Glenn Seton was an underated wet weather driver. His drive in the 87 Bathurst in the Nissan Skyline turbo was some of the best wet driving i've ever seen.
Not only did Peter posses a truly remarkable & fearless ,driving ability around a racetrack..he had to go with it ..the most incredible aura & captivating charisma that was second nature ..he was & always will be special a very special Australian indeed ,now enshrined as a true almost demigod for his achievements & for just being the individual that was blessed with overall brilliance in so many ways. Still miss you "King" no one else comes close mate..things just aren't the same without ya. K.D.Cane...
@@queenslander954 totally agree. He was not only a fantastic racer but a real gentleman. As a Ford fan at the time, I still remember this as probably one of the best Bathurst laps. He truly was a legend and gone too soon. Now we have lost free to air, I don't watch it any more. Used to love the V8 Supercars, each Bathurst I would buy a few video tapes and not only watch the whole race, but pause for the ads. Times have changed and it's no longer available to the common man. Haven't watched it for probably ten years. No longer buy Fords any more either.
As a new convert to Australian racing....Good lord Brock had a set of balls on him the size of boulders....I am two years into my journey of watching all the Supercar stuff i can....and Lord here in the states even back then i dont think they would have raced on a track that wet....Then again i think they only track here in the states we have that comparable to the mountain...Is maybe Laguna Seca and i have never seen them run in the rain there....Yet Brock handles that car like a sunday drive in the mountains of East Tennessee good good stuff
jmissle gday chills still run down my neck watching that I’ve been there when I was younger to watch and have the odd beer 🍺 of coarse and nothing rated higher than standing in the hot sun or poring rain for Brocky. His long run of preference street vehicles were unbelievable to he could take a stock car and win races or turn them into killers for the streets. He could probably have driven Bathurst blindfolded. And was the kind of bloke that in the days leading up to the race would walk the crowd sighing and posing for picks with his fans. What a man Long live the KING 🤴👍🇦🇺
If you think Marcos Ambrose was ok in NASCAR (and a lot of people think he did great) it's a pity that Brocky never sat in a NASCAR. Ambrose was a very talented driver but he was never a patch on Brock. I think Brocky in a NASCAR would've had a lot of your compatriots spitting their Coors lol
+Peter House Very true, but he did win again under the new rules. Endurance racing like this isn't solely a contest of driver skill, driver luck comes into it a very great deal and no-one is lucky all the time and there were definitely times when Brock and his co-drivers certainly didn't have the run of the luck...
gosportjamie mark skaife was a whisker away but skaife never drove the old holdens like brocky did i would have loved to see them driving the same cars. Towards brocks later years skaife consistently beat brock but brock was still in the commodores then while skaife had the luxury of driving the godzillas
@Dan Rod that's because he'd crashed or had mechanical problems so jumped into #10 so he could keep racing. Unfortunately the drivers aren't allowed to do that these days
Those were the days, no speed limit in the pits, cars left were they stopped on the track and car that resemble what we were driving on the streets! Supercars lost me when they went to the Holden Ford BS......
They went to Holden vs Ford because they changed the rule so they no longer had to be production cars. In response Nissan built cars made for racing while nobody else did. Then they got all upset that nissan was playing by the rules and dominating because they chose not to just stick to the old rules. They couldn't change back to production cars only so instead changed it to Ford vs Holden
I agree. I lost interest when they banned the European cars just because Holden & Ford couldn't keep up with them, losers!! Why didn't we just build faster cars to compete instead of banning the faster cars?? That's like banning Mike Tyson from boxing back when he was undefeated. I'm from Australia, I love Australian touring car racing, but that moment in history is shameful for Australian racing.

I was there for that. Fuck it was freezing. And wet. Brock was absolutely magnificent. He had had the year form hell and the 10 car was really just a shit box cobbled together from whatever was lying around the garage so the sponsors could see two cars in the race. And he took it out, drove the wheels off and (eventually) won! The crowd at the top of the mountain were going nuts every time he drove past towards the end

Probably the most masterful piece of driving I have ever seen. The recipe? A powerful racing car, a race track that is challenging in the best of conditions (and I have driven around there) and cold, slick racing tyres on a wet track. This is how you do it folks. Watch, and wish you were one tenth as good as the late, great Peter Brock.
he is definately australias ayrton love the way he dances the car around looking for grip. WE'LL MISS YA BROCKY ! so good to see lowndes's emotions in 06 bathurst,RESPECT!
As much as I am was a huge Brocky fan, to say he was on the same level as Ayrton is pretty big call. He was good, real good, but I would say that Ayrton was just that little bit better (like for like).
@@jamesdoust6975 how is saying "he is definately australias ayrton" not making a definitive comparision of the two, and not impying that they are on the same level (like for like)?
i met brockie in barbagallo pits with my dad when i was about 5 years old. Everybody respected you so much! You are a true champion to me. R.I.P mate. you are a true inspiration.
Saw Brock win at the mountain in 1984. Great driver and personality! My mum's favourite! My young brother and I would take her to Sandown to watch her hero. Good memories!!
I was there that day at the top of the mountain. I was in a cast with a broken foot and when it started to rain I virtually skied down the hill on my one good leg and crutches.
The commentary was fairly understated for such a greasy, sliding, Hell raising lap! Bring back Group A and let's all watch cars we can actually buy in our premiere touring car series. To hell with shed built racing cars wearing family car disguises and to hell with parity. Let the manufacturers worry about parity when they build their touring car specials.
unfortunately, that would mean hordes of GTRs, WRX and EVOs on the podium. which is all fine, but it wont make really saleable television, and without that there is no high budget racing. it hardly needs to be stated that motor racing in oz has always levered off the Ford vs Holden idiom. when they were marginalised by better cars, the rules were (wisely) changed to exclude the better cars. now we are looking at not even having V8 Fords or Holdens at all, so the only way to keep the F v H battle fiction alive (which is necessary for viewers) is to have Ford and Holden motors racing each other in standardised, shed-built chassis. even then, it is only going to work by hobbling the OHC V8s from other manufacturers, with rev limiters! so i hear ya bro, but the past is the past. if the australian public could become enthused about nissan/subaru/mitsubhshi 4wd turbo supercars, i reckon that would make for great racing, but my impression is it just wont happen. lastly and back on point... yep, PB was just awesome. 9 Bathurst wins!
+Alexander Stollznow What about prod car series in 04-06, the vz clubdport did great against the evos(mitsu), both of which i love, with the clubsports managing to survive bathurst to win, , they had whats needed, light with good hp
Dave L I know this extremely late but, In Australia people brought back Group A and C and race around Bathurst, Sandown, Philip Island, Winton. I know a few people who still Race Ford Falcons XD/XE and Holdens and Nissan Skylines and stuff like that. Good stuff there are
CubesaverFTW that is because those who looked on in wonder in these cars heyday are now in a position to be able to afford to race them, and I totally agree with you, it is great to see them being recognised.
Brock, Senna, Fangio, Villeneuve, Clark... they all have one thing in common. When they get into the car, they manage to display skill that is almost otherworldly, something that defies belief and leaves you speechless. RIP.
Would still rather watch these cars then what is getting around today. This is insane by brocky... " Just a casual drift through the cutting and across top of mountain at 200km/h...😳
RIP for yesterday Brocky. Love ya guts. 6 years...... I was there that day on top of the mountain. That was QUITE a day..........We stuck it to the foreigners!
Nice driving but have you seen Glen Seton driving in the same race? Makes Brocky's driving look pretty tame! Seton on slicks in the rwd Skyline turbo much wetter track sliding everywhere while passing 3 cars across the top, going sideways at full noise down conrod straight absolutely brilliant driving skills from Seto!
@@davkdavk I take it you've never driven the track to see how it feels, Brock dances on the limit of every car he drives. i'd sooner see good drivers slide all over the track at speed than watch them go around in circles like they do in America
yep. I never understood why noone back then or now mentioned that. He was heaps faster over the top of mountain he got past the other commodore then got on Brocks tail. then almost picks him in last corner and that was after being smoked down the straight
As I already said in a comment on another PB video on YT, he was Peter (almost) Perfect to me..IMO the only thing wrong with him was that he was a one-eyed (any other kind?!) Collingwood fan, haha!! RIP Pete...you're still very much loved & missed, mate...
No misjudgement pommy! BROCKY is a legend! He knew darn well what to do; he knew this track intimately and this is why he won! Sensational driver! The best race car driver on any surface in any conditions! Miss you heaps BROCKY! 🇦🇺👍👌☝️🙏😃
Bloody hell, didn't know what you were talking about so I googled it. What a grub. Smearing the name of a great motorsport family. Hope he got what he deserved behind bars.
should see the A9X Torana run around Bathurst by PB ! massive sideways drifts completely on the edge of hurt ! reaction times were perfect ! never be another driver like PB .
My favorite era of racing for sure coz im a old bugger. Coz im old my memory is slipping so can someone please remind me why Brocky is #10 and not his usual 05? And that Commodore VL is still an awesome looking car. Nobody does the slip sliding around the mountain like the legend that is Peter Brock.
He was the Master. Those drivers of the 80's, Brock, Johnson, Richards, Moffat, Bond, Fury, Grice & Perkins, I'm sure theyre many others I've missed but they were the best.
I remember driving my VK Calais Director at Oran Park in the rain. Brock had those cars so finely tune that I could not do a thing wrong with it. Sideways all the way from the first right hand corner out of under the bridge to the next right hander before you go over the bridge.
Even running slicks on a drying track he was fast ! Geez I miss him ! I would have loved to see him take the last ever Holden supercar for a blast around the mountain ! I know many commentators waffle on about how good some drivers are today but stick a young Brock in a modern car and I reckon he would shit on them - he was so talented !
When Bathurst was fun to watch and a true long distance race. It’s boring now, lots of little sprints between safety cars. Brock and Johnson were the best ever! (Nobody could drive at full race speed, while talking calmly on a television camera like DJ!) RIP Peter Brock- two Aussie legends gone in a week, Steve Irwin and then Brock. 😢
there was one year of bathurst i recall where dad tellin me bout was the ford sierra had a hidden fuel tank which helped them pit less, they were found in the end and disqualified
What an absolute Legend Brocky is. He knew a car like no one and sure as hell knew how to handle the unruly bastards, Thanks heaps Peter (Brocky) Brock, you will ALWAYS be Australia’s (and the world’s) “King of The Mountain. Thanks for all the awesome memories, we love ya mate big time 😩🥺😢🙏🙏🙏☝️☝️☝️🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
This still rates as one of the gutsiest, hair raising and tactically brilliant drives of its time. Who better to pull a trick like that than Peter Perfect 👌🏻
How is it tactically brilliant to be driving a car on slicks in the wet? He's displaying some excellent ability in being able to do so but tactically brilliant? Nope
How old are you you clown. Or probably another millennial dickhead keyboard warrior. In all forms of racing when the track drys it’s a decision you make to use slicks or not. your stupid comments lead me to believe you are just another little boy who is viewing this for the first time and think you are an authority on the racing craft.
Nothing else to say besides, talented, forever missed & absolutely knew how to drive.. cars arnt the same, driving isn’t & nor is the learning side of it these days. He was a different breed.
i remember meeting him when i was like 4 or something and all i remember is saying "thats the guy on tv that knows how to throw a car around" he was amazing, sadly was born too late to enjoy his career properly
as john bowe said, brock may have thought he could drive fast on slick tyres in the wet, but bowe was 15 seconds a lap faster and catching him in a hurry.
I was not aware that Bowe was catching him at that pace. The day after that race at work in an Engineering environment this drive was barely mentioned everybody was talking about Seton in the rather crude Skyline. Glen was on fire that day, it really established his future career. It’s was bucketing down he was grabbing huge chunks of opposite lock, & the rev limiter was constantly going off. Mike Raymond was going nuts. Probably the Best Bathurst I ever saw. I know it may not have been as close as other Bathurst’s but my god it was a great race.
Only Brocky would go out early on slicks in the wet. He just did that lap on the knife edge of grip or disaster. He was definitely driving by the seat of his pants, using all of the skills he learnt as a kid racing his paddock basher around at the weekend and probably in the wet. Vale Brocky.
![Felix "Unfair" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oswujxm2Ag0/mqdefault.jpg)
Probably one of the best ever stints at Bathurst. Slicks in the wet! No one will be as good as him, different times, different cars

Worse drivers and slower easier to drive cars.
Absolutely, even Ford guys loved him .. in his Torana , Commodore .. anything.

should see the A9X Torana run around Bathurst by PB ! massive sideways drifts completely on the edge of hurt !
reaction times were perfect ! never be another driver like PB .
I remember I had a slot car set with brockeys car and I would send that thing round and round and round and round
this is beautiful!
I was lucky enough to meet Brock he was amazing person
My favorite era of racing for sure coz im a old bugger. Coz im old my memory is slipping so can someone please remind me why Brocky is #10 and not his usual 05? And that Commodore VL is still an awesome looking car. Nobody does the slip sliding around the mountain like the legend that is Peter Brock.
Scobe. #05 expired so he took over #10
R.I.P Brocky. King of the mountain forever.
Video stops as he is overtaken. We just watched the slowest lap in Bathurst history.
That was the lap the setup the win and no one who watched it live will ever forget it.
Stuip old fool.
@1:36 Fishying all over the road and not one single f$^% was given on that day haha
Hardly used brakes to little bummer on off them behind Peter perfect
He was the Master. Those drivers of the 80's, Brock, Johnson, Richards, Moffat, Bond, Fury, Grice & Perkins, I'm sure theyre many others I've missed but they were the best.
I got a photo as a young teen next to Brock's torana at the Phillip Island track center next to my desk looks tough.
Ahh…the days when you could have a coffee during your pit stop.
Said it before and I'll say it again ........ Fuck that man could drive !!!!! 🤨🤨
I remember driving my VK Calais Director at Oran Park in the rain. Brock had those cars so finely tune that I could not do a thing wrong with it. Sideways all the way from the first right hand corner out of under the bridge to the next right hander before you go over the bridge.
1:14 - Brock on slicks in the rain- 'Yeah I think he's made a slight misjudgement there..." Lol! Don't EVER underestimate the master, buddy. "-)
Is the Brabham behind him related to Jack Brabham?
Even running slicks on a drying track he was fast ! Geez I miss him !
I would have loved to see him take the last ever Holden supercar for a blast around the mountain !
I know many commentators waffle on about how good some drivers are today but stick a young Brock in a modern car and I reckon he would shit on them - he was so talented !
fully sick VL bro!
R.I.P you wonderful man!
They were actually built on production cars not like the current supercars which resemble cars but are not.
When Bathurst was fun to watch and a true long distance race.
It’s boring now, lots of little sprints between safety cars.
Brock and Johnson were the best ever!
(Nobody could drive at full race speed, while talking calmly on a television camera like DJ!)
RIP Peter Brock- two Aussie legends gone in a week, Steve Irwin and then Brock. 😢
there was one year of bathurst i recall where dad tellin me bout was the ford sierra had a hidden fuel tank which helped them pit less, they were found in the end and disqualified
@Holdmypole Thanks, we don't get to much of it broadcast over in the UK. I try watch the V8's when ever i can though.
This was Brocky's best piece of driving at Bathurst ever & it was fitting the Texaco Sierra's were dsq'd
What an absolute Legend Brocky is. He knew a car like no one and sure as hell knew how to handle the unruly bastards, Thanks heaps Peter (Brocky) Brock, you will ALWAYS be Australia’s (and the world’s) “King of The Mountain. Thanks for all the awesome memories, we love ya mate big time 😩🥺😢🙏🙏🙏☝️☝️☝️🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Funny how he was holding up the little buzz boxes behind him.
This still rates as one of the gutsiest, hair raising and tactically brilliant drives of its time. Who better to pull a trick like that than Peter Perfect 👌🏻
and then he went home to bash his wife, and talk about UFOS.
How is it tactically brilliant to be driving a car on slicks in the wet? He's displaying some excellent ability in being able to do so but tactically brilliant? Nope
How old are you you clown. Or probably another millennial dickhead keyboard warrior. In all forms of racing when the track drys it’s a decision you make to use slicks or not. your stupid comments lead me to believe you are just another little boy who is viewing this for the first time and think you are an authority on the racing craft.
"I've got balls of steeeel!" - Peter Brock
Nothing else to say besides, talented, forever missed & absolutely knew how to drive.. cars arnt the same, driving isn’t & nor is the learning side of it these days. He was a different breed.
Yeah Brocky
luv the exit out of pits , sideways , it was sooooooo much better back then
Bathurst isn't what it use to be, reflected by the poor attendance in last weekends race.
i remember meeting him when i was like 4 or something and all i remember is saying "thats the guy on tv that knows how to throw a car around" he was amazing, sadly was born too late to enjoy his career properly
My hero cvx
Mine to mate 🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲
Brocky was such a legend even Ford guys loved him, how could you not love that Oz icon.
Mr Brock my hero !
When production cars were dropped. I stopped.
haha no speed limit coming out of the pits
Miss brocky 15 years on still sad 😔
as john bowe said, brock may have thought he could drive fast on slick tyres in the wet, but bowe was 15 seconds a lap faster and catching him in a hurry.
I was not aware that Bowe was catching him at that pace. The day after that race at work in an Engineering environment this drive was barely mentioned everybody was talking about Seton in the rather crude Skyline. Glen was on fire that day, it really established his future career. It’s was bucketing down he was grabbing huge chunks of opposite lock, & the rev limiter was constantly going off. Mike Raymond was going nuts. Probably the Best Bathurst I ever saw. I know it may not have been as close as other Bathurst’s but my god it was a great race.
Still chokes me.. RIP mate
Was always more of a dicky fan but massive respect for that mans driving ability
Yes but you never see Dickys efforts in the wet as he always handed to car over to the co driver when it was wet.
@@grantreid8583 never said I thought dj was a better driver just a better character
Were they still production cars in these days?
Only Brocky would go out early on slicks in the wet. He just did that lap on the knife edge of grip or disaster. He was definitely driving by the seat of his pants, using all of the skills he learnt as a kid racing his paddock basher around at the weekend and probably in the wet.
Vale Brocky.
