Peter Brock "On it" at Bathurst (Tooheys 1000 Top 10 Shootout 1991) Rare HQ

This is one of my favorite KZbin videos but they are all low quality. I managed to get hold of the original VHS and here it is in the best quality I can get. Awesome 'on the limit' driving from Peter Brock in the 1991 Tooheys 1000 Top 10 Shootout.

[@alanmac8807]

Shivers down the back of my spine watching that, R.I.P you'll always be the king of the mountain.

[@adammaxwell5851]

It's hard not to get a wee bit emotional watching the genius at work, pure talent.

[@SilentHotdog28]

@@adammaxwell5851 I get emotional, although I didn't see much of him, my older brother did and loves Peter Brock, he told me stories about Peter Brock and how good he was, some of his accomplishments and even the way he passed. He was the best of his time.

[@sexysammij1]

It's does doesn't it, just makes the hairs stand as you watch him throw her around. I was 8 years old when I watched this on the tele. My mum thought I was going bonkers

[@steebie_c]

Such fond memories of growing up in Bathurst, seeing this guy drive on my Mountain... and the privelege to be in his pit crew back in 1989. R.I.P. to the Legend.

[@Mike-me3sp]

What did you do in the pit crew?

[@kevintaylor7660]

I don't care what time he did on that lap, but it's one of the most exciting laps of Bathurst that you'll ever see.

[@argiebargie1338]

Commenting over a year late to this but you're 100% correct.... lap times are irrelevant here... this is motorsport at its most exciting!!

[@KenOath1234]

absolutely he was ringing that things neck - you have to really know that place to do that and get away with it!!! I still think it's one of the best laps Ive seen around Bathurst even if it wasn't the quickest!

[@bradford_shaun_murray]

2:25 🕺

[@jaidenverrall5534]

Man the dance over the top of the mountain is absolutely awesome inspiring. Just magical how he can control the car so well

[@justinlangley9522]

Bathurst was an extension to this man ! Best driver around the mountain bar none . The dude handled a drift around that corner with just the right wheel as the left one was off the ground and controlled it like it was nothing . Absolute madness!

[@w_stanky]

Man the 90’s cars were raw… Running rich, flames, backfires, loud As F… The handling wasn’t quite there either, I forgot how lively they were at speed compared to todays V8 Supercars. That was insane through the chase! Great video!

[@change_your_oil_regularly4287]

90s & very early 00s were by far the best imo I'd take LP's 1993 VP over any of the modern cars without hesitation.

[@markshaggy7914]

I am 40 years old & only in the last few years have watched & appreciated motorsports. This is amazing. R.I.P to a true legend.

[@Moloko_Synthemesc]

There's been so many good drivers who have battled this mountain over the years, but this is one of those tracks that just has an almost spritual effect on people. The TV footage really doesn't do it justice, it is just unbelievable how fast these guys are around there, and how little room there is for error on most of the track. If you ever go to Mount Panorama and see the track for yourself it just blows you away. But the good thing about a track like this is it hasn't really changed at all in it's history (the turns at the end of Conrod straight are a modern addition from the earlier version), and because there is a lot of footage of races we can easily compare different generations of racecars. But whether it's old laps of Brocky in an boat of a Commodore at 11/10ths, or Murphy or McLaughlin in more modern cars but still wringing the thing's neck, they're all just as good to watch and leave you just shaking your head. And that's just one track 😆

[@QuinnDewsbury]

Nobody else in the world would have been faster in that car. Legend.

[@PhsykoOmen]

That car was flying, its insane how he kept that under control so well. True legend.

[@Alex462047]

Those two little sideways moments tell you exactly how hard Brockie was pushing. That was spectacular.

[@darrylcampbell4411]

WOW. Thats hands down one of the best if not THE best top 10 lap shoot out Ive ever seen. That was kick ass on the edge driving. The man is truly a Legend. As is Holden.

[@stephenbell-booth2648]

One of the most exciting laps of Bathurst ever. It still manages to give me shock-horror over the top of the mountain sequence. I met Peter at the Auckland airport; we were on the same flight to Wellington where he raced the Wellington Street Race. Thoroughly interesting and warm human being, it was no trouble to stop and share a little about motor racing.

[@frayedsanity]

[@NickoOutBush]

How the rubber laid down out of the elbow…! Loved watching Brock “ having a red hot go !”

[@coldark9972]

There were only two that could drive this lap this way Brocky and dick Johnson we were very blessed to have these two lads

[@richardwells9109]

Was there for the race, on top of the mountain that year, the sound of 8000rpm Holden motors, which is I will never forget, and in the end the only car faster to the chequered flag was the gtr nissan.

[@joshuacameron2594]

I have that same model and it is now quicker. The 1992 VP Commodore, HSV GTS sits in my garage with my Rottweiler.

[@andrewphillips4897]

Joe Shabidu, mine is a VP 1992. The one racing above is a VN SS. The model was called the SS5000 I think. I had a VN SS 5000 as a work vehicle. My NV was stock. The VN V6 came out in 1988 and the V8 came out in 1990. I have owned a lot of Holdens. The one that I love the most was my 1985 VK Calais Director - Fully work and stroked into a 5700. My wife took it shopping and some low life stole from the Macquarie Shopping Centre at Ryde (now Called Macquarie).

Thanks for the upload! I've watched this lap so many times over the years, I love it. Pro-tip: The KZbin compression algorithm absolutely destroys any uploaded video lower than 1440p resolution. For future uploads, even if the original content is lower resolution, upscale it in Adobe Premiere Pro to 1440p (minimum), upload that version and the final result will be much nicer.

You would really have to search for video of a lap as perceivably crazy and on the limit the whole time as this.

I was there on the Mountain that year. It sounded awesome pushing it hard across the top. Shame in the Race the car had electrical issues when he got back in after fixing it in the pits Brock was really pushing it then.

[@tokyodavecar38]

Epic driving by Brocky'. Bathurst, my favourite race bar none. To see the Aussies hustle these big cars up to 180mph is special. I think the V8 Supercar drivers are massively underrated, it's the best racing on the telly.

[@MaxxUK]

Dave, yes, they are awesome beasts. I've been fortunate enough to spend 100s of hours driving something similar, a more modern day Holden Commodore race car. They are the Middle-East variety, not as advanced as the modern Aussie cars but all the better for it. I do High Speed passenger rides for a company called The Racing School and we use them for that. There is also lots of videos on my channel from the Middle-East Championship.

[@potterj09]

He's literally stopping himself from drifting through some of these corners to not get d/q. Would've been a great Fast n Furious character. I used to sell newspapers on 1000 weekends at that track :)

The fact he needs to use the steering wheel on straights reflects how exciting this era was, it's so stale now.

[@justinlangley9522]

The R32's were the superior machines. Lighter ,lower better in every way . Yet brocky was able to keep up with them in a big boat... the dude was using his vast knowledge of the track and incredible driving skill to offset the huge difference the vehicles were.

[@connorforbes2496]

It looks like he couldn’t tell you what he just did, he’s not just focusing he’s zoning out.

[@Mirrorgirl492]

[@ivanfisher9301]

great footage , I was fan of Brock since the L34 days , I think this shows Peak Brock , sadly not long after this his pace started to fall away which is only to be expected as one ages and reflexes slow . By the time the VR/VS days arrived he was still quick but didnt take the risks . I just wish once retired he stayed that way. The VX comeback was embarrassing . But he was a huge part of aussie motorsport . I loved touring car racing for years but havent followed for the last 5 or so years , maybe its because I have grown older too but the current series is a joke . Too bad ......
