      1000% agree, remember the race well. If it was me they were booing like that for absolutely no reason my words wouldn't have not been as kind as Jim Richards. Down right un-Australian to carry on like that just because you don't like the rules that were in place before the race started.

    Actually I have a funny story with Jim's son Steve. First time I met him was back in 2007 at the Gold Coast, him and his then team mate Mark Winterbottom walked past and I said "G'day guys, good luck for the weekend" Winterbottom thanked me, Steve was in a world of his own and misheard me and thought I said something mean to him so he started to yell a bit of trash at me. Frosty put his hand on him and said "Mate, the guy is just saying hello and wishing the best" and we all walked away. A day or two later, Steve walked past me again, he remembered me, stopped me and apologised profusely. Genuinely good friends with him these days alongside his kids Clay and Priya (we race iRacing together) and got to know Jim to a degree. We all have a good laugh at this "incident" these days.

(he thought I called him a c-bomb and a few other slurs because we were not far from the track and the ChampCars were running so was a little hard to hear at times) Fortunately after Frosty explained I was just being polite and we ran into each other the next day, he was very apologetic.

    People completely misunderstand what went on here. The fans trackside saw the Nissan crash, and Dick Johnson drive past it. (You seem to have forgotten to mention that bit)
    The vast majority going to the presentation were expecting Johnson to have won the race. To have the race win handed to the driver who had crashed was a shock, to put it mildly.
    (I was actually there, didn't go to the presentation, but headed back toward home thinking that Johnson had won the race.)

    This was the first race I ever watched as a kid. It made me love motorsport. Though I was too young and new to motorsport to understand why the fans hated the GTR. It's funny how a couple of decades later, Holden doesn't exist, we don't even have an "Australian" Ford and the Nissan GTR a legend.

      True fans of a sport value and revere the winners. Things like Bathurst just bring out the idiotic, Neanderthal side of Australians who don't care about the racing, they just want to borrow a bit of glory from people who actually achieve something, just to make up for their pointless, shitty lives. It's the same with footy and other sports.

    Richards and Tarquini in a saloon car shootout would be epic, both masters of touring cars and very popular. I can imagine Edd Straw getting so excited that he started vibrating

    You really undersold the reaction of the crowd. They were BAYING for blood.
    I was a kid and was shocked by what Jim said but certainly understood why he'd said it. I was 1000klms away, watching it all on TV, and I was scared for them.
    (i was in Bathurst a coupe of weeks ago and, while at the Motorsport Museum that is beside the track, took a photo of the car (which is on display) and sent it to my Brother-in-law, who is a skyline fan boy, with the caption, "you're a pack of arseholes". We both had a laugh and chatted about the race in the resultant phone conversation and we found out, to both our surprise, that my sister was clueless....... she has since been schooled. )

  • @Pablo668
    @Pablo668 8 месяцев назад +2

    In my opinion, Jim Richards was right.
    Funny thing is, in the intervening years rev heads in Australia have come to love the Nissan GTR's. In fact a GTR of that series goes for a high price these days. The old rivalry Ford?Holden was fun, but I really like the fact that car enthusiasts these days have the blinkers off largely and appreciate all the paths you can take to go fast.

    The rules for deciding the finishing order under a red flag are usually well-defined. Just because the lead car crashed on the last lap but the race was called off as of the previous lap doesn't disqualify that car, if for no other reason because it was running when the race officially ended.

    I remember that day. I was watching the race and I saw the cutaway to Denny Hulme's car at the side of the road. I think that they announced over the broadcast that he had passed away, but I remember that it was one of the first times that I felt a massive shiver run up my spine.
    The right team won. Like it or not, the GTRs were a great car and it was up to the others to work out how to beat them. The crown was...... unfortunate and Jim's response was perfect. I totally agreed.

    Between Jim’s character reference towards that mob and Crompo flipping off the crowd, I’d say I’m amazed it didn’t get even nastier.
    At 2.00 with the marshal holding out the Red flag, I’d never noticed that flash of lightning before.

    Issue with sound through my PC, so haven't heard anything yet of this vid.
    Only I can think of regarding 1992 and Bathurst, regretfully, is the passing of great kiwi driver Denny Hulme - R.I.P.
    He should've been much more recognized as a great champion here in Europe, as I myself grew up with motorsport in the 70s and 80s, but many of my friends unfortunately forgot him in the ranks of champions from the golden era.
    Will watch again when I get sound signal on my PC, otherwise rewatch on my LG C2 YT app or tablet tonite.
