It's just a shame what the cars of today have become . Nothing like the golden era of Bathurst and Australian touring cars . It's Gone.

I remember watching this on VHS repeatedly as a kid. There's honestly no sound comparable in pleasure to the roar of the old 308s at full throttle. :D

Holden leading is my greatest memory!

Im from the uk but admire this race and Aussies so much

Came back for another watch of this classic...Brocky is gone, Moffat is stricken with Alzheimer's and the Commodore and Falcon are no longer being made...Bloody sad!

Now that's what I call a documentary. Nothing stirs the soul like the sound of a V8 at full rpm. Too many great moments to mention in this. 🤘😎🤘

fantastic footage , re watching all the great race events and the races in between on a beautiful weather week in may 2023

I've always been a great Holden fun. To Jim Richards, you were totally right in what you said, good on ya mate and I have always thought and said so. This is one Hell of a good video covering the history of "BATHURST".

The Picture o Allan Moffat Crashing the 1986 Holden Commodore was one of five series of pictures taken buy my father Phillip "Batsy" Lee RIP

Lucky wasn't pushing a gt falcon.. absolutely best footage I have seen..thanks for the memories. Always wished gricey had one a couple he was a very underated driver how's first laps 1986. Huge speed improvement, and cornering. Unbeatable Brock/Richards..

I grew up in this era of Aussie motorsport. There was nothing better.

Quality Quarantine Entertainment, cheers!

Very cool documentary. Bought back a whole lot of memories. Thank you.

A race track with a letter box right there on the side of the road. Classic. 0:09

54:58 "It's Bernie Stack" "he's had a good one" commentary Gold :D

Those cars make a beautiful sound!

I love this race and follow it Nearly every year ( I miss it if I'm on Holiday in Europe or somewhere) ; I'm a Ford fan because my Dad was a Tank Commander of a M4 Sherman powered by the mighty Ford GAA V8 18 Liter engine, so after WW2 my dad only purchased a brand new Fords. He love that massive big Ford 18 Liter GAA V8, it was the best engine in a Sherman Tank! There are two Races in Australia which bring NZ to a stop; 1 Is the Melbourne Cup 2 and is Bathurst! I love my Aussie mates accross the other side of the ditch.

Fantastic...That brought back a heap of memories.

Wow just wow love it ❤

My sister and her husband bought an SLR5000 back in 74, Immediately fitted the bolt on flairs and American racing mags and it looked and sounded amazing. He still has, and it's only about 48,000miles. Still all original and looks brand new to this day. He'd been offered $250,000 back in the 90s. I shudder to think how much it would be today. My daughter sold a mock-up SLR a few years back for $40,000, and it wasn't a great example to be honest. I wish I had kept some of the cars I had back in the day. I'd be a millionaire now 🙂

Miss you Brocky.

Great memories, but the last section with Boys In the Bush just tingles my spine. Great stuff!!!

yet another fantastic upload .....I was in hospital I orange last week and on the same ward were 4 other guys who all love this channel we talked for over an hour about its content .. mate whoever you are you are a true historian .. from me and the guys in the hospital we all thank you and hope you keep uploading for years to come

Can we all just stop for a minute and appreciate how hard Win Percy 'sent it' at 1:35:33!!! Man that guy had skill when he chose to turn it on!

A Wonderful Documentary , Super 100MPH ! Thank You !! Well Done !!

Thanks for uploading this! My mate got this on VHS for his birthday 20 years ago, we used to love watching it. This IMO has some of the best driver banter and Bathurst anecdotes in any doco I've seen. Hadn't seen super100 notification for a while, so this was a pleasant surprise. Cheers!

Very dissapointed that Brian Sampson didn't get a better mention in the 1975 Brock / Sampson win. I worked for Brian for over 7 years and had a lot of respect for his business acumen and his driver expertise in so many catagories of racing.

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER BROCKY R.I.P

Holden were racing at Bathurst before 1969. As far back when the race was at Phillip island

Bloody awesome stuff.

Best commentary team in the world EVER mike Raymond Gary Wilkinson Evan green.

In fact the first win by Holden at Bathurst was in 1968. First, second, third and fifth positions were won by drivers of Holden HK Monaro GTS327s.

Have been waiting and searching for a digital version of this for a long time. Thank you very much!!

Love this documentary.

I really enjoyed this

I still have the 1\2 skyline win in models made by Tomica Japan still love the skylines 👍

Full noise into Murrays corner ....Moffat, Grice & Bond ...29.00 mins

I love u holden

10:59-11:19 that rendition of "Long Train Running" by Doobie Brothers though

As a pom in the UK, is that a Torana SS or SLR500 jobbie in the intro? I do enjoy your videos, keep 'em coming,

Awsome Chris Econamasy

Might not be the same spot, but it's scary to see Brown's Falcon rolling on the rail like that and to survive unlike poor Don Watson

GM Are you listening to the comments of Ross McKenzie......?

For as long as I've been watching Bathurst, is there any kind of video for when Forrest's Elbow got its name? I know how it did. Just wondering if there was anything to show it.

Thats when it mattered, now the country don't give a flying ....

The Falcon seems huge compared to the Torana. How did it compete so well?

Any chance you have the later years? '94 onwards?

1:21.18 grice & harvey's battle ..

How many cubes were the camaros?

Could hear that RX-7 howling from back in the pack! Lol

Didn't Holden enter the HK in 68' and win?

Name and artist in the song at 1:41:40 pls

1973 when Brock ran out of fuel should have won & in 1974 V8 Torana was that far ahead it should have won by Torana as well . Very unlucky. 1977 , I’ve always had my suspicions. From a Ford guy …….. But there is other stories which people won’t like the truth and the corruption still goes on today.

any way of killing music?

True. Anglo-Saxon.

Ford should have put a v8 or in the cortina and put that against the mighty torana. Even the 4.1 cortina would have been a good match with the xu1.

Holdens Philophecy ...if you cant beat it "Ban it" ...Holden just couldnt build a competitive car so they had the Nissan GTR banned (and anything else that could beat them)...and hence..."Went Broke".....At one stage in the 80s/90s Holdens competitors were adding Twin Cam's, Turbo's and Fuel injection, while Holden were still putting dirty old 186 Red Motors in their cars...Sad for Australian manufacturing but just true.

First race since about 1969-70 I haven't watched. Irrelevant cars made in America. It's over for me and many others.

Now rip ford Australia

So GM owns Holden?

I always believed that Ford should have dropped a V8 in the Capri.

He was going bald at 26?....that's sad.

Could you imagine this with electric vehicles. 🤔👎

The great race...until the advent of boring generic V8 soupcars. 🧐🧐

funny how only one race matters when you have less titles than ford hahahaha . sure holden got lucky at bathurst and good for them, but to say only one race matters is utter bullshit . ford smacked them in title land and they holden fans find that very hard to swallow . so disrespectful . A brand of cars ability is surely measured over many race tracks not one . GO FORD . Brock was winning bathurst in the early 80s whils't dicky was whopping him at just about every other track the priveteer against the factory and dicky smacked them . brock on record as saying the c/ships were only practice as well as moff on record as saying if you don't have factory support there is no use in trying . how jealous were they of dickie . 81 82 84 dickie won all 3 titles when brock and his full factory outfit were at the peak of their powers .

Thought this was going to be about the white man...what a disappointment.
