[@dereknelson4637]

Thanks for the upload - never seen this race before! Gotta love the bogan screaming "Holdens!" at the end! :)

That's something I would have done in 1996 mate I was very young back in 1996 but the way I was back then I so would have done what that bogan did 😂😂😂😂😂

Holdens 🤣🤣🤣

[@Spacegoat92]

THIS!!!!! This was the first V8 supercars race i watched in it's entirety! And it was the one that got me hooked until they changed everything and made it boring. I remember i was sitting there biting my nails going for Lowndes, then when he took him i went off!!!

[@dabooda49]

Wow only 24 cars entered? And only 3 years later there were 44 cars at Eastern Creek for round 1? What happened to increase the grid so much?

[@DeanMehrtens]

They got rid of the Japanese cars and made it competitive again

[@LachlanMoss27]

So awesome mate! Thank you very much!

[@leongt1954]

They said it was the car that won lowndes his championship but Murphy had the same car in 1997 and could only manage 4th in the championship

[@joshluna20]

Go the mighty Falcons...

The days when Holden dominated and rightfully so. 🇦🇺

[@DMT267]

Funny how the commentators say "Ford versus Commodore" and not Ford vs Holden 🤔

[@RunningOn7CylindersYT]

Do you have anything from 2001?

[@mikey380sx]

Whoops. Bit of a missed shift from brocky at 10:00

[@holdenv81000]

If it wasn't for bad luck Mark Larkham would have no luck at all.

[@barryphillips7327]

2h.06m a LandRover and a trailer to recover a car?? Are you serious???? In a Major motorsport event and that is the best they can do???? Unbelievable!!!! I might this at a small clubsport hillclimb or something but at the second biggest race in Australia!!!! 39min; Young Russell Ingall. Mark Larham often had Bad luck, great guy great driver! Bother i would not have minded Glenn Seton winning, he did win ATCC 96 97? 2h;02m;23s; ''the Dick Johnson Commodore'' Dick is a Ford man thank you!!

barry phillips. It's actually a nissan patrol

[@barryphillips7327]

@@peterbarber7613 after watching it again, think both of us are wrong, it looks more like an early FJ Landcruiser Toyota, either way in a Big event like this pretty substandard!!!! To say the Least!!!! Looks Nothing like a Nissan Patrol!!!!

Terrible coverage, didn’t see any of the passing moves live until around the 45 min mark...

[@markmark5269]

This is one of the worst TV Directors of a motor race I have watched. We even almost missed the start the Director was so busy watching a backmarker car getting fixed in the pits. Countless passing moves were missed, even though it was obvious they were about to happen, shocking coverage.

[@oliverrees433]

Interesting comment and I tend to agree that the direction is pretty poor. However it’s also worth noting that this coverage seemed to include a few things which would become standard in Ten’s coverage of the supercars from the following year. Specifically the use of a cherry picker camera, smaller on board cameras, Bill Woods hosting the larger events, use of a crane camera and lap counter. So while not great coverage it’s cool to see some of the innovations they’d soon use.
