Young Crumbly and Gary Wilko giving us the commentary, and of course the late great legendary Mike Raymond. Thanks for the memories, and thanks for the upload.

I would much rather watch this 43 year old race than the 2021 version of "supercars"

Would love a simulator to recreate Amaroo Park and the cars that raced it. Sat on Skyline a few times watching my uncle race around there in the 70's.

[@justaguy5484]

There is. Not sure what game but have raced a Lotus Cortina round Amaroo a year ago at Darling Harbour in Sydney. Can't think of the name. But was AWSOME

[@janreznak881]

rFactor. The original. All the tracks and all the cars available, for whatever racing you want. Just been racing around Amaroo today in Group A cars.

[@WacKEDmaN]

the track was made orignally for Grand Prix Legends game... then converted to rFactor.. ..rFactor with TCL mod is KILLER!... ive also converted amaroo from rFactor to BeamNG

[@judygunson7539]

How come they won't let the Minis run 8 port heads and 12 inch wheels in Group NA!?
Great videos!
