Not bad, but they could have left out Denny Hulme's crash. The poor bloke crashed because had a heart attack, and then passed away shortly afterwards as a result. RIP.
Was the only reason he crashed, had survived much more serious crashes during his career…agree it didn’t need to be included in a clip about Bathursts biggest crashes
Anybody who's done the obligatory Aussie Revhead pilgrimage and the standard parade lap of the mountain knows just how intimidating it is at 60kmh in a modern vehicle with current tyre technology. The fact that the old blokes did it in those old tanks with sloppy steering boxes and skinny cross-ply tyres at 60 mile an hour is fucking insane. Would have gone faster if not for the weight penalty of their huge balls.
@@JB-vd8bi cheers mate. Nobody should be allowed to armchair-commentate incidents at Mt Panorama until they've taken a car around it themselves, in my humble opinion. Have a nice one ;)
@@sixstringedthing I was just saying that in a reply to a comment on another RUclipsr’s video. He said the track is no joke, he’s “raced the Mountain on a few video games” I replied “until you have driven up pit straight, traversed the esses and round Forrest elbow onto conrod, you have no idea what it takes to wrestle a car on this track at 60km/h”. Then keeping in mind they average 160-165km/h! That’s the average! Do that for over 150 times and you realise that they’re not only race car drivers, they’re magicians!
A few years back I took my ex hillclimb/time trial car (a very modified Holden Gemini) around Mt Panorama. That was a well sorted and very stable club motorsport car that had been de-tuned and made a little more road friendly, and coming down through the esses going 60km/h felt like I was going too fast. It was well within the adhesion capability of the car, but as a driver I was acutely aware of how close those walls are and just how tight it really is. I did three laps and that was enough. I'm not totally inexperienced either, I did many laps around Amaroo, a good few around the Oran Park short circuit, some around Catalina (scary track), and even some laps around Eastern Creek in it's very early days so I had some idea how to drive a car fast on a circuit. But Bathurst is something else entirely. When you consider how fast the modern Supercars and GT3 cars go across the top and down to the elbow it's almost inconceivable. You really do have to drive it to know. Back in the early 70s when they ran production cars flat out it must have been utterly mad. I've owned a couple of old Fords (2 different XPs and an XT), the thought of pushing one of those cars flat out around Bathurst for half a day is roughly akin to a death wish. If I did five laps without crashing or breaking the car it would be a miracle. That track is completely bonkers. The drivers must have had a screw loose to try that back in those days, it's beyond brave what they did.
Even back in the 1960's I'm amazed that the Australian racing authorities allowed cars to compete without the most rudimentary roll over cage. Se the Viva HA model at 2.17 mins. One roll and the roof collapsed I was surprised to see the driver emerge with just slight bruising
What years was it in Nascar when they ran with 'fake' roll cages - made out of wood or other weight saving materials? Also seeing the first group b Lancia rally cars (was it the 037) roll over and fold like a piece of paper was shocking - that was the early 1980s I think - so I bet in the 60s, they would probably say 'anything goes'. Performance always trumped safety. Can you think of any more? Hope you're good :)
Yer the Seatbelt did nothing else then stopping them from launching from a car that folded up like paper. A pure dice roll there . Also Don't smoke around crashes please :D
The safety of the cars has come a really long way, even in the 60's and the 70's the cars were lightyears safer than they were... and now in the 2020's They're even better... Foam fuel bladders that don't burst into flames, rollcages that can withstand Condod straight right into the wall. I'm still alive to this day probably from lessons learned in these eras. When I was a young lil shit my mum spent huge money on getting me a helmet that wasn't Australian/NewZealand Standard. But FIA F1 certified. I crashed of course. and that helmet looked like a distorted nightmare. It was all crumpled and warped. I still got some brain damage, but it was VERY minor. God bless mums who buy motorcycle gear for their stupid kids!.
Very well done video, the original cars of the sixties and seventies were the real drivers it was all skill back then in little more than street cars not the formula one cars of today with a body shell.
Makes me laugh...the car rolling down the hill at 4:42 and it's all caught on camera but yet there just happens to be a camera very conveniently at the bottom and more or less in line with the car coming down the hill
5:02 How on mother earth do you survive that? That might be the closest thing I have seen to a miracle ever. There literally must have been an angel in that car and I don't even believe in angels 🧐
In those early crashes it's a wonder any of them survived considering safety was not a priority. I remember many older races with a bitter taste in the back of my throat. Many of which were not so lucky.
25 Years ago thought it was ridiculous That Richard's was driving around like That and crashed , Now I am 59 Years And wiser , he just lucky nobody got Injury or killed , 3 Wheels raining , Should have stoped Ps I can hear Moffitt in backroom You see why you must live life to the Full , such a well versed man , He Had so much knowledge , Thanks To Perking and others he is in a home Being looked after , Health and Financial All the best Moffitt
When I was a kid there was a crash worse than the one on this video when an open wheeler lost control at the top of the mountain very close to us and ploughed into the crowd and I believe the was deaths. I think it was number 38 and there was deaths.. I'm 76 now
How good were the 80s? Camaro's, commodores, rx7s, falcons, AE86 corolla's, BMW M3's, Nissan Bluebirds, Gloria's and Skyline's, Jaguars, Cosworths. I much preferred Touring cars over the V8 Holden vs Ford era that followed them. All because a couple of bogans didn't like the iconic Godzilla dominating the local product. Long live the R32 gtr.
Yup. He was literally suffering a fatal heart attack at the time but still had the awareness to pull the car up. I remember watching that race on live tv at age 13.
holy dooly haaa lol yup THE good old days not cars are about 4 - 4 1/2 hr slower wen i was a kid the race started 630 am -7am no shit iv watched every year from 76- and color 1978 whoop whoop lol pinching my parents alpine menthol cigarettes haaa lol

At puberty my father said never trust rubber....that's funny as hell.
Couldn't help but laugh at that. If he said that today, he'd be crucified by the PC (political correctness) brigade.

The king of touring car commentators. RIP Mike Raymond.
RIP Denny Hulme. Great video, thanks for uploading.
Yeah he died of a heart attack during the 1992 Bathurst 1000.
What an absolute gem of an upload! Some of the commentary was hilarious. Love it. Definitely going onto my favourites.
The commentary was bloody proper .. hahaha
@ 9:27 Bouuuoom 😂😂
Agreed; that's "barbieque material" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Safety back in the day was pretty much “don’t crash”
still always policy no. 1..!
"Throttle goes both ways" was motorsport administration's version of safety. . .

Denny Hulme at 10:11 was due to him having a heart attack IIRC. He died later in hospital.
I watch this every year. Keep the uploads coming mate!
24:31 Best on air comment I have ever heard :D
As my dad told me when I entered puberty, never trust rubber.....classic
haha. a new comment tho
Doug Mulray
Had this on DVD years ago thanks for the upload RIP Denny Hulme
Rwd AWD and fwd all in one class wow!
good old lets do real shit days
And turbo and NA
what a gem of a video!
Mark Wheelhouse , you and I almost back in the day ! 🤣

5 deaths a year back in the 50's when my dad was racing. That when the cars first drifted
amazing how the track n cars have changed in 60 yrs
24:03 "Sting later wrote a song about it" Classic Mulray!
Just found you ... Love it ... Well Done 👍👍👍 Dave ...
thankyou for the upload :)
13.11…Great viewing…I remember watching it live back in the day 😃😃😂🤣👌🏻
Please remember that Conrod Straight is named after the number five conrod that let go in Toranas at full noise often enough to be immortalised.
loved it thanks mate
Literally have the disc for this on the floor at my feet
*FBI* has entered the chat :D
@ 29:50 you got the Beverly Hill Cop tune kicking 😂😂
That last one is a very good example of how NOT to attack The Chase...
The classic crashes segment was funny
43:39 What a boss ... beautiful thing to behold.
The sound effects haha🤣
Ahhh those were the days. rest in peace (while your wheels are smokin) peter perfect
That bill brown crash at the top of the mountain is still talked about today. Rest in peace Bill Brown, who passed away a few months ago.
R.I.P Peter Brock
Good old Bathurst, nothing like aussie racing.
What an Aussie legend was Moffat....we never know we have them till they were gone.
Old cars be like "what's structure in a roof?"
Roof was for keeping the rain out or for sitting on while watching the races.
Lots of these cars are stock road cars
I’ve got a copy of this DVD.
thanx for the vid bud
At a race in Australia and a Klansmen walks by at 9:01
Maybe he was just wearing his ghost costume? :D
Lmao…. Glad you pointed that out 😂
man, these old cars crumpled like tin cans. "Viva la safetybelt" says the commentator as the entire roof collapses under the weight of the car :P
Yer the Seatbelt did nothing else then stopping them from launching from a car that folded up like paper. A pure dice roll there . Also Don't smoke around crashes please :D
I’ve got a copy of this DVD.
Vale Beverley Brock. Passed a couple of days ago.
39:00 fueling the car from the pits has changed since that moment
These days, a pace car appears if someone farts.
Bathurst is now a series of sprints.
No, that’s nascar, if a car is stuck you can’t leave it there
Quiet a few "ouch" moments...

What I do miss from Bathurst i sthe mix of classes, once they went V8 only it got bloody boring 90% of the time.
Old school safety... if any of the rescuers are smoking could they kindly leave.
Uncle Doug was brilliant as a commentator. Should have been a regular. He and Evan Green would have made a fantastic team.
How fortunate was Bill Brown to survive 2 big accidents?
I love the Supercars
Very well done video, the original cars of the sixties and seventies were the real drivers it was all skill back then in little more than street cars not the formula one cars of today with a body shell.
very true, back then it was a "race on sunday , sell on monday" mentality
@@roadwolf2 It is a long time since I have heard that people agree black is blue that never happened !
I mostly agree, but I still enjoyed the Group A era despite the politics and problems it caused. That said Group C was may fav era.
Luckiest spectator ever on the car that rolled over barrier
Now I desperately want a durrie
Chaz Mosterts stack is right up there
The CRAZY "Good Old Days"
No Anti Roll Bars ect ect ect ect ect.......
cracking compilation...
Love this track V8 super cars
I saw it all Jack Phillips .
3:40 “What was that Skippy?!!!”
7:36 the most notorious race ever! Millions of fans from around Australia were disgusted at that debacle.
Never trust rubber, great advice
Makes me laugh...the car rolling down the hill at 4:42 and it's all caught on camera but yet there just happens to be a camera very conveniently at the bottom and more or less in line with the car coming down the hill
Cameraman was just taking a piss among the gumtrees 😂
..i heard the valiant chargers were the best ..and the nissan skyline !!
I do love 6-pack muscle (Barra the world), though my fav soundtrack from the old school is the Cleveland V8.
Skylines were AWD Turbos… they dominated for obvious reasons.
You can see why historics are popular.
Super cars might be 1.5 mins a lap faster but the racing is no closer
He's ok just a bit stunned!
5:02 How on mother earth do you survive that? That might be the closest thing I have seen to a miracle ever. There literally must have been an angel in that car and I don't even believe in angels 🧐

I remember many older races with a bitter taste in the back of my throat. Many of which were not so lucky.
The Alan Jones/Ross Stone Pack Leader team is actually historically linked to the current Mercedes V8SC team
It's the equivalent of how F1 teams are sometimes passed around new owners. From Pack Leader to Stone Brothers to now Erebus
6:17 - I knew he had bottle!
29:39 cleaning the shit particles off the inside of the windscreen after the prang. Must've been pretty stout to get through a fire suit.
Pmsl. Good call.
32:50 if you get forced into the wall by another car get out of it not even the lord can save this car
23:11 Trailing driver clearly PIT manoeuvres the leading one and goes far left as a result.
Commentator: "I don't believe he's touched him."
Yer prob not Moffat's best call.
the commantary at 25+ mins epic...
Did my neighbours wife up the shitter near Forest elbow.....happy days
Ah, rear wheel drive in the wet, clowntime!
25 Years ago thought it was ridiculous
That Richard's was driving around like
That and crashed , Now I am 59 Years
And wiser , he just lucky nobody got
Injury or killed , 3 Wheels raining ,
Should have stoped
Ps I can hear Moffitt in backroom
You see why you must live life to the
Full , such a well versed man , He
Had so much knowledge , Thanks
To Perking and others he is in a home
Being looked after , Health and Financial
All the best Moffitt
Those fake sound effects added to the old footage is a laugh.
Some of its real.
cool old footage.
16:45 quite and expensive little car park
ah backin the good old days when a racing suit was a pair of trackies thongs and a t shirt
2:41on the limit
nice
ive stull go this series on VHS :O
You'd hate to see any of these cars damaged like that these days!
When I was a kid there was a crash worse than the one on this video when an open wheeler lost control at the top of the mountain very close to us and ploughed into the crowd and I believe the was deaths. I think it was number 38 and there was deaths.. I'm 76 now
The pile up?
Miss the old days but there were some very sad moments to
Yes. know what you mean.
Yeah , like when Lowndes went back to holden....such a shame 😉
11.30 HELMET IN HAND LMAO
i cannt believe even then there was not safety for the drivers
5:29 almost decapitated.
no roll over protection
How good were the 80s? Camaro's, commodores, rx7s, falcons, AE86 corolla's, BMW M3's, Nissan Bluebirds, Gloria's and Skyline's, Jaguars, Cosworths.

The safety standards in those early days was bloody criminal.
Iwrocker
The steering wheel is on the wrong side, isn’t it?
22:01 after this big crash big rev kev bartlett will not be bragging about that
Did they jsut keep racing when there was a accident
They didn't have the communication we have now. Bloody hard to let people know. Sometimes getting past is easier than hitting the picks and locking up
yes, it was actually a race back then
GTHO 1,000,000 dollar cars now what a waste
At 1:30 Jewelled by Propaganda if I’m not mistaken 😃
Seems rough go ultra comic con
10:37 Wasn't that denny hulme dieing? Not really a crash!
Yes it was.
Yup. He was literally suffering a fatal heart attack at the time but still had the awareness to pull the car up. I remember watching that race on live tv at age 13.
How bad were the cameramen back then?
Ever lift the equipment they were using?
99% of the VB drinking bogans are only there to see the crashes.
Pack of arseholes.
holy dooly haaa lol yup THE good old days not cars are about 4 - 4 1/2 hr slower wen i was a kid the race started 630 am -7am no shit iv watched every year from 76- and color 1978 whoop whoop lol pinching my parents alpine menthol cigarettes haaa lol
