans go to have a fight, and there also happens to be a race going on as well" Sadly no more after this year.
Apparently next year it'll be Mustangs vs. Camaros, which isn't quite as Australian... Still, was good to see van Gisbergen win it for Holden on their last time.
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%
This is such a awesome video Josh. Keep them coming. Love your work and looking forward to the race this year
The land down under's greatest
It’s just a weekend of fist fights with a race in the middle
sounds like a good time.
This is actually the greatest Bathurst explanation i've ever seen, was there in 05 & 06. Still some of my greatest memories
My favourite Bathurst moments are probably when Craig Lowndes won in either 2006 just after his mentors and Supercars champion, Peter Brock passing away or 2018 Bathurst when he got his last Bathurst win as a full time driver
V8 Supercars is a legit more intresting series , perhaps more intresting than f1 if we look at what's been going on for the past 6 years..😂
My memory of the race. A Kangaroo getting airborne lol
Congratulations on the 100k subs man!
Most enjoyable description of Bathurst 1000 I've heard for a while, well done mate!
Can you talk about the difference between f2 and super formula?
Hopefully Shane Van Gisbergen can take the title from Scott McLaughlin!
If your not sure about bathurst as a motorsport fan watch 2014 bathurst. It pretty much completely covers everything that makes this race so special. Some of my earliest memories as a kid is sitting on the mount.
this'll be the first time in about 4 years i'll be able to watch the great race with my dad because he goes up to bathurst for the toyota 86 series (because he is the Race Director), so i am hella excited
Imagine calling NSW the worst state when Tasmania exists
My best memory is watching Greg Murphy absolutely destroy the lap record during his shootout lap. What a legend!
Thank you heaps Josh! Always good to see Supercars get some love
Darrell Waltrip taking that ride-along lap with Jason Bright in 2011 is one of the most entertaining bits of motorsport footage you will ever see.
Top notch Josh!!
As a racing fan from the states,, Bathurst is EASILY the best racing of the season. I watch and love F1, Indy, Daytona, etc. None of um hold a candle to "The GREAT RACE". 👍👍
Love watching Bathurst. Another great vid Josh, keep 'em coming
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.
Living in Scotland getting to the great race was an ambition of mine for many years 2018 made it. The race lived up to my expectations and the craic in the camp site was brilliant no matter what you are Told they are great folk.
The best race on earth!!! Cheers man can’t wait for the 2020 edition 😍😍
I love Bathurst 1000 so much...I watch it all The time keep it up mate 👍😎
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...
It was the last lap when Chaz passed Whincup at Forrest's Elbow...so essentially lead the race for a bit over a mile!
Stoked you used the skaters going down Conrod straight for that still. You're an absolute legend! We race there every year too
