Good ol' Uncle Doug Mullray. When he left radio, there was nothing more worth listening to, and he was an entertaining addition to the V8s commentary. What a time that was in Australian Motorsport. Brocky still at it, DJ still the big rival, Perkins and Longhurst the fast terriers hunting down the leaders. I really loved it back then. Has lost something compared to back then.

Lowndes himself will tell you that he was a good three seconds a lap slower before Brocky sat him down and told him where he could make up time. After their first chat Criag was 1.5 seconds quicker in the next session. I take your point that Craig could certainly drive before he met Brock but there is no doubting that without his tuition we may not know Craig Lowndes as a household name today.

Saw an interview with Craig maybe a year after Brock had gone and he explained the help Peter had passed on to him! Lowndes was Brocks apprentice, no doubt about that!

I think the 2L class was already pushed out to their category by this year. They started up the Australian Manufacturers Championship in 1994 which became the Australian Super Touring Championship in 1995. I'm not sure which was the last year of the ARDC Bathurst 1000 when the 2L class was invited, until (obviously) 1997 when the ARDC and V8 Supercars had a disagreement and the 2L class took over the entire Bathurst 1000 (with V8 Supercars running a second Bathurst 1000). Edit -- It seems that the 1995 and 1996 Bathurst 1000s were exclusively for Group 3A 5L cars, and the Super Tourers were not permitted to enter.

Been a Lowndes fan ever since this race, followed him to Ford, back to Holden, wouldn’t matter what he drove. No one can stalk the leader for 40 laps like Craig can, if he wasn’t pushing Reynolds for a good 30 laps, Reynolds would have cruised to victory. How good was it but watching Lowndes do the last lap on his own out in front. Pure gold. I am looking forward to seeing him and Whincup reunite next year. I reckon he can get to 10 wins.

Imagine if a backmarker shown the blue flag cost an F1 driver a win? They would just about be banned for a race. Seems like bullshit to me, Lowndes could and should have been the youngest winner in that race, and have retired with an extra notch on his belt as of last week. Btw I still remember watching this race live and couldn't believe that move by Lowndes.
