Moffat is an immortal of Aussie touring car racing. Not many people get to be legends in their own lifetimes but Moffat certainly is.
Seen Al in tears in other interviews when he recalls the 1-2 finish! He knows well what a sacrifice Bond made for him. Sad that he's stricken with dementia these days. A gentleman he is...
He was in great form in this! He was struggling at the time but he had his good days and I’m so glad this was a good day for him so he could share this with all of us
True legend this guy. And wonderful respect shown by Mark.
Im a Holden fan but I must say that guy is an absolute legend, how different things would be without Moffat in Australian racing.
I had the privilege of taking to Allen, while I was fitting a bullbar to a Ford Territory at FPV . Allen spent 10min asking questions and generally talking to me. He is a good man, I'll remember that forever. Oh and he flew the blue ovel . 👍
I am so glad I had the pleasure of watching Moffat from the start and his brilliant races against Brocky. I would also like to remind people, that Ford Racing did not put as much into Australian Racing as General Motors Holden did, and that was to their detriment.
Poor guy Is fighting diamentia so so sad hope the family is okay
Dementia
@@bremCZ thanks for the help much appreciated
I read that Larry Perkins and Fred Gibson are acting as advocates for Allan, helping him and taking him on outings to classic car race meets and workshops where they can. to which Al loves and responds well to.
@@HereIsMyOfferyeah I heard that too. Good to hear. He's a legend, and I love and respect him. It's a cruel disease and I wish him well.
He is an icon of motorsport in Australia and was a big part of the Holden vs Ford rivalry. Loved it when he teamed with Brock in the latter days. They were the true odd couple.
2021 and Moffat's dementia can be seen advancing. Sadly I witnessed the same scenario with my mother in 2010. Mark certainly showed due respect with this "interview".
I was privileged the watch the late 60s and 70s racing in the days of Moffat and Brock. Brock was my favorite driver overall and his races with Moffat were legendary. But the highly publicised 1977 "one two finish" was, for me, a low point in Moffat's career. In an interview with an aging Colin Bond, Bond states his biggest regret in his career was letting Moffat win that race. Brock would go on to take the unstoppable A9X to two glorious Bathurst wins changing the way manufacturers looked at the great race.
A true legend 👍💯
The Moff is the GOAT. An incredible driver.
Moffat is a true legend
2 years ago Alan could have a full interview and be fine 2 year later the legend is now struggling to speak this is bringing me to the point of tears
The RX-7 had 930 hp? I think he meant 930Kg lol
Think Al's Dementia was sadly starting to set in by this time.
Bloody Aussie Immortal Legend. I took a pic of Allan sitting on a Speedway bike at Ash's Speedway Museum at the 2017 Hardtop Anniversary at Bathurst. So sad to see him now. 😪😪😪
I think Phillip Island should be back on the chalender
Totally one the best race tracks needs a summer series date
And the Sandown 500
@@duncancameron5468 I’ve been to Phillip island and the Sandown 500 since 2013 and I would enjoy them to be back on the chalender
One of the great racing car drivers.
Like all who could ever forget going to a race meeting in the 70s and watching Moffat race the Boss 302 or the group C Falcons .
Great man.
He copped a lot of flack from the holden and ford supporter when he ran the little mazda but dam he was good just finished watching the 1983 ATCC on youtube
True Aussie Legend
I particularly loved Allan's Mustang era.
Credit where credit is due 👍👍
101 wins to 150 starts, surely that's the best in motorsports overall?
Always thought this guy was the best ambassador to motor sports. Always pleasant and positive. Remember a couple of years ago he started to mention how v8s seriously underestimated the speed of the European tour cars and they cut him off. Typical
would have won more if those dunces at ford had invested properly.
I hope that he is in good spirits.
Talking best Bathurst moments at Phillip Island.
He said the rx7 had 916 hp
Not the most naturally gifted driver, Moffat worked and worked and worked until he became
the best.
So sad he has dementia now
