Australian Story - Craig Lowndes - A Red Hot Go

[@TimothyLee68]

This is absolutely fantastic. I love Craig as a driver and in person. Thanks for uploading this emotional documentary.

[@pvkoz8698]

I've been following the car racing since the early 70s. I love it. I remember seeing Lowndes in 1994 and thought this guy is quick. I kept an eye on him and look what happened! Me and my son have met him a couple of times and I have a photo of Craig and my son together. He's an outstanding driver (his drive at Adelaide in 1999 from last to first is one of the best races I've ever seen), he's very competitive but a very fair racer. He's an outstanding guy, very good to his fans and a winning smile that's so contagious. Awesome individual.

craig u are an inspiration and so miss seeing u on the track now in 2020 its just not the same but I know things must change ……….thanks so much for all the memories not one race I did not watch with u there and such a touching story of u and your best mate brocky he was a legend like u,his prodigy child on the track

[@chrisso4869]

not many people can say they were mentored by Peter Brock. This is a great example of that typical Aussie spirit and Mateship

[@dawg969]

this was the best documentary i have ever seen. i cried

[@bradtulk7042]

one of the most touching stories ive watched craig u are one awsome person and driver ive ever seen in v8s and so miss u racing now and rip brocky your mentor and legend this sport just wont be the same

[@aysenna01]

Thanks for this documentary.

[@deadrubber22]

I remember this day on the radio I bursted into tears.

[@golfboy666gti]

Thanks very much. Never seen this in NZ before.

[@theotherwayofstopping4717]

Doesn't involve tattooed neanderthals with an egg shaped ball, so you you won't.

[@interceptorm5]

Thank you very, very much.

[@hopebear06]

My brother was in school with Craig and Jamie Whincup grew up in the same street as us. David Whincup played the role of Santa for the street Christmas party. My dad raced against P. B and i still remember hanging out at the Peter Brock speed shop in Greensborough. Ah! The good old days.

[@shaunfarnsworth3438]

How does that work they are 10 years apart in age

[@deepsearacingprawn1396]

Yea anyways life goes on why dream of yesterday's. Remember yesterday dream about tomorrow but live today

[@4472ify]

what is the music played from the start of the Bathurst 2007 after Brock died , love it but have never known the name of it , & due to the commentary Shazam can't find it , if anyone can tell me or find it , I'd be grateful , thanks

[@benpasquale6353]

a gentleman of the sport....we will miss you next year....all the best for lemans 24 hr

[@Bink1]

Thank you

[@Ward1706]

There are some things that you can picture so vividly in your mind when certain events happened and one of those events, for me, was when I heard Peter Brock had crashed (I can't remember whether if he was confirmed dead at that stage or not). I remember as if was yesterday. I could take you there right now, that spot.

[@TheWAZA81]

Loved that. True legends.

[@bradtulk7042]

craig u are the only one that has kept me watching motor sport and the day u retire I think so am I ..........peter brock was such a blessing for your hard road In motor racing but u are one great well balanced man that we love to watch win or fail we all l,ove your great smile,keep racing hard mate

[@Disc0Potat0]

Great story. I'm rather new to the V8's but have been a bit of a Lowndes fan ever since i started following the series last year. Now im even more of a fan.

[@666demonknight666]

Very good story. THanks alot.

[@carenbarnet378]

In the spirit of motorsport passion, I have always barracked for Craig, even though I am a diehard Ford Girl. Craig's passion for his sport showed on and off the track. He always had a smile on his dial. His love for Peter Brock was evident when Bev and Ford sanctioned Craig to emotionally drive Brock's GTR XU1 on the lap of honour, saying goodbye in style to his best mate, before the big race. I am absolutely certain Brocky was in the car with Craig during that whole Bathurst Race.

[@be8282]

very good story, hello from se queensland, RIP Brocky, Lowndesey....( both legends, lowndsey your such a genuine down to earth guy, good on ya, go FORD go HOLDEN, both great brands go AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@napanz]

an amazing person

[@pedrotski]

8:07 sends shivers down my spine. I wont forget watching that!

[@trig332]

I remember him and Wincup visiting the primary school I attended in 2009

[@scottbrewer2256]

thanks lukey

[@MarkMash17]

What a great person...

[@birdie068]

You are the man.

[@KingMatto]

Thanks Lukey, I wasn't born in the generation of Brocky, but I know he was a true champ, but Lowndesy and Skaife would have to be the best drivers of my generation...

[@owenpickering5098]

LONG LIVE THE KING

[@bpntc]

Such a happy sad story, also sad that him and nat aren't together.

[@Jellybeantiger]

Legend.

[@jacksonpayne9075]

Absolute legend

[@61SGman]

Does anyone know what happened to Craig and Nat, they always seemed so good together?

[@trannik]

Holy shit I actually cried :/

[@michaelbohling4954]

a true legend

[@afraychesse7349]

what a top bloke!

[@polly018]

just like brocky, a bloody champ

[@hottropic1000]

a great story ,so sad that craig and nat are no more but a bit too much brock in this story after all brock was a little crazy

[@paulej2871]

Some ignorant people judge Lowndes by the car he drives.....How stupid are they. Their REAL knowledge of motor racing skill could be written on a fucking pin head with space left on it !!!! He is in the Top 5 best drivers of any type of car this country has ever produced !!

[@dranthappens]

Triple 8 lodging a protest of the result of the last race was when they first started to bully their way into winning.

[@SRB2838]

if my kids can grow up anything like lowndesy then ill be extremely happy

[@777hdt]

You’re a champ Craig, go Freo

[@MrLucidity]

I'm Ford man through and through, but will always cheer for Lowndes regardless of brand. He could be racing for Skoda and I'd be cheering him. He's freaking ATCC Royalty

[@76aussieguy]

i dont think any driver has broken the divide between Ford or Holden the way Lowndes has. he's all class

[@deadrubber22]

:( feel sorry for Craig.

[@leecoates4082]

i wonder if he equals brocks bathurst wins will he retire

[@moulzy]

the best australian champion.

[@Tjf746]

his a top bloke and a aussie hero

[@gerardwyer3171]

GM Holden has betrayed all of the workers in Adelaide. It's not an Aussie car any more.

[@76aussieguy]

what makes you say that Joe?

[@tonypegler3618]

Craig has recently discovered he doesn't like catfish.

[@michaelsloanedog]

13:22 dammit...

[@interceptorm5]

You user name says it all.

[@benos4x4adventures49]

Craig lowndes...Holden, Ford, then Holden

[@leongt1954]

Greg Murphy calls him the great man

[@PapaBaush]

Are you for real? Thats sad alright

[@Antifaith29]

Most emotional? Never seen any ww2 docs or something like that? I know Lowndes is a great racer, seems like a good guy and all of that but in the end, hes getting paid a shitload to race cars. Hes not storming the beaches of france watching his friends get slaughtered, ya know?

[@joshski85]

Your life must be pretty sad that you have to come on the internet and say stuff like that to get attention to fill your day.

[@Tassieguru]

Like number 64 :P

[@daverandall747]

Great story ... Lowndsey much more suited in a Ford and Rick Kelly cheated the championship and will never win another now that is karma for you !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Ward1706]

Rick cheated him, yes. More suited in a Ford? Mmm, no...

[@TimothyLee68]

You really, really, really need to learn to have some respect.

[@fatcat8776]

His wifes, um, alright, but I mean this is Craig Lowndes...
