Last time I watched the Bathurst 1000 was with legends like Peter Brock (King of the Mountain) and Craig Lowdnes in cars like the Ford Falcon V8 that the main public used, such good times then.

The name sounds very cool...Don't know much before about it but seems cool!

Jamie Whincup deserves a mention also.
If the OP don't mind I'll place this vid of some of previous Bathurst 1000 strange moments.

Peter Brock’s main adversary was Allan Moffat who drove for Ford.

I was, and still am, a huge fan of Moff. He’s unfortunately not very well, suffering with dimensia.

Qualifying is on now!

Getting dementia is terrible, making you forget things. I see the Sierra Cosworth model of that what he drove, those cars especially the RS500 were going for silly money a few years ago and prices have stabilised and come down some now.

The race is just about to start.

Davil · 02-01-2025, 08:28 PM

BMW 1 & 2 with 5h18m to go. My fave Gulf Vantage hanging in 9th which is pretty impressive for a non factory previous spec car.

Davil · Yesterday, 12:45 AM

Final hour. Looks like the black BMW (32) will take it. But anything can happen. Only 26 seconds covering the top 6.

Davil · Yesterday, 01:27 AM

Blimey. Magnificent move by Marciello! What a move by the white BMW (car 46). Looking like a BMW 1, 2 now. Still 18 minutes left though.

Davil · Yesterday, 01:36 AM

Hang on. This Merc in P2 is supposed to run out of fuel. But he isn’t. This will wreck the 1, 2.

Davil · Yesterday, 01:40 AM

Merc finally pitted with 6 minutes to go.

BMW 1, 2 close to a sure thing.

Davil · Yesterday, 01:52 AM

BMW 1, 2.
Superb effort.

Davil · Yesterday, 01:58 AM

Boom.

A final photo to mark the occasion. Great looking cars.
