I like spending Sundays watching these things in full length. Great stuff. A classic era

[@sezaiyuyucuoglu8249]

I've got a Rx7 just like Moffat' s sitting in my garage gathering dust. I sit next to it , crack open a can of vb and watch these races on me phone. 😎

[@Rick-Jangle]

Good ol Dicky! Whinging about everything! That’s our boy!

[@deandavis1628]

23m 20s Dandenong's Finest.

[@daniellebcooper7160]

LOL Well picked up.

[@digigarb]

Was there! 👍🏻

[@princephilip-v5t]

The Falcons were thin on the ground that year. Johnson and thats it really. The size of those tyres was ridiculous. Great race though. Some good battles early on. Loved those rx7 Group C cars. And how about the BMW, lower on power and higher on weight than the commodore. Didnt need huge wings to make it go though.

The good old days un like today’s crap boring v8s these car a real race cars slightly modified

[@plezurhounds]

23:19 !!! BTW thanks for your efforts:-)

[@sezaiyuyucuoglu8249]

Moffat knocks off Brock and then just annihilates Grice !! Go MOFFAT , Go ROTARY RX7 !!!! I think I'll just have another sip of me beer while I watch this for the n'th time. ☺☺☺☺

[@princephilip-v5t]

Totally humiliated Grice.

[@sezaiyuyucuoglu8249]

1:04 :05 "and grice is OUT " Rotary smashes v8 and history records the glory of the MAZDA RX7.

[@Spudchucker92]

Crompo is still a boy here. 😂

[@doubleu2]

so he was a pit reporter, then a driver, then up to the broadcasting booth?

[@peterhunter2298]

After this race many believes they should have just given Moffat the James Hardie 1000 winners trophy, such was his favouritism. Little did they know.....

[@AngryTurds]

23:19 don't sugar-coat it bud, tell us how you really feel.

[@sezaiyuyucuoglu8249]

"And grice locks up everything trying to keep up with moffat " ROTARY POWERRRRR 😆😆

[@lukemacann3248]

They were fine handling cars but never had a enough torque.\

[@mickinferrera8743]

I remember watching these races. Johnson always found a way to let us ford fans down. My uncle went out and bought a Bluebird after watching how well they went in the ATCC. It was the worst family car ever.

[@hmmmandrewhmmmzibell7752]

He already knows stay off the phone

[@brianboys9015]

You nut bars. LYW

[@dj17q]

Aaaaah ha ha ha couldn't stop laughing. Neil Crompton is just a boy. Crikey, now does that make me bloody old. Onya Crompt, still doing a good job today.

[@stuartcrigan482]

Brock got disqualified after the race

[@inthedesert2008]

LOL...falcon lasted 200 metres and blew up...

[@dj17q]

Didnt blow up you runt. The clutch seized after scooping up crap in pit paddock. Dont be a juvie......

[@johnbrooks9523]

@@dj17q You're right... Clevos in Group C could usually cover 300 metres and then they blew up. This time the clutch saved the engine from the usual embarrassment... Even Murray Carter gave up on 'em... Juvie...

[@gothicpagan.666]

You can see why series like this die on their asses due to escalating costs. Piss poor management allow a grid full of touring cars look like a mod prod grid. Other than safety equipment and brake pad material change. If it ent fitted on the car you buy, you ent bloody using it.

[@pschard664]

Dat riep Epstein en co ook

[@captainkaos754]

Johnson ever the tryhard was in the typical Moffat camp, wasting money time and effort on a car that was never as good a car as the commodore. The rubbish outdated leaf spring rear end was the least of his problems.

[@princephilip-v5t]

yeah they were a big bulky square lump of a thing. Hard to make the XE falcon look any good.

[@iancampbell7171]

No leaf springs on an XE....coil springs and Watts linkage

[@sezaiyuyucuoglu8249]

How biased are these commentators. ? Mate just suck it up and admit it . The rx7 was better than the dinasour v8 's

[@Sidewinder1999]

Not at Bathurst it wasn't.

[@sezaiyuyucuoglu8249]

@@Sidewinder1999 Ooppss you got me there 😉 Ohh well, you can't win'em all .

[@johnbrooks9523]

@@sezaiyuyucuoglu8249 Moff's 1983 No43 car is still around. We've since had a closer look at it... It is easily the most cheater car to ever get bribed through scrutineering & the Mongrel thing still couldn't cut it at Bathurst! All that noise for NOTHING!
