Group C, 1973 to 1984. This era of Bathurst was indeed by far the best. 60+ cars, different classes and types of cars, and of course pure racing, with none of the bullshit of today's racing, which 90% of us can't stand. 100%, actually. 110% of us to be more precise. :)

This is really good, is this the first 50 minutes of this 1978 race. Robo's Super Channel do you have this whole 1978 race ?

Boss 302 Mustang, Falcon GTHO, Colongne Capri, Chevy Monza, Sebring BMW, Le Mans Porsche, Commodore, Mazda 12a and 13b, Allan Moffat could drive any car to a win. No, I didn't forget the 1.6 litre BDA Escort giving the 7 litre Camaro a driving lesson at Calder Park. I was there.

Fun Facts: * Peter Brock's 9th and last Sandown enduro win. * Holden would not win the Sandown 500 again until 1992. * Larry Perkins won this race, he also won in 1992 with Steve Harrington, co-driving here with Allan Grice. * Nissan would win 4 of the 8 Group A Sandown 500's. * Allan Grice set the Group C lap record here with a 1 min 48.3 second lap. John Bowe holds the Group A lap record in a Ford Sierra RS500 with a 1 min 47.65 lap in the 1988 Sandown 500.

It was really done to try and attract Formula One to Sandown, but that was never going to happen. Most likened it to a Village Grand Prix. I can tell you this though. While Sandown was never going to get F1 ... the original GP in Adelaide almost never was either. Bernie Ecclestone was highly in favour of having a GP in Sydney around the area of The Rocks (having the Harbour Bridge and Opera House as a backdrop.....🤨). That was until Adelaide finalised their bid and what actually got them over the line was that it was fully backed by the South Australian state government and not just a promotor with the promise of money.

@deanstevenson6527 Ай бұрын

Ford could have made 400 cars with an after market 'factory' steel crank, 25 cars with the Boss 302 Trans Am roller rockers for homolgation, and used the Concorde/ Monza ( later Mad Max!) show cars 0.36 drag factor front end with fiberglass pieces replacing all body panels except for the roof, doors, and quarter panels. Thats right where the 1983 Falcon moved to, a car benching at 1285 kilos, with 4V heads and with a Moldex steel crank. Instead, Edsel Bryant Ford II got funding for a paint job and a few durability and tyre size mods. In an environment where the A9X had F5000 reciprocating durability parts, weight reduction body, Ford under did it for the next 26 years. Ford then knobbled the Holden winning streak with Project Blueprint. Holden lovers got all the ammunition in 78, and never looked back...

What bit is the "Missing Footage'"?

@AVportau Ай бұрын

wow, the way Alan Moffat throws that boat around is impressive. those XA-XC bodies were big and heavy. Harvey has a great machine in that Torana. this was the real Bathurst/Mt Panorama days... back when productions cars ruled, as they still should, but somehow it all got glorified into a class that nobody drives in reality... production car racing still exists but tv and sponsors are focused on the glamour racing... it really fell apart after they banned turbos and turned it into Ford vs GMH/C.

@eoin1959 Ай бұрын

At the end of 1977, Ford slashed their spending on motorsport, and Holden went "open cheque book"... the rest is history.

Ah the good old days of real production car racing rather than identical "cookie cutter" V8 supercars that are all the same and under the skin, just dressed up to look like different makes of production cars.

@robossuperchannel9434 Ай бұрын

Under the Supercar rules of today, because Moffat had pitted and Harvey had not, Moffat would not be shown the blue flag. Back in 1978 there was no obligation for Moffat to move over at all.

16:20 So true. Pironi drove a car he'd never seen before in a category he'd never competed in before, on a track he'd never seen before and beat them all, barring the two F1s. It was such an impressive performance.
