1982 Bathurst 1000 - The First Two Laps
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Aside from Dick Johnson’s victory in 1981, Peter Brock and the Holden Dealer Team had owned the Bathurst 1000 since 1978. In 1982, however, Allan Grice and Alan Browne’s Re-Car team really took the fight to Brock. Grice snared pole position, and recorded the first ever 100-mph lap of Mount Panorama. The first two laps were intense, with Grice and Brock swapping the lead several times, and gapping the rest of the pack. Some of the action was caught on early in-car camera footage inside the HDT Commodore.
Just got more adrenaline watching these 2 laps than in the last 2 decades of any motorsport.
👏 yep.
touring cars, not everything-has-to-be-identical modern crap.
I agree
You clearly haven't watched much motorsport these past 2 decades then.
There will never be racing like this again. Glad I grew up with it. Lost my interest in V8 Supercars now we have no Aussie made saloons. RIP great Aussie racing.
same here , used to live near Sandown as a kid, grew up in the A9X era , loved the racing but havent followed it for about 10 yrs now. Real shame
I started watching it every year since 1995, Now i don't even know half the drivers nor do i even care. Sad times mate
me too
Same, I’m so glad I was privileged enough to watch Brock vs Johnson, Allen Grice, Moffat etc. I used to love the “Chickadee chicken” Commodore and of course that old favourite the Everlast VL Commodore. I used to love you built your car you raced your car. These days it’s control tyres, control this control that.
Agreed mate. Once it stopped being Ford V Holden it has lost so much. The drivers are boring a couple of good ones. Mostert Waters are good but no one is tuning in to see anton race feeney. They have a few years to build an exciting category or its going to fade away pretty quick.
The golden years of motor sport in Australia. The 70s and early 80s were just amazing.
Afraid i missed the golden age of our sport. Watching the Falcons race the toranas then the commadores would have been great. I caught the end of the 80's the Brock legend was all but over. Did you get to any races. My first Bathurst was 2004 it was pretty crazy on the mountain after on saturday night. Made me think what it was like in the 90's let alone the 70's and 80's.
@@paulholmes8398 Only been the cars once in person but went to watch the bikes more often. Always made a day of it watching Bathurst on TV. I never bother with it these days.
The golden years for everything when everything made sense.
@@gone547 I agree mate. We never could have imagined how it all turned out. Inch by inch crazy took over.
Back when motor racing was actually entertaining.
I agree. Like rugby league and Australian rules football, it was a good sport in 1982. Now they are all just commercial products.
how to say "I'm a boomer" without saying those 3 words.
...and attending Bathurst back then was actually fun, until the political correctness made its way in. It used to be a hell of great weekend on the mountain
I watched Bathurst every year with my dad until he passed in 2014.
The 80s and early 90s were an incredible time for group a racing.
Brick, Perkins, Johnson and Moffat were just breathtaking to watch.
It is a core memory of my childhood.
Nah, the Brick was Johnson, wasn't it?😜
@@mikespearwood3914 haha, autocorrect strikes again, appreciate you bro!
@@mikespearwood3914 Nah...the real Brick was the one that filled the first nine places in 1966.
Good onya, Mate ...and good on your Dad.
You and me both mate. Dad was a Holden mechanic and we loved watching Bathurst every year. I was 14 at the time of this race and still remember it. In my late 20s, I did some motorsport photography and got to know some of the drivers a bit. Brocky was always our hero and in my handful of conversations with him, he was always gracious. One night around 9pm at Bathurst, I was walking to my car in the carpark near the media room after processing my images. There was noone else around but I could hear footsteps behind me. I looked around, and there was Peter Brock, walking towards me, hand outstretched. He shook my hand and thanked me for my efforts. We talked for a bit and I got into the car and drove back to Sydney, a silly smile on my face all the way. That was the last time I met the man and I'll never forget it.
We lost my dad last year and I miss the old fella every day. Watching these clips gives me goosebumps and some very happy memories. As you say - a core memory of our childhoods. Cheers - Dave
The commentary is spectacular. And as a young 10 year old back in the day bathurst was just huge.
Interesting how the view from in-car camera more than 40yrs ago, is better than it is today.
Australia led the world in this field at the time. Still punching above its weight in racing car mods.
@@edwardhewer8530 Australia invented it.
Far better to watch today than any other racing. Basic technology by comparison.Amazing drivers
This is one of the best Bathurst there ever was. The commodore, falcon, Rx-7 and the camaro, turbo bluebird and all the other classes of REAL cars.
Todays racing is more luck than driver or car. The cars are “evened out” and multiple pace car interventions ensure the fields close up every few laps. I love this older racing. I was early teens when i fell in love with watching Bathurst in the late 70s. Also a great mix of car makes back in these days.
Pity it's a dead duck now. Clone drivers and cars.
Best sports coverage in the world at this stage. Ch7 congratulations
The perfect long running era of race on Sunday, In the show room on Monday. Todays racing is nothing like it.
On lap two, the deive that Grice got out of turn two to beat Brock to the Cutting was extraordinary. To do that against the economic and engineering might of HDT is so impressive.
Grice was no mug. As a privateer with way less budget his cars were generally quicker than the HDT's, and yeah, that was one of the best moves ever on the mountain.
The wheelspin over the the last crest of conrod before braking! 😳🍻
"as long as the paper-works clean, You boys can do what you want out there!!!"...this is Racing!
These were the days , so much better than the crap we watch today , we were so lucky to be around when the cars were more like a car you could buy from the showroom great video.
I was at Bathurst 1979-83 - 1982 was a special year. Great memories. How privileged were we.
That was an awesome trip down memory lane, grew up as a child in that era and watched many of these JH 1000 races live. Thanks for the video.
Wow so good. Brings back memories watching Bathurst in NZ when i was a kid. You can really see them fighting car control on those days.
Those really were the days, so much better than the same cars with different badges that they try to kid us is racing today.
This was the heyday
That was brilliant, play it again Sam
I could be wrong, but as I recall this was the first Bathurst race that we saw in full on New Zealand tv , if it was before that I'm sure I would have noticed.
a can't get enough of this channel its great love the cars and history thanks dude 😊

@@barrycuda3769 I think it was the first race shown in NZ tv as I would have remembered the 81 race not going the distance. I was glued to the TV. The best part was ads were not allowed on TV on Sunday back then.
@@sureshnanu2682 And you couldn't buy alcohol on a Sunday, and it was about the time of carless days, I even remember not being able to buy petrol after mid day Saturday, including sunday.
Wow that took me back 😪 take me back to the 70s and 80s, i recall so fondly watching this race all day on a sunday, and what about Brock's A9X's. Thanks for putting this up..life travels way too fast
This was the first Bathurst i attended. I remember collecting aluminium cans later in the day and filling the boot of my mum's Cortina with them. Smelled like beer for weeks.
Back in the late 70s I snuck in a couple of racing runs in my v8 Bolwell Nagari around Bathurst - huge buzz, fantastic race track! It was a great era of motor racing. 😎🇦🇺
Back in the 1960's a mate and I took his dad's Valiant wagon to Bathurst. We did a top speed run down Conrod, hitting 90mph and had to take the road to Bathurst coz the brakes faded as soon as Neil stood on the brakes. A vivid memory from 50 odd years ago....
The track is so brutal when you are actually driving on it. On TV it looks tough but in real life it's just a monster. I did some laps in my Mazda RX4 Coupe and it was scary tight and full of the most wicked elevation changes you don't notice on TV (0-0)
@@GM-fh5jp Sure is brutal. Going through the "Esses" there's a left turn and the track immediately _drops down out of view_ with the next right just metres away. That's "The Dipper". You have to take those left-right turns from memory alone. Scariest track I've ever been on - and that's driving nowhere near the speeds of the V8 guys.
Where I used to live in Victoria in the early 80’s, the local cops loved Bathurst Sunday. Was their busiest afternoon of the year. All the local rev heads in their V8’s tear arsing about😂
This sort of camera work goves a real feel for the speed and intensity.
Today, non stop ultra close ups, no real perspective to gauge speed on.
Exactly what I was thinking ... it was like actually being in the car
I would always miss a pre-season cricket training to watch Bathurst.
Fantastic era of Australian motorsport 68-84.
You can hear Brock say "Alan grice cut it out", when Grice passed him around the outside up that hill.
I was wondering what he said. Sounded like he wasn’t impressed by Gricey’s outside move on him. Two great drivers playing for keeps, no quarter given, door handle to door handle stuff…….. you don’t see much of that in today’s NASCAR format of so-called ‘Australian’ supercars.
👍👍 Heck Yeah, Thanks for posting.
From 1:22 - Hear that chook cooker getting prepped for launch.
Excellent racing back when the cars sounded great, and over / understeer was normal.
This was pretty entertaining stuff, then and now.
Bathurst was awesome when all the different off the showroom floor cars raced together with drivers like Moffat doing the entire race.
Please bring back the touring cars!!!
The new cars are a debacle. What are they? That chev is a joke. Not things I see on the road. I actually don’t think this thing atm will last much longer, it’s too artificial, you can’t relate to it, and they might bring back touring cars somehow
These days are gone. Very sad
far out! and love the commentary thing were so much more personalised in those days
4:47 Brock: "FFS cut it out" hahahaha fantastic stuff.
hahahaha i thought he said something like that....
Pure racing!!!!😮
Real cars on a real track. Not a Nascar in sight.
Loved the good old days of racing in the 80's and 90's 🏖🏖🏖
Nothing will ever surpass Peter Perfect in the HDT A9X Hatchback.
The greatest race car in Australia, ever.
Grice was a class act. There was a Grice smash repairs on the Sydney western train line and I always wondered if it was Alan’s. Probably not I thought.
Back when Conrod Straight was straight.
I was there in the pits as an 11 year old kid remember the Camaro coming in the pits in a truck after it had rolled.
Wow! I was at home watching as a 12 year old, and right into it. Can remember it like yesterday
Amazing I can watch something from 1982 and recognise the commentators voices!
the good old days gricey was no slouch.liked the craven a torana.
I always watched for Grice, the craven a Torana caught my eye as a young kid.
That’s was awesome
Long Live ConRod 💪💪👌 Epic part of an Epic circuit
The race was won by Peter Brock and Larry Perkins of the Holden Dealer Team driving a Holden Commodore. It was Brock's sixth victory, a record, the Holden Dealer Team's sixth win and the first win in the race for a car carrying a Racecam unit. Holden Commodores filled the top four positions, but only after Dick Johnson was disqualified after originally finishing in fourth spot. Brock and Perkins finished a lap ahead of Allan Grice and Alan Browne. It was the second time Grice had finished second but had yet to win. The second Holden Dealer Team Commodore of John Harvey and Gary Scott finished third, equalling the best previous performance of the HDT
I don't watch this racing anymore. I'm 73 and I have been spoilt by the way it was. Now just Nascar. Boooooooooring
What you been smoking M8?
This isn't Nascar
Same here. I stopped watching it when it became the V8 Supercars. Give me the old days when you developed the cars yourself, not told what parts to use. As you say, just Nascar now
Real cars, real chassis. Spectacular racing.
@@Mick_4591micko, he never said it was nascar. He said nascar was all that's left.
It doesn’t get much better than that. Was the best racing in the world, better than f1 at the time. The modern thing is a debacle.
Look at the size of the crowds, sheer number of cars lined up to race. What happened to Australia..?
Rich kids wanted better cars than the street versions fucking hate v8 supercars
How good.is this !! Thanks for posting
i was there for that race and got a lap around it the day before. great times
Just superb
Grew up watching this. More please!
Legendary stuff
I was at Bathurst for the Winterfest last week. We went for a lap and a walk at the mountain. So different now but still so much the same.
This is beautiful racing as racing was meant to be. Fantastic drivers in real genuine muscle cars. Not this cookie cutter shit that’s circling the tracks today.
Look how many entrants back then! Now its just the elites☹️,
Grice was possessed, I'm sure. Outstanding opening few laps.
Loved this motor racing and by reading everyone’s comments others did as well 🚘💪👏
CLASSIC.
Love it. I was there.
It’s amazing how hard they drove those cars with no extra help just them and machine with no electronic help bar a radio and maybe some engine management with electronic ignition
Gricy was running a hand built special engine from a workshop in Winton
thanks good times
I was 11 and no doubt watched this with my dad, my brother and my mum while we did a bbq by the side of the pool and I was on beer patrol suck'n the froth of the top of every can I took to them. Made me the piss head I am today!
Unbelievable that "the 80s" are FORTY years ago...
Back when Bathurst had real cars and was worth watching.
It's complete crp now!
The good ol days of Aussie racing, when they didn't BAN overseas manufacturers when they won (Nissan Skylines).
Instead of making Aussie cars better, they just banned the opposition that was mopping the floor with them.
My fathers best mate was Brian. Nightingale a Bathurst car racing legend. He drove a RX 7 with Tony Mulvihill and had a famous self dig out, kick the car door in the sand pit moment in I think 1984 or 85. A large man he was great fun to be with me and my brother were 8 amd 9 years old. “ NIGHTO “ was very close with Peter. Rock, we used to sneak in at Oran Park and get kicked out of a Rocky’s tent I remember meeting Alan Grice on a cold Bathurst winter mornings at Bernard’s Bakery in Bathurst. At primary school you would hear all the cars, practice all week. The best memories no phones , BMX’s , swimming in the river and enjoying
Ife. Go Bathurst . My father was Colin ( Col ) Preston
4:42 Grice overtaking Brocky in to The Cutting! Awesome move. You'll never see that these days!
Brock would go through in third gear. Grice was using second. Brock commented that he could not believe how hard Grice was revving it.
@@michaelconnors4248 doesn’t really matter. Fastest car is faster lol
Grice would repeat the move on Perkins in the '84 race.
people forget that not only did Brock do two 3-peats, he did them with only 1 year inbetween, he won every year aside from 1981 between 78 and 84. Had he won in 1981 he would have won 7 times in a row.
What does Brock say from about 4:44 to 4:49? at the end he says "cut it out" but can't quite make out everything before that except the F word.
Good listening. I didn't notice that.
I’ve watched this race at least 50 times including live. I can tell you 100 percent brock says ITS NOT THE TIME CUT IT OUT
@@cameronelliott9709 grice loved a punch on
Watching Touring Car racing such as this again puts into perspective just how crap Australia's "premier" form of racing these days is.
I went to the Mountain 4 times when Brock won. Great days
Only 159 laps to go
How did those tyres survive more than 10 laps of this, great stuff
Watch Dicky Johnson in fifth, he's sliding all over the joint. Finished 4th but got dq'd unfairly
Absolute legends, I was lucky enough to be there in 1985 when Brock lost his windscreen but it didn’t slow him down 😂😂
I was 12 back then and still remember it today 300kph down conrod was pretty cool. Funny how all the signage never made me want to start smoking redbull is so much healthier wtf .
That was pretty cool. I remember watching that when i was 16. Haven't watch touring/V8's cars in years. Just irrelevant motor racing.
Where else in motorsport would you see a 1.5 tonne Camaro race down a mountain .... on its roof? Ah memories.
That’s my peak Bathurst.
Raced on Sunday sold on Monday 😊
before the extra corners on the rear straight
how fast are these cars really
still 300?
0 to 100 in 5?
Yes close to 300 he says 180 mph
Thankyou algorithm
Awsome!!!!
How good was that
Even the track - so different from today's track layout. Very little protection, few concrete walls, the Chase not yet added...
Once was the great race ... not so much now.
did I see some rx7's in that race?
This was back in innocent times when petrol cars needed technical improvements and the activity was interesting. Now the whole deal is pointless but that was then and this is now. 😊
Back when car racing had soul
No concrete walls!
Does anyone know what sort of horsepower the cars were putting out back then?
About 520.
God's duelling ,on God's mountain
Back when they were proper touring cars
Not the shit we have now
VH commodore the best!😅😅
The legend that was Bathurst. The race now is a boring shell of what it once was. Too many rules, too many cars that are clones of each other. might as well watch NASCAR.
Supercars are the best
old Spicey Gricey doing well against the better funded teams
