In 1979 everybody was talking about the Penrith Pantherettes . Surely I am not the only guy who remembers them, not marching girls more a cheer squad. I really think the golden era for Bathurst was about 1993 to the mid 2000’s.Thevraces of this period was for amateurs. You had about 12 competitive cars, then small classes & amateurs.
@wizzard54423 жыл бұрын
Dont know how old you are but the golden era was really from 1968 (Monaro vs Falcon GT) right thru the 70's (Valiant Chargers) up to early 80's when Ford stopped making V8's and Moffat driving Mazda RX7's and Dick Johnson started making a name for himself.

@@wizzard5442 I do agree with that but even then it was not close racing 78 for example Brock won by about 5 laps.In fact and this is came from a source who knew. The car ran another 1000km at Lang Lang . There was huge amounts of money spent by Philip Morris & GMH on that team & Cars. The first racing Commodore was a pre production VB which could not be sold. These cars were mainly donated to tech schools (TAFE’s) Everything was stripped out of that car & HDT took a rolling chassis to build Brock’s first Commodore.

What a tragic state of affairs motor racing has become. No real relativity to a road car, which is what it used to be about and not an Aussie nut or bolt amongst any of them. God l miss the way we used to do motor racing, the pridictable farce we have now may be faster but devoid of any character. Fortunately people still like what its become but sorry its not for me. I wonder how many yonger ones have had a good look at the touring car races of the 70s and 80s, much more interesting in my opinion. Still l do respect the committment of the teams and drivers, its just the format.
@saaaahduuuuude12285 жыл бұрын
Well, I'll tell you now that I'm one of the younger ones. Not even an Aussie but I watch these races. You hit the nail on the head about the problem with modern homologation. GT3/4 are still somewhat close to the road cars but these old touring car races are the best. Much prefer watching old highlights than a full modern NASCAR of Formula One race. All the cars are regulated to hell.

The Commodore was smaller and lighter 5ltr engine ( 308ci Holden engine? ) the Falcon was a bigger heavier car 351ci or 5.7ltr, i doubt the Falcon would handle quite as well as the Commodore but down Conrod straight the Falcon should have the grunt! Sorry but it just was not Holden,s year.

To be fair. Mustangs and Camaros have already been used during what people call the golden period. Mustang in the 60s and 80s. Camaro in the 80s too. Heck. The late 80s/early 90s were dominated by foreign cars (RS500, Godzilla, M3 etc). The Commodore really struggled against the smaller, lighter and more advanced cars.
