Probably one of the best ever stints at Bathurst. Slicks in the wet! No one will be as good as him, different times, different cars

Glenn Seton was an underated wet weather driver. His drive in the 87 Bathurst in the Nissan Skyline turbo was some of the best wet driving i've ever seen.

Still miss you "King" no one else comes close mate..things just aren't the same without ya. K.D.Cane...

+Peter House Very true, but he did win again under the new rules. Endurance racing like this isn't solely a contest of driver skill, driver luck comes into it a very great deal and no-one is lucky all the time and there were definitely times when Brock and his co-drivers certainly didn't have the run of the luck...

As a new convert to Australian racing....Good lord Brock had a set of balls on him the size of boulders....I am two years into my journey of watching all the Supercar stuff i can....and Lord here in the states even back then i dont think they would have raced on a track that wet....Then again i think they only track here in the states we have that comparable to the mountain...Is maybe Laguna Seca and i have never seen them run in the rain there....Yet Brock handles that car like a sunday drive in the mountains of East Tennessee good good stuff

jmissle gday chills still run down my neck watching that I’ve been there when I was younger to watch and have the odd beer 🍺 of coarse and nothing rated higher than standing in the hot sun or poring rain for Brocky. His long run of preference street vehicles were unbelievable to he could take a stock car and win races or turn them into killers for the streets. He could probably have driven Bathurst blindfolded. And was the kind of bloke that in the days leading up to the race would walk the crowd sighing and posing for picks with his fans. What a man Long live the KING 🤴👍🇦🇺

They went to Holden vs Ford because they changed the rule so they no longer had to be production cars. In response Nissan built cars made for racing while nobody else did. Then they got all upset that nissan was playing by the rules and dominating because they chose not to just stick to the old rules. They couldn't change back to production cars only so instead changed it to Ford vs Holden

I'm from Australia, I love Australian touring car racing, but that moment in history is shameful for Australian racing.

He had had the year form hell and the 10 car was really just a shit box cobbled together from whatever was lying around the garage so the sponsors could see two cars in the race. And he took it out, drove the wheels off and (eventually) won! The crowd at the top of the mountain were going nuts every time he drove past towards the end

The commentary was fairly understated for such a greasy, sliding, Hell raising lap! Bring back Group A and let's all watch cars we can actually buy in our premiere touring car series. To hell with shed built racing cars wearing family car disguises and to hell with parity. Let the manufacturers worry about parity when they build their touring car specials.
@alexanderSydneyOz
@alexanderSydneyOz 10 жыл бұрын
unfortunately, that would mean hordes of GTRs, WRX and EVOs on the podium. which is all fine, but it wont make really saleable television, and without that there is no high budget racing. it hardly needs to be stated that motor racing in oz has always levered off the Ford vs Holden idiom. when they were marginalised by better cars, the rules were (wisely) changed to exclude the better cars. now we are looking at not even having V8 Fords or Holdens at all, so the only way to keep the F v H battle fiction alive (which is necessary for viewers) is to have Ford and Holden motors racing each other in standardised, shed-built chassis. even then, it is only going to work by hobbling the OHC V8s from other manufacturers, with rev limiters! so i hear ya bro, but the past is the past. if the australian public could become enthused about nissan/subaru/mitsubhshi 4wd turbo supercars, i reckon that would make for great racing, but my impression is it just wont happen. lastly and back on point... yep, PB was just awesome. 9 Bathurst wins!

I watched that race as did most of my friends at that time. Brock drove incredibly well yes but the Big talking point was the Glenn Seaton in the heaviest of the rain manhandling the Nissan Skyline. The second big issue was the guards on the winning cars & what crap it was. Brock was not driving the car he started in . Peter Brock was probably one of the top 5 most outstanding drives ever in this country but the drive of that race was Seaton.

@@johnroach9691 Remember how big an a vantage he had. The cars were semi factory baked. Just saying what people said. No Brocky on his day was absolutely breathtaking. The 79 to 84 period he was definitely at his peak but had huge access to Phillip Morris and Holden Engineering. I was told by a senior manufacturing manager at the time that the 79 car ran another 1000 km without problem . Ford had pulled the plug on Moffat. Jim Richards & Larry Perkins were his Co Driver’s & Larry was his chief Engineer in 83 & 84. You just had to walk around the paddock at Bathurst at that time to realise how much more money Brock had . Brocks performance in the Repco rally was extraordinary. Just saying that’s Seaton’s performance in the downpour was my and many others highlight of that race. It was an incredible race, never forget Tony Longhurst’s eyes after a near miss with the BMW M3. There is no question that Peter Brock was amongst the best drivers this country has produced alongside Alan Jones & Jack Brabham. Brabham through the dipper in his A9X was an artist at work.

Even running slicks on a drying track he was fast ! Geez I miss him ! I would have loved to see him take the last ever Holden supercar for a blast around the mountain ! I know many commentators waffle on about how good some drivers are today but stick a young Brock in a modern car and I reckon he would shit on them - he was so talented !

as john bowe said, brock may have thought he could drive fast on slick tyres in the wet, but bowe was 15 seconds a lap faster and catching him in a hurry.

I was not aware that Bowe was catching him at that pace. The day after that race at work in an Engineering environment this drive was barely mentioned everybody was talking about Seton in the rather crude Skyline. Glen was on fire that day, it really established his future career. It’s was bucketing down he was grabbing huge chunks of opposite lock, & the rev limiter was constantly going off. Mike Raymond was going nuts. Probably the Best Bathurst I ever saw. I know it may not have been as close as other Bathurst’s but my god it was a great race.

Only Brocky would go out early on slicks in the wet. He just did that lap on the knife edge of grip or disaster. He was definitely driving by the seat of his pants, using all of the skills he learnt as a kid racing his paddock basher around at the weekend and probably in the wet. Vale Brocky.

How old are you you clown. Or probably another millennial dickhead keyboard warrior. In all forms of racing when the track drys it’s a decision you make to use slicks or not. your stupid comments lead me to believe you are just another little boy who is viewing this for the first time and think you are an authority on the racing craft.
