great footage but so annoying that so much of the lap is missing.

Hes the only one crazy enough to take a Sierra to the limits that thing's probably the most difficult car you could ever drive in a championship let alone trying to do 161 laps

24:30 - The sand trap at McPhillamy Park was still hopelessly inadequate at Easter 1994 when a sideacr racing team of 2 both died there in a similar crash. During the late 1970s & early 1980s, the NSW state govt. banned the use of hay bales as crash absorbers due to the risk of fire. They'd rather have competitors die in a crash than escape from a fire.

Long live the mighty injected 304,and all the work that the HEC did in developing a great race engine. According to AMC's look into the race development of the motor, the factory team was taking them to almost 9000rpm down Conrod during qualifying. Incredible for a pushrod motor. Incredible to think that over 161 laps, they finished only 1 lap behind the much much more sophisticated Nissan R32,aka Godzilla. Long live Holden,HDT,HSV,HRT and all they did for motorsport in Oz😁👍

Impressive lap considering in the1988 shootout he did a 2:22:47 in the Holden Racing Team VL Walkinshaw. He could build "em" and drive "em" . What a Legend : )

The best days of racing in Australia. All down hill after these days, the cry babies couldn't handle turbos destroying V8's.
@johnbrooks9523Ай бұрын
That's odd. I saw endless turbo wankbuckets exploding throughout the entire race, Larry's V8 Commodore held up by morons holding up a plastic barrier, 3 V8 Commodores in the top 5 at the end & a V8 Commodore won it. I take it the turbofools were deliberately using smoke signals to talk to their crews? I see the crowd accurately read the Dick Johnson smoke signals & cheered like mad when they saw them.

Can't explain why, but I always liked those white wheels. I met LP at Bathurst in his garage in the late 90s and asked for a photo. He was very gracious. Also was lucky enough to meet Glenn Seton the same year and he was just the nicest bloke. Took us around his garage. What legends those blokes were in their racing days.

I was lucky enough as a young lad to see Jim rally escorts and race saloon cars in NZ, dad took us to race tracks just about every second weekend. Then move to Aus at age 11 to see him race at Lakeside surfers paradise and Bathurst. He's such a talent and such. modest guy. Anyone that disagrees would be a pack of arse holes😂

@channel 7 why you no do epic intros like this anymore? Always gives me chills now when I watch older stuff like this. I mean actual intro gives me tingles. I learnt the other day it's called frisson. It just ha0ppens but it's usually epic music that causes it or good feelings.
