Wynfield gave Gibson motorsport a huge amount of cash leading up to the ban on cigarette sponsorship. And that money was spent on highly modifying those GTR’s to a point that Nissan wouldn’t allow them to compete in Japan against the factory cars. No car could beat them even other GTR’s and it just about killed motor racing here in Australia. The Group A rules gave an unfair advantage to turbo cars which were predominantly sports cars against family saloons that were designed not in motorsport in mind. It wasn’t what you would call fair game.
@@tomnewham1269 The Sierra RS500s used in ATCC were in fact granted and built with Group A homologation rules in mind, so does with the Skylines (GT-R models). It is worth mentioning, the Sierras have won both 1988 DTM and 1990 BTCC series, respectively, once, while grabbed back to back championship win at 1988 and 1989 JTCC. And yes, it was fair game because they were hailing from the same regulation group, which was Group A, while raced in series that was using Group A formula.
ive always wondered given the emotion of the day, if richo should of gotten up there, he was very close to denny and would of been upset no matter what the reception, but come on the response he got was, well, to quote the crowd themselves, bullshit, richo was entirely justified what he said
Was there and what we were booing was that they'd been given the race even though theyd crashed out well before it was called due to weather, whilst others were still running None of us knew anything about the deaths at the time as it wasnt announced until days after the race, let alone their relationship to the departed
@@bmcshane80 no... deni hulme was pronounced dead at the bathurst hospital during the race...i think the crowd just had enough of the nissans in the end and when the nissan was given the win like that it reached boiling point
I have so little faith in that pack of assholes that they still would have abused Richards EVEN AFTER knowing that his friend Hulme had died. As 2021 has proven: don't underestimate the toxicity of tribalism.
When Ford Sierra cheated for years by having much more power than any other race cars, they had bunch of Sierra in the track and they won by laps, then they would say what the great powerful cars, what a great innovation technology and what the great drivers. When Nissan GTR had great cars, great innovation technology and great drivers, they called it cheating. Then they complained and forced GTR to carry heavy extra load in 1992 in the race and they still lost to the GTR and they banned GTR forever until their cars had same spec as GTR in 2015. Then they allowed GTR to race and they still lost. Why? I like to know why they discriminated Japanese car company and Japanese people so much even till these days. I also notice some other sport during this 90's era, American and mostly caucasian with white skin athletes always complaint at everything when they lost. Most of the time, they get lots of privileges and got what they wanted to change rules in favor toward them. If that happened in reverse, they would call Asian athletes and Asian technology and Asian athletes cheaters, why?
@@maxtran5345 oh please… This is such a 2022 comment.. No wonder the world is the way it is. Bring back the fierce passion of 1992.. The world was a far better place than this BS you’re claiming.
An example of bad Aussie sportsmanship, shame on the crowd. I'm a true-blue Aussie sports fan who was ashamed to be Australian that day, I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
@ilikebigskidsandicannotlie3449 holden,s had holden V8,s in them in 92, around 93 they used chevs except larry perkins who won Bathurst with a holden powered commy.
One of the great moments in Oz sport. Put em in their place. That angry mob would have done to reserve that sort of anger for socialist greenies who are the biggest bullshitters on the planet.

Mad respect to Jim for standing up to the crowd like that. He said what everyone else was thinking
Not sure yelling out "we want Dick" is the appropriate methodology. Hahahahaha. Well Ford fans, that's exactly what you ended up with on the day.
sick burn bro
They wanted a hard length...they got it.
1:34, that bird by Neil Crompton
4:45 Jim gives them all a serve.....
Nice one, Crompo.
Lmao I saw that that made me laugh😂
They were angry cause they won against their bogan-mobiles. Go Jimmy Richards.
Since when is a Ford Sierra a bogan mobile?

First time seeing this....they even booed at their own fellow Australian racing driver 😅
What a wild podium
The mob rules, it's total mob mentality in this country.
Nice gesture Crompo. 🤙

This was peak 'Inbred' era.
The Nissan was better, the Team was better, they won fair and square...go Jim!
Good one Jim
Nowadays we have PR machines. That crowd got what it deserved 👏.
The heyday of Australian motorsport and Australia in general. There’s no way the last two years of hell happens if it were 1992.
They Should’ve stop the cars first and wait for the rain to go.

What has this race got to do with the Greens?
Angry because they had the only AWD car in the race,no one could get close.what else do you expect.
If it's within the rules, then it qualifies. No one complained about the Sierras when they had TURBO's compared to V8's.
@@matonatomic Don’t worry the haters are just jealous just trolls.
it all started with that nissan bluebird shit...then just about every man and hes dog was running a turbo
