1979 Australian Sports Sedan Championship, Oran Park

Some golden Sports Sedan action featuring some of the best cars the category ever did see - Allan Grice in the Corvair, Jim Richards in the hardtop Falcon, Allan Moffat in the Monza, Tony Edmondson's Alfetta and plenty more. Enjoy this look back at a great race, Round 2 of the 1979 ASCC at the now defunct Oran Park.

More vintage Australian Sports Sedan racing. Great stuff! I vaguely remember that Corsair racing from my childhood, so to see it now with Grice at the wheel is an absolute gift, thank you.

Great stuff! Now can you please upload those 1979 ATCC races you have hidden away...😊

[@dwaynea9458]

Awesome footage, i know that Alfa of Edmondson is currently being restored in nsw. I may even have the job of rewiring it when it's ready.

[@V8Sleuth]

That's cool!

What a great car. Tony had a terrible crash later that year at Surfers Paradise and the car was destroyed and he was badly injured. A new car was built and he went on to win the 1981 championship.

@@mikenowland2739 ... weren't the Don Elliot owned Alfa's built at K&A Engineering in Adelaide?? They also built (among others) the John Briggs Monza and of course their most famous creation, the Veskanda.

[@Holden308]

The Corvair may have looked like a Chevrolet Corvair, but underneath the body it was all race car. And in Gricey's hands it was a weapon.

Awesome Racing.

[@duncancameron5468]

Awesome stuff ! Any chance of some Group C touring stuff from the 70's ?

[@DrewKruck]

This is great . Why is Australian motor racing now so weak to look at ?

[@LurcherVonPapsmear]

Bloody hell - where'd you guys find this footage?!

[@livinlifetothefullest2750]
