Touring Car Masters - Race 1 - Adelaide 500 - 2020

Adelaide Superloop 500, South Australia, 2020. Friday 21st of February.
Perhaps the most popular feature race category at the Adelaide 500, 'TCM' sees former fan favourites from the Supercars series jump behind the wheel of favourite Aussie Muscle cars like Ford GTs, BOSS Mustangs, Chevie Camaros, Chrysler Chargers, Holden Monaros and Toranas and Porsche 911s. These big machines are the V8s of yesteryear, driven by the gurus of yesteryear. See names like John Bowe, Steven Richards and Steve Johnson among others running these legendary vehicles at the Superloop Adelaide 500.

The best motorsport i have ever seen! when these beautiful cars were new the cameras couldn't give us these amazing shots. Australian commentators are also really nice.

[@blze0018]

It hurts seeing these old beauties getting mangled up, but I love seeing them driven in anger.

[@williamking8684]

these are reproductions so no authentic steel

[@hotrodmercury3941]

no worries, all reproduction bodies for sure!

[@nahnothnx4608]

Thank the lord they’re repro bodies

[@TheHighRoad1748]

@@williamking8684 and besides, even if they were real bodies, it would take a lot more than just running into someone's rear bumper to make one of those fenders come loose... That's how tough those classics were built.

[@stratcat3216]

I'm pretty sure they are fiberglass repro's

[@torqueconverter5594]

Who else prefers this over the v8 supercars?

[@prolosertheatomistic8101]

Both are great. V8 Supercars are so much faster and provide more intense action, but now that there's no Aussie Falcon vs Commodore battles it's less interesting from the cars perspective. This here is a little slower paced but the classic cars make up for it. Great fun watching the classics battle it out.

[@Beaconhilldrift]

they are racing hard

[@johnsheetz6639]

They look like old Trans-Am cars I love it

[@kenc3288]

Give me the old muscle cars anytime over those generic soupcars.

I love the agressive driving seen in this series, unlike any other classic/vintage car racing I've seen

[@daveshaw9344]

Wow, real racing with real cars Love it! Thanks for upload

[@sasquatchfoote8235]

Hey "supercars", THIS is what people WANT to see. REAL cars, REAL racing. BLOODY BRILLIANT

[@simonknowles4267]

Here here..

[@unknownunwanted1445]

Safety laps is real racing ...? Old TCM are good... I'll agree to that, but not these new(er) ones. Too much safety.

@Mr Awesome cars for sale in Aussie

[@davidcroft9320]

@Mr Awesome like commodore and falcon - they don`t exist at least ford went to the trouble of producing a car that is still available in Au

[@Nick-dd2xg]

Im really glad I just spent 20 minutes of my life to watch 5 minutes of racing.

[@8iker]

That looks like a fun race. Awesome cars making all the right noises.

[@robinswenson9045]

Love seeing old school muscle cars on the track again that brings back great memories

[@bliglum]

Best racing in the world coming from down under! SUPER Trucks are awesome fun too! Hat's off guys, good show!

[@danpoole7933]

JB for what it's worth you are up there with the best. Everyone makes mistakes owning them makes you an absolute legend. Keep racing.

[@johntooth9294]

Put JB in go karts..Always got to wreck someone..

I would love to see this in the USA. The cars look great! Thank you for sharing.

I enjoyed that! Greetings from England!

Thanks again this is a great channel

[@mcjams66]

Love these races. The diversity, rawness. Also loved watching two Camaro's take each other out.

[@nbkawtgnobody]

Them Fightin words boy! 😂 😂 😂

[@kaputmonkey]

I love these cars! Exciting to watch and fast as shit through the turns...

[@anthonyarmstrong5012]

Good shit! First few minutes in I wanted to change it... then they all run for that hole shot 😂😂😂

[@socwyvern9745]

This seems like something that would be more popular in America. Damn Australians are badass.

[@Hot80s]

The Valiant.

[@meldowning9800]

Right then...we're just outside the top 3... but we can make it up in the first corner.....

[@Panthercholo]

Tilley's Valiant is the biz!

[@shedwork]

Stupid by Bowe. "You can't win a race on Lap 1". No more truer words spoken.

[@plebtile3347]

But you can jump three cars and then win the race after that.

[@alva8818]

A beleza e robustez dessas máquinas V8 na pista em alta velocidade é Sensacional !!!🤘

Id be happy with any but that Ford Fairlane did look nice...

Couple guys went all Wreckfest at turn 1. Commendable 'til the wrecker comes out to you!

[@lesthegreat]

All my favorites in one race, FARK

[@paulnorth9107]

Let's see these guys on tv not the 'supercars'

[@BlitzMekanika]

These are Supercars, and proper cars. More of a Stock Car than a NASCAR. Would love to see these race in the states.

[@BlueflagAlpha]

Bowe went for the gap that doesnt exist

[@Streetw1s3r]

Ahh, the good ol' days pre-covid... Feels like forever ago.

[@coldark9972]

The first clean up was a Benny Hill rendition

[@danfarris135]

Almost like a time machine.

[@catjudo1]

I've been a huge motorsports fan for over 40 years, but I don't think of auto racing when I hear something like "White Line Racing"! Makes me get the sniffles... 😵😵

[@thefunkosaurus]

Helluva drug.

[@ex35240sx]

What is this and why am i just seeing this badassery for the first time

[@dagmastr12]

Guy is a good sportsman

[@blkpig6664]

Brill'!

[@danboren6567]

Bowe should get a penalty to start from the pit lane at the next race.

[@nolanmiller9379]

I like them mustangs, is it possible that you can enter one but right hand drive?

[@Pablo668]

Good on JB for owning up to that one. Quite like the bloke tbh.

[@Viewtiful_Caius]

Mad respect to him, its all too common in racing that you see people blaming each other before themselves.

[@bradgotch]

All the right ingredients for real classic car enthusiasts racing yet Australian corporate manage to turn this into another V8 supercar clone. The cars are the stars not the sponsors or the bloody commentators.

[@JosephStalin9252]

Simeon o would you prefer it if there were no sponsors involved?

[@bradgotch]

Joseph Stalin in a perfect world yes. I understand the necessity of sponsorship to fund teams but the balance is off. An example that I think is relevant being KZbin it has enabled car enthusiasts to show case their passion without all the fluff that mainstream media thinks makes viewing more pleasurable. I would much prefer watching amateur racing without over the top commentary and the lack of focus on what is in my opinion the beauty of classic motor sport or motor sport in general. My opinion I understand In the minority with my vision.

[@terrydover408]

OK, watch group N then, but it won't take you long to realise how boring it is compared to TCM.

[@bradgotch]

terry dover ok agree to disagree thank you.

[@balzonyr4head]

I wish they ran cars like these in the US

[@roddas26]

That first corner crash was all "JB's" fault. Don't understand why he gets a free pass for that kind of driving? I get he's a legend, but that was rough. It isn't stockcars is it?

[@sandwichman100]

be good if when listing the drivers and start positions if they said what cars they were driving

[@johnlum3892]

So much for boring v8 supercars,this is where the action is. John Bowe is a well accomplished driver in a fiercely fought category and not forgetting that he is one of the poineers of TCM.

[@AL-nt3zy]

A well accomplished driver should know better than down the dirty side of the track on the first corner of lap 1. Wrecked it for others. And gets praised by the commentators because he admitted it. Go pay for their damage. He is only a pioneer and has a heap of wins because he took a highly funded car to what was an amateur series.

[@oldmansolo572]

Loving this from Vancouver, Canada!!! My Favourite is the Pacer Valiant Cam Tilley drives, is he still using that twin cam Six?

[@DocVMX]

Cam Tilley Pacer is now Mopar V8.

[@oldmansolo572]

Thanks!!!

[@JayGuitars1]

Gregory Parker no mate,W2 headed smallblock. And the six was a single ohv engine.

[@fabiendemolitio1168]

What car champion in 2019

[@73TimmyG]

Wheres the Falcon XB?

[@freibierfelix]

Where do they get spare parts from? I think not all the cars have new parts

[@kawakalypse2770]

Very optimistic from #18

[@secretRBRman]

i really hope aussie cars get more love for more aftermarket support now.

[@adamwainwright9658]

Is it a VB or VC commodore?

[@twentyfourseven7988]

That's the sort of sxxt Brocky was doing before his demise, WARNING!!!!

[@ColtraneWasGod]

I love the coverage otherwise, but hate that these Oz broadcasts just list the drivers and their team names when going through the grid. I really would like to know the makes of these cars in at least some of the races.

[@mjayalpha9206]

I bet Vin Diesel was having corona beer and watching this😂😂🤣

[@DougHanchard]

The restart was horrific !!!!!!!!!!!! Race Control wants that kind of start ? ? ? ? Good lord, that's crap anywhere else!

[@stratcat3216]

No ABS, no Traction Control ... lots of horses :) What could be better?

Powersteering on a race car? Girls!!

rob punted cam on that turn at 7:38

[@andrewphillips4897]

All the experts can not see that John Bowes was in front. The Torana just went into side of JB.The red Mustang just kept going. I expected better driving from all of them.

[@ldnwholesale8552]

Rusty is 100% right. Though Bowe has been a loose cannon for decades. Drivers standard? Tell him to load and leave! Power steering? For 10 lap races. Simply girls!!

[@dinosshed]

Bowe is a great driver, everyone makes mistakes in Motorsport.

[@trdadam2325]

What kinds of speeds these guys hitting?

[@BlitzMekanika]

About 280km/h flat out.

[@MaliciousSRT]

Are these cars real or fiberglass bodies on tube chassis?

[@darkchild130]

As far as I know they're "real" cars but complete reproductions. Nothing original on them.

[@MaliciousSRT]

@@darkchild130 Ahhh, dynacorn bodies. Makes perfect sense too as those don't come with a VIN making them hard to put on the street but they'd make perfect race cars.

[@tbone0303]

In a 10 lap race is more than half are being run under safety. Just reset grid and restart race with remaining cars.

[@brandonhightower5666]

Australia knows how to race.

[@nathanzylla4961]

All that pure unadulterated horsepower......hmmmmmm medicinal

[@gosportjamie]

That Torana doesn't like the tight line. Wrong place at the wrong time, just not the grip to make a decent fist of it...

[@waddney4121]

it takes a big man to admit when he's wrong I am not a big man

[@joellajuett1060]

When you cant drive, just over drive the 1st corner and dont worry bout anyone else.

[@leongt1954]

A rare brain fade by JB

[@metal4lifetime]

Nice crash compilation 🤣🤣

[@roddygogo7772]

Owned it...silly mistake but at least you copped the whack JB.

[@KnightDriveTV]

That first start looked like something out of the C class DR room in GTSport...amateur hour up the inside on T1 and ruining everyones race. Guy should be penalized for races ahead for that bs. Great track crew leaving gravel everywhere to get embedded in the tires.

[@CommodoreFloopjack78]

Aussie motorsports rule. Touring cars, V8 Supercars, Stadium trucks, Super utes... All GREAT stuff! I am so sick and tired of NASCAR it's ridiculous. I used to love American stock car racing, but over the years, the powers that be have irreparably ruined it for everyone.

[@NathanChisholm041]

The rules that have now been implemented into NASCAR has made it just about un-watchable...

[@windwhipped5]

Man took out the Gen 2 camaro..dammit..

[@nickbenfell4327]

Go the Pacer

[@mickbrenton]

I hope JB paid for the smash repairs! He's too experienced for that incident to occur! There was no way on this earth he was ever gonna make the cut inside!!!

[@Photosynthesisbeing]

such an experienced driver just plows into the first corner like a 16 yo

[@NathanChisholm041]

Ford Chevy or GM?

[@wooloongabba]

John " Torpedo " Bowe

[@Panthercholo]

It's a shame there's so much carnage.

[@ldnwholesale8552]

Just more brain fade from Bowe, he has done it for decades. Even in open wheelers

[@colinmunro7337]

When you just turn up and drive it seems like zero fucks given

[@adventureswithmercenaryfamily]

Why are they only 8 laps. Seems kinda pointless.

[@JuergenGDB]

Seeing these cars getting smashed up... just rubs me the wrong way.. .LOL

[@darkchild130]

Don't worry they're all reproductions

[@arthurneddysmith]

2:15 No. 18, the black and white car, could not have made that corner at that speed if there had been no cars on the track. WTF was he thinking? Edit: He apologises at 10:48. Good for him. I'm sure the other drivers appreciate it.
