Classic Bathurst Crashes

[@BeAGoodDoga]

The king of touring car commentators. RIP Mike Raymond.

[@HappyPandaPropertyServicesTV]

At puberty my father said never trust rubber....that's funny as hell.

[@BlairSauer]

Couldn't help but laugh at that. If he said that today, he'd be crucified by the PC (political correctness) brigade.

[@damo9997]

Radio broadcaster Doug Mulray at his bawdy best. R.I.P. Uncle Doug

[@TheKnobCalledTone.]

Not bad, but they could have left out Denny Hulme's crash. The poor bloke crashed because had a heart attack, and then passed away shortly afterwards as a result. RIP.

[@drewzerna4087]

Was the only reason he crashed, had survived much more serious crashes during his career…agree it didn’t need to be included in a clip about Bathursts biggest crashes

[@lagoo1982]

@@drewzerna4087 I remember watching that, I was only about 9 or 10

[@Monaro99]

RIP Denny Hulme. Great video, thanks for uploading.

[@BlairSauer]

Yeah he died of a heart attack during the 1992 Bathurst 1000.

[@nails0r]

What an absolute gem of an upload! Some of the commentary was hilarious. Love it. Definitely going onto my favourites.

[@damyukiddz2198]

The commentary was bloody proper .. hahaha

[@Paul87R]

@ 9:27 Bouuuoom 😂😂

[@Will89114fmeyea]

Agreed; that's "barbieque material" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Golden-dog88]

amazing how the track n cars have changed in 60 yrs

[@stevensrocks798]

The commentary is truly amazing at times 😂

[@sixstringedthing]

Anybody who's done the obligatory Aussie Revhead pilgrimage and the standard parade lap of the mountain knows just how intimidating it is at 60kmh in a modern vehicle with current tyre technology. The fact that the old blokes did it in those old tanks with sloppy steering boxes and skinny cross-ply tyres at 60 mile an hour is fucking insane. Would have gone faster if not for the weight penalty of their huge balls.

[@JB-vd8bi]

Well said

[@sixstringedthing]

@@JB-vd8bi cheers mate. Nobody should be allowed to armchair-commentate incidents at Mt Panorama until they've taken a car around it themselves, in my humble opinion. Have a nice one ;)

[@Aaron_Hanson]

@@sixstringedthing I was just saying that in a reply to a comment on another KZbinr’s video. He said the track is no joke, he’s “raced the Mountain on a few video games” I replied “until you have driven up pit straight, traversed the esses and round Forrest elbow onto conrod, you have no idea what it takes to wrestle a car on this track at 60km/h”. Then keeping in mind they average 160-165km/h! That’s the average! Do that for over 150 times and you realise that they’re not only race car drivers, they’re magicians!

[@JB-vd8bi]

@@Aaron_Hanson and the weather! I don't recall the video games having anything like the weather variations you get in that region and on the mountain

[@woopimagpie]

A few years back I took my ex hillclimb/time trial car (a very modified Holden Gemini) around Mt Panorama. That was a well sorted and very stable club motorsport car that had been de-tuned and made a little more road friendly, and coming down through the esses going 60km/h felt like I was going too fast. It was well within the adhesion capability of the car, but as a driver I was acutely aware of how close those walls are and just how tight it really is. I did three laps and that was enough. I'm not totally inexperienced either, I did many laps around Amaroo, a good few around the Oran Park short circuit, some around Catalina (scary track), and even some laps around Eastern Creek in it's very early days so I had some idea how to drive a car fast on a circuit. But Bathurst is something else entirely. When you consider how fast the modern Supercars and GT3 cars go across the top and down to the elbow it's almost inconceivable. You really do have to drive it to know. Back in the early 70s when they ran production cars flat out it must have been utterly mad. I've owned a couple of old Fords (2 different XPs and an XT), the thought of pushing one of those cars flat out around Bathurst for half a day is roughly akin to a death wish. If I did five laps without crashing or breaking the car it would be a miracle. That track is completely bonkers. The drivers must have had a screw loose to try that back in those days, it's beyond brave what they did.

[@lezbarker2673]

Cool my first Bathurst memory as a child was the channel 9 car rolling. I remember that and I think I was about 3-4 years old. Loving this ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Slackboy72]

Denny Hulme at 10:11 was due to him having a heart attack IIRC. He died later in hospital.

[@elmonteslim3711]

What an Aussie legend was Moffat....we never know we have them till they were gone.

Safety back in the day was pretty much “don’t crash”

[@hedonismunderstands2469]

still always policy no. 1..!

[@bretloyd8097]

"Throttle goes both ways" was motorsport administration's version of safety. . .

[@raptor6600gt]

[@evolveausevolveaus]

Ahhh those were the days. rest in peace (while your wheels are smokin) peter perfect

[@lezbarker2673]

Gotta love those old real racing cars. My Pop told me you win on Sunday sell on Monday as the cars were literally stock. Great cars it’s why I drive a Valiant 1965 AP6 made in Australia 🇦🇺 like me.

[@barryrudge1576]

Even back in the 1960's I'm amazed that the Australian racing authorities allowed cars to compete without the most rudimentary roll over cage. Se the Viva HA model at 2.17 mins. One roll and the roof collapsed I was surprised to see the driver emerge with just slight bruising

[@MrMiD.Life.Crisis]

What years was it in Nascar when they ran with 'fake' roll cages - made out of wood or other weight saving materials? Also seeing the first group b Lancia rally cars (was it the 037) roll over and fold like a piece of paper was shocking - that was the early 1980s I think - so I bet in the 60s, they would probably say 'anything goes'. Performance always trumped safety. Can you think of any more? Hope you're good :)

[@partybiscuit]

5 deaths a year back in the 50's when my dad was racing. That when the cars first drifted

[@davidcarpenter9232]

Just found you ... Love it ... Well Done 👍👍👍 Dave ...

[@RolandElliottFirstG]

Good old Bathurst, nothing like aussie racing.

[@ricky107_]

The classic crashes segment was funny

[@BlairSauer]

That bill brown crash at the top of the mountain is still talked about today. Rest in peace Bill Brown, who passed away a few months ago.

[@rods6405]

24:03 "Sting later wrote a song about it" Classic Mulray!

That last one is a very good example of how NOT to attack The Chase...

[@markmuldoon805]

Uncle Doug was brilliant as a commentator. Should have been a regular. He and Evan Green would have made a fantastic team.

[@InZomnia365]

man, these old cars crumpled like tin cans. "Viva la safetybelt" says the commentator as the entire roof collapses under the weight of the car :P

[@cgt527]

Yer the Seatbelt did nothing else then stopping them from launching from a car that folded up like paper. A pure dice roll there . Also Don't smoke around crashes please :D

Roof was for keeping the rain out or for sitting on while watching the races.

Old school safety... if any of the rescuers are smoking could they kindly leave.

[@aus80srockradio94]

Quiet a few "ouch" moments...

[@cheetor5923]

The safety of the cars has come a really long way, even in the 60's and the 70's the cars were lightyears safer than they were... and now in the 2020's They're even better... Foam fuel bladders that don't burst into flames, rollcages that can withstand Condod straight right into the wall. I'm still alive to this day probably from lessons learned in these eras. When I was a young lil shit my mum spent huge money on getting me a helmet that wasn't Australian/NewZealand Standard. But FIA F1 certified. I crashed of course. and that helmet looked like a distorted nightmare. It was all crumpled and warped. I still got some brain damage, but it was VERY minor. God bless mums who buy motorcycle gear for their stupid kids!.

[@steveaustin4600]

ah backin the good old days when a racing suit was a pair of trackies thongs and a t shirt

Very well done video, the original cars of the sixties and seventies were the real drivers it was all skill back then in little more than street cars not the formula one cars of today with a body shell.

very true, back then it was a "race on sunday , sell on monday" mentality

[@MichaelsMustang]

@@roadwolf2 It is a long time since I have heard that people agree black is blue that never happened !

Skylines were AWD Turbos… they dominated for obvious reasons.

[@benconway9010]

Makes me laugh...the car rolling down the hill at 4:42 and it's all caught on camera but yet there just happens to be a camera very conveniently at the bottom and more or less in line with the car coming down the hill

[@Aaron_Hanson]

Cameraman was just taking a piss among the gumtrees 😂

[@bradleyjohnevans]

loved it thanks mate

[@DanielFrost79]

In those early crashes it's a wonder any of them survived considering safety was not a priority. I remember many older races with a bitter taste in the back of my throat. Many of which were not so lucky.

[@darren2514fv]

The Alan Jones/Ross Stone Pack Leader team is actually historically linked to the current Mercedes V8SC team

[@RunningOn7CylindersYT]

It's the equivalent of how F1 teams are sometimes passed around new owners. From Pack Leader to Stone Brothers to now Erebus

[@Dani-it5sy]

5:02 How on mother earth do you survive that? That might be the closest thing I have seen to a miracle ever. There literally must have been an angel in that car and I don't even believe in angels 🧐

How good were the 80s? Camaro's, commodores, rx7s, falcons, AE86 corolla's, BMW M3's, Nissan Bluebirds, Gloria's and Skyline's, Jaguars, Cosworths. I much preferred Touring cars over the V8 Holden vs Ford era that followed them. All because a couple of bogans didn't like the iconic Godzilla dominating the local product. Long live the R32 gtr.
