Production based racing, so much more interesting than the clones they race these days. The old girls might not have been as fast as the supercars but had loads more character and might l say relevance to the average fan, not to mention the drivers who really were themselves such lovable laricans.

so many great memories with all the big names, as a kid i was blown away by these cars pace and lap times now it just comes down to pit times and milliseconds

Seat of the pants racing, great days, great drivers great cars!!Commentators sounded like they were on the piss though.

Escorts, Gemini, Alfas awesome he he

The L34 biggest weakness was the diff....Brocky had it under control as usual💪💪💪

When I was a young fan, after about the 68 Tasman, the NZ Weekly News ( Wilson and Hooton) ran a assessment of who might be future NZ GP drivers to follow Amon, Hulme etc. Saloon car driver Jim.Richards , G.Lawrence, D Oxton and Brian Faloon, who ran various extraordinarily outdated Brabham 2.5 Climax and in 197O a long bodied Rorstan 2.5 Climax sponsored by Cambridge cigs and looked a lot like Gurney's 2.5 Eagle. In that machine Faloon put in some extraordinary performances holding of Dereck Bell in a mishandling Brabham BT26 undrivable on Firestone's, for 25 laps and holding off G.McRae at Levels for longer. Jimmy Richards of course moved to Australia and as well a Bathurst star did a reasonable F5000 series in 1979. In terms of his supposedly great rival Mr Brock, you just have to watch the 77 Bathurst won by Moffat and Ickx. As Alan Moffat said we couldn't slow Ickx enough. Ickx destroyed Brock 20 timed before his greatest fans, as they took the mindblowings downhill bends in front of the ' box' . Australian films of the 77 Bathurst are like a Beckett novel. There is no focus on what is unfolding

20:00 Broken Torana under the huge Torana billboard!

Loved These cars was driver and car no computer bs input

Not often you get to hear Mike Raymond there in the ABC commentary box!

LOl, at 21:36 some guy runs across the main straight !

Thats racing

Sounds like the bloody melbourne cup, great cars though

No sound?? otherwise good.

PETER PERFECT

Goss car was slowly running out of brakes

Commentator racing as fast as the cars in the first two laps. Sounds like horse racing 😂

what a terrible edit of the race it left out all the key passing moves and gave no explanation as to what happened to Bond and how Moffat elevated to 2nd. That said there were some great moments especially enjoyed the race and really have to say how much the videoproduktion has improved.

Everybody in the pits is on a Sunday picnic ?? strolling around...cars coming in looking for pits.. furl getting splashed everywhere... laughable by today's standards.

Mike Raymond sounded great as usual but what was the other commentator on?! Worst ever!

Commentary was shit then, as it is today.
