Quick stats on this race. -Only 22 cars finished the race -33 didn't finish -The race winner started 12th on the grid -David Parsons in the Gibson Motor Sport commodore started last on the grid and finished 11th
I have the 2000 version of this Ford Falcon in Grand Turismo 6. I love to drive it at Mt. Panorama. They just didn't get the engine sound right which is unfortunate. Anyway great car and fantastic track. Hope to drive it someday.
I agree with a lot of the comments here - look at that 55 car field !! We understand Bathurst is part of a championship series but I actually think that letting the Dunlop cars in has some merit. It's not like Dick, Brocky and Richards did flyby around the outside little Corollas back in the glory days !!!
Dick Johnson retired from full-time racing competition in 1999 and only made one return to V8 Supercars, replacing endurance driver Jason Bright who was unavailable for the Queensland 500 in 2000.
Channel 10 help make v8 supercars what they are today . I can't believe 7's got again after nearly killing it ! Go the number 17 ! And what a champion for Motorsport on 2 or 4 wheels ....... Mr Barry Sheen !
Bathurst 1999, i was there, it was AWESOME a MUST DO for any petrol head! On the day you could hear which car was quickest car 18 DJR was really honking!! Damn shame it blew a tire near the end in the lead, man i was GUTTED!!!! Dick Johnson is a TRUE legend of the sport! Good to see DJR/Penneske getting good results again! Instead of POXY RED BULL FUCK THEM!!!!
You have to remember that back then, more than half of that field was underfunded and inferior cars to "the main game". It would just be like the old privateer days really, which is how the Konica/Fujitsu/Dunlop series was made. Separating the Privateer's and the serious teams. I would love to see dunlop series cars mixing it with the big boys (and yes i know a lot of them are already main game teams)
for that to work they would have to make Bathurst a stand alone race again, it couldn be apart of the championship. Then they could open it up a bit more, make it more interesting thats for sure.

gotta say it was a nice surprise to see and hear Barry Sheene once again, he was a great bloke
Thank you Dick Johnson, bloody legend mate
Back in the days of 55 cars...
+dabooda49 now there's barely half that
@@AlonsoRules sadly, formula one has gone the same way. a pattern that organizers need to acknowledge and fix.
That start was intense
@@AlonsoRules still have about the same number of finishers though
Barry sheene was a favorite in our house great commentator funny guy beast on a bike.RIP Barry
Matthew Stuart The worst was Greg Rust. Literally would not stop shouting the whole races
He knew when to call it quits and move onto his next challenge. This guy is very intelligent. Doesn't matter what he does he'll succeed.

RAAR_DOGZ Shows you how important reliability is in motor racing doesn't it?

All this and Barry Sheene too!
A young Leigh Diffey on the call as he now is in the states as the current lead man for Formula 1 and IndyCar with NBCSN
Love from America!
The Aussies speak my kind of Motorsport.
Really love the sound in and out of Dick Johnson’s Ford
DJR cars have always sounded the best!
OH MY WORD 55 CARS!
Dick Johnson retired from full-time racing competition in 1999 and only made one return to V8 Supercars, replacing endurance driver Jason Bright who was unavailable for the Queensland 500 in 2000.
Bring back 55 cars!
sadly, not enough teams to fork up the rediculous costs.
55 cars on the track. That was awesome.And all greatest names of motorsport.
Legend 👏👏
Bring back the full 55 car field the hell with franchise rules this is Bathurst.

55 Starters GLORY DAYS Barry Sheen on tha mic how good was it what a mess it has become!!!!

barry phillips I've been to every race since 2013
55 cars !
incredible
Barry Sheene. Bloody Legend 🤘🤘🤘
That Au rear end was 30 years ahead of time. Can't say the same for the front
The independent rear of the road car or the track live Axel?
Only 26 cars in 2019 Bathurst is dying a slow death
You'll still be saying the same crap in years to come 👍
If Bathurst is still on in years to come
The Shell Helix Fords,greatest livery.
What a legend

the AU falcons were probably the best looking supercars ever .
Bring back the 55 car field PLEASE!!!! That would make for exciting racing.
for that to work they would have to make Bathurst a stand alone race again, it couldn be apart of the championship. Then they could open it up a bit more, make it more interesting thats for sure.
Shows up all that has gone wrong with the V8 stupor cars since those days. They can barely manage a field at half the events now.
yeah i agree. Let the full Dunlop series field compete for Bathurst as well!
A very young Leigh Diffey on comms
55 cars the longest field ever.
Had John Bowe been with the team still i reckon they would have been a favourite to win and give dick a win on his final bathurst.
The Au falcon should have won that year
Yeah Paul’s car was a bullet
Amazing....full 55 car field. Aussies do it best. just imagine pit straight. 2 days till 2013bathurst
i can imagine that you must feel slow if you qualified last in this race
We miss you, Barry!!
COTF is supposed to be much, much cheaper... Open it up to privateers again?
has Skaife ever made a good start at Bathurst?? lol
Has Skaife made a good start ever?
RocketSkates has mark Skaife ever done anything good
Cam McDougall good point, lol
