Right choice for this circuit as it's driven counter clockwise :)

dsl SXGood work. Found 2 more buried amongst our Galaxies. 2015-12-20 22:03
nzcarnerd NZI did a small amount of digging on this subject and found this - Link to "www.fordmuscleforums.com" - . To quote the relevant part " Most of you would know that before 1965, to get a Galaxie in Australia you had to import one in yourself from the US. From 1965, Ford did assemble Galaxies in Sydney for the local market from knock down kits sourced from Ford's Canadian arm. They came in a choice of 289 or 390, but only the 4 x door sedan was available. Less than 5000 were ever assembled between 1965 and 1972. A small number of Galaxies were converted into Ambulances in the '60s..."

So I guess this one is model origin - Canada, built Australia.

Covers 1963 to 1997 only according to commentary - frustratingly difficult to work out which races/drivers/cars in many cases as commentary/captions often unhelpful - it's just lots of clips squeezed together without overall editing; also lots of repetition as clips/cars crop up again in different segments. But wiki - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathurst_1000 - has huge race-by-race detail info, so most details eventually found.

But it's a great way to spend 45 minutes watching some very exciting and gripping footage, and you get a real sense of why Bathurst is so important for motor-racing in Aus, and of some of the epic races and drives which have happened. And it looks an amazing racetrack.

Have replaced some pictures on like-for-like - my copy probably much the same quality as marioman's first go, but some of the later colour footage seems better on mine; a few new entries added, plus timings, ID info, lots of comments pictures etc. Most of marioman's thumbs have disappeared, so not apparent now what they were.

1983 - "Dick Johnson crashed in Hardies Heroes destroying his Greens-Tuf Falcon. In a show of goodwill no other teams in the race objected to the replacement #17 car starting the race from 10th position." says wiki. But he retired after 61 laps anyway - co-driver in race was Kevin "Camaro smasher" Bartlett.

Bits of this sequence repeated several times during film.
2015-12-20 18:10
dsl SXAgreed, Brock in 1985, Holden VK Commodore. Another sequence in pits at 39-50 - he's lost the windscreen, so gets blackflagged into pits to get rear screen removed as well under the rules
[Image: 39-40brock85.jpg]

.... which means I'm now confused about which race this Brock #05 Holden comes from

dsl SXThis is 1997 race as the Laguna spins behind. Looks like #12 numbering = Nigel Barclay private entry, Nigel Barclay/Blair Smith/Jim Cornish, listed as BMW 318i. Retired early - apparently before the Laguna.

2015-12-20 16:17
dsl SXMain could be 1988 race, #57 Mobil 1 Racing team, David Parsons/Jim Richards, BMW M3.

Or 1989 race, #57 Sax Racing entry from NZ, Craig Turner/Kent Baigent/Lou Vandermeer, BMW M3

A Starion goes past just before the capture, and there were Starions in both races, plus we're told the M3 was running 3rd in class. My guess from livery without obvious Mobil logos this is 89 race, but as a private team car could be older.

1992 race - commentary describes Peter Brock incidents in #05 - #16 Holden (the collision) driven by Allan Grice, then #18 Sierra spin by Greg Crick (no contact)
2015-12-20 15:00
dsl SXConfusing presentation in film of Brock's incidents in 85 and 86 in white Mobil logo'd Holdens #05, which make it difficult to be sure which sequences belong to which year, plus there are repeated excerpts which may mix years. However am reasonably sure main and this batch are all 86, which was dry.
