+Richard Townsend hahhahaha quality banter right there

I love this comment

top quality banter

Richard Townsend I still love watching this. He could hear it all. Um who won? Poor team and driver management lol

LMAAAAAOOOOOOOO

It never gets old.

***** Group A was SO much better.

Antifaith29 And Group C was "SO much better" again

***** We are in golden era of V8s at Bathurst. Every race for the last few years are just absolute stunners. People who wank about the good ol' days are idiots (I lived through all of them from the 70s) Don't get me wrong I love all those eras but the stuff now is just SO flat out hyper competitive and close.

PeterHBne1 dude, f1 fans are worse. Rose tinted spectacles about the v10 era and how much better it was. Schumacher winning every week,no on track overtaking and all that shit.

That is true. People bang on about the glory days being the Group C era, and yeah sure the cars back then were closer to their showroom spec, however it was always the same old winners. This, folks, is the best era - certainly as far as the intensity of the racing goes.

@weather12guy this track is a public road which you can actually drive on 355 days of the year. The Bathurst race however, is best watched on TV, due to the 6.2km / 2.07 lap times. If you ever make it down under and to a race, I recommend watching one of the other races in the series- Adelaide, Newcastle, Gold Coast etc. Much more spectator friendly.

A lot of international drivers who have raced there claim it is the scariest track in the world!

Watched the series since I was a kid on Motors TV. This race turned me into a Mostert fan though. Unbelievable race

Have you made it there yet?

the tv does not do it justice - it looks flat and sterile on tv compared to the actual track if you can make it, do it just walking around the track is amazing enough, without even seeing v8 superfarce going around it

Not even close

+Wayne Ogston Worst thing I ever saw in my whole life watching Bathurst. My Ford-loving mate is still hassling me about it ... (revenge for the plastic bag incident).

Look up Formula One, the day everyone ran out of fuel, San Marino Grand Prix from around 1985

+PeterHBne1 I agree!! I was only a kid watching races in the '90s but I made sure I sat down too watch the entire thing every year (if my dad got his way), and I've heard all about the 'good old days', but these races now are so close even after 1000km!! Last years was easily the best Bathurst I've seen in my life, it's even still saved on my Foxtel Hard Drive. I think some people just reminisce, and get stuck in the old days and can't move forward.

I wish a racing series like this could be broadcasted in Brazil... Great races, they let the guys race, a great event in an awesome track (Bathurst)... Anyway, it's always cool to watch it. Time can be an issue (starts like 1 a.m our local time), but the australian crowd is the one with more interest I had the chance to see Winterbotton running in my hometown once as an invited driver in the season opener for our Stock Car. Great experience

There was name Brock

No, people would not believe it

Never gets old.

in the offseason they did a segment and investigation into it, he had more of a chance of winning by running like he in chance it made it home, if he backed off they would've fallen further into the field. Everyone rails whincup for this but i believe 4th is the best they couldve expected seeing as mosterts car had been stuck at turn 2 during the race. He made an educated decision that roland said was better than the teams at the time.

"just got punted off"

Well, with the way that Chaz was all over the back of him, I don't think he could have held him off, plus right past the Elbow, it looked like Whingecup was swerving left and right, like he was trying to get fuel into the pickup...maybe Jamie's motor stumbled/stalled in the corner of the Elbow and Mostert inadvertently made contact. Of course, this would not be the first time Whingecup would claim a bump and run (See 2014 Clipsal 500 Race 2 finish)

I don´t think the radio was working properly

The radio WAS working properly

As much as I don't like the man he had no choice. A splash and dash through the pits would have seen him finish well down the order. He was lucky and got fifth place points.

He could've reduced his pace over the last few laps to make sure he had more fuel to deal with Mostert.

Whincup was driving the wheels of that car to maintain the gap, If he reduced his pace Mostert would have been all over the back of him forcing him to push harder anyway.

Australians are chads. XD

I was at Reid Park that year and I was cheering the last lap.

And Skaife took it all away...

it happens, but I liked his posture. He decided to try for a win than give up and save fuel. That's how you do it in racing, especially in a big one. The greats of racing would be proud of him

+kalebplaysminecraft ps3 Nah mate, it was one of the best races of any category I've ever seen

So, like Kimi Raikkonen at Suzuka in 2005?

I'm a Ford fan, but apparently Jamie had battery issue which voltage caused radio to not work most of that last stint

@@nigelapps3122 I have watched the race many times both on YT and DVD i NEVER heard anything about JW having battery trouble. This is the first i have heard of battery trouble. Either way it made me HAPPY and i dare say you were not upset by it. 2013 2014 FORD WINS BATHURST!!!!!!!!!!!! JW can help himself, he always feels he has to go 110%, well it cost him the race, all he had to do was back off, you do not need to win by a large margin.

ChrisK Mondeo is our falcon in Europe.

HA. No it isnt.

Aidan Millward A Falcon is much larger and more powerful than a Mondeo

Aidan Millward A Falcon’s Heart is the DOHC 7 main bearing 6cylinder engine.This is a very stable hunk that laughs at miles.Even the six gives you an almost inexhaustible flow of torque.Some of the vehicle’s interior,built to price,is inferior in quality ,but the Falcon’s ability to put 90 miles of travel in an hour,hour after hour,over indifferent road surfaces is a great achievement .All Falcons have gained a very capable front suspension that you will never find falling out on the road.This is a car built for the long hard road.

I Drive a Ford Falcon , Your Right It is a Great Car , or Should I say Was . I WAS at the Pub one day and we We're Talking about why they Stoped MAKEING , FALCONS and Now Holden is Gone , I listen To what they were saying , they Had there head in the sand, I Am older and Final said , it simple Don't support our own car Industry ( I said this Quietly ) No Offence.

The only thing missing was rain, as it often has rained towards the end of the race in other years - just to mix it all up.
