If it would be recorded in 1970 - then Intercontinental GT Challenge came back from the future. 🤣 Their first year was 2016, and they do advertise on the track 😁 Incredible driving!!!
Anyone else find themselves yelling "go mate goooo" towards the end? Absolutely mad skills and a well sorted machine. Great to watch and thanks Richard. Cheers - Dave
In the eighties, I remember a FF race at Oran Park, and the stewards took fuel samples in plastic containers from the top five cars at the end of the Sunday race and left them in the steward's room till they could be analysed by the scrutineers on Monday morning. When they entered the Stewards room all the plastic containers had melted.
Exceptional driving. A lot of the comments suggests that you have a better/faster machine, but I digress. I truly believe it's your skill and experience. Well done mate 👊🏽. Respect, all the way from 🇿🇦👊🏽
Hi Rich! Awesome video man! Superb driving as always, and wow, bloody Bathurst Dude! I Wish I was there wrenching too! Hope you have a great week :) - did something let go at the end of the last lap? All the Best out there Richard, keep posting updates too! :)
@@LuckyRowlands It doesn't matter, a good engine is a good tool to have but the driver needs to take advantage the tool allows. Recently I was watching a super kart race and the camera cart had the speed but lap after lap after lap sat back in 4th contented that the slow cart in front was actually controlling him. So many times he could've taken a risk, got in front and probably have got a long way ahead and even come up on the 1-2 duel. Granted I was an armchair expert and it's harder than it looks, requires great upper body isometric type strength in corners, but still I couldn't help thinking oh FFS take a risk! Not so in this race. Confidence beats fear of risk. On the 2nd lap up Mountain straight how he uses a slower car to box in that other car that almost has the same power and get past 2 cars was arrogant, clever and bold.
He is probably one of the top 3 of the pack, that, for some reason (malfunction or other) fell to bottom of the pack in the timed practice session. His car is clearly superior than first cars he encounters, however, from a certain point on, it is clearly his driving and not much his hp that make the difference. The front cars are very similar to his, but his driving is more precise and he takes the corners faster than the others. If not only his driving, than his car setup, more than his HP.
I love the technique of shifting and making the back go light and then giving better turn in....and that gear box is freaking strong. Beautiful race track as well
I noticed that too. Good front grip to plow into the corners and have the back step out a bit on the way in to promote the turn. The car certainly enters the turns really strongly. Allowed for a narrow entry and carried corner speed where others were rear end drivers, this driver is a front end guy. V Nice to watch. thanks for sharing. Really outclassed those in front to make so many passes and have a clear advantage. Gutsy pass on the blue car into the S bends off the mountain.
I drove FF's back in the late 70's in the U.S. - western states champ - lap records at Mid Ohio, WIllow Springs and others - then Atlantics for 2 seasons in US and one season in NZ/AUS. What this driver has I found only rarely in others - he absolutely hustles the car. Meaning, he's uses ALL the road on entry/exit to the corners and doesn't worry about keeping the car planted - he's on the limit of adhesion and simply corrects as the car skates around under him - a little oversteer, little understeer, 4-wheel drift - just keeps his foot in it and corrects madly to keep it all going the right direction. Really a nice drive, with some pretty impressive commitment when entering some corners off-line after making a pass. We used to have 70 car fields in FF back in the day, with one second covering the top ten qualifiers, then another second covering the next 10 and son on. This driver would be right at home in the top ten.
If Ayrton Senna had ever raced an open wheeler at Mount Panorama, he would have driven it exactly like this. Magnificent driving in what is one of the purest forms of four wheel motor racing on tarmac. Congratulations to you Sir and keep up the great work.
I found you on the track after much searching, it was the red and white car with G-FORCE on the side of the car as you were going across the top of the mountain 😀👍
Great stuff 👍 I only know Bathurst through "Sim Racing" but that - showing my age here - was like a Mansell-esque charge through the field! Brilliant 👏
@Ryan 🇦🇺 eh?... I'm not as old as Nigel Mansell (or Jay Leno, for that matter). But senility and poor argumentation are clearly not limited to those of advancing years 😄
Great bl00dy drive, mate. Absolutely brilliant! Most exhilaration few laps I've ever watched. You may have had slightly quicker engine, but I put these few laps down to perfect driving skills. Car placement, late on the breaks, early on the gas, smooth as silk driving. Couple of missed gears didn't even slow you down. Was great drive and a pleasure to watch. Wow!
Nice driving! So you came 2nd from P36 on the grid? Why did you qualify so far back, as a lot of those guys were way slower? You didn't even have to stay on the racing lineuntil the last 10 or so. I have driven in Bathurst a bit on simulators, and I really hate the winding downhill part. But I never tried a car like yours, usually it was Spercars. And with them, you can easily become a billiard ball going down that downhill section... :)
Awesome, awesome video. Thank you for sharing it. I've got hundreds of laps around Bathurst...on my phone! Real Racing 3. So I already knew the race track. That allowed me to "ride along" with you. I'd like to know what happened at the end though. I saw the waving yellow and the safety car sign. But how did it end? I never saw a checkered flag
I raced in the states (SCCA, with fenders) in the 70's and 80's. Plenty of time on unknown tracks and a few big time pro circuits. I've run Riverside (closed mid-80's essentially for safety reasons), Laguna Seca, Sears Point (Sonoma Raceway), Portland and Road Atlanta. Every time I watch a race at Mt Panorama I'm in f*cking awe. That's easily the most difficult road race circuit in the world today and you just marched through the field? .....Dude, The constant clanking from those big brass balls of yours must get really annoying
I don’t know who you are but wow you can drive. I’ve watched this clip twice because you made that race look so easy with your superior driving skills. Well done.
Great drive! Formula cars at Bathurst! First time seeing these. A question? What tires are you using? About 30 years ago I bought a set of 175/70-13 Goodyear Eagle soft compound tires from the Tire Rack here in America for $42 ea. I was told they were FF rain tires and put them on my stock wheeled '92 Ford Escort. Wonderfully sticky tire and at that price I should have bought the whole lot but opted for bigger wheels and tires after they were worn out. Also nice to see I have the climb line through the right after the tight left proper too. Never thought crossing the width of the track made any sense to set up the right. Just early apex and take it to the wall on exit. Again thanks for the great ride along.
This is the kind of shit i want to see in a motorsport movie. Teetering on the edge of grip, keeping the speed through the corners, using the slipstream, looking ahead and planning the overtakes, taking the chance. None of this "oh i want to go faster i'll change up a gear and press the right pedal that wasn't flat to start with ffs.
man...i just stopped breathing for a whole minute... agressive. Dont know how respectful are the other drives, but seems that they do not change lines and retreat at any attack. It was an amazing start by the way. 😁 Or he is racing with other class pilots...or his car is just waaay more powerful than the others. Huge difference in acceleration even mastering the track...is difficult that the other guys do not know it also...
Unbelievable drive…were the guys at the end lap traffic? I feel like you won, but I don’t know! Just a little text box position tracker would be great!
Richard, two questions. What stuffup did you make to get such a crap grid pos :) and what's with the dodgy 1970 date? Regardless, I bet you enjoyed that drive. I sure did LOL.
Carro bem acertado equipe de parabéns. Piloto atrasando as freadas e acelerando até o último ponto, aproveita bem o vácuo dos outros esperando até o último para sair de trás e ultrapassar. 'bem audacioso'. Parece conhecer bem a pista. É piloto da casa ou treina com frequência nesta pista?
i'm what they call a racing expert, i've taken hundreds of laps on this race course on Gran Turismo so i know.... You're supposed to plow into anybody within crashing distance in a maneuver called crash to pass, also when somebody tries to pass you, you crash them. You passed a lot of people and nobody even dive bombed you, for more realism you have to wipe out all those cars that you passed, just plow into them like a missle and send them into the guardrail at mach speed and they'll get a barrier penalty
And this video here boys and girls of the future is how you Drive it like you stole it! Man drove the absolute wheels off that unit getting past the whole field
Only hans device on this formula ?its a tragedy in itself that it always takes a mistake and not fantastic diving like this to change thingswell done num 36 on the grid (class)
I loved watching this. It was a very exciting and skillful drive. Aggressive but measured. Another lap, or another long straight and you would have been the front runner. Great drive.

Truly incredible video quality for August, 1970.
Man, I still remember that 8 December... truly memorable 70s race.
Looks more like December to me
If it would be recorded in 1970 - then Intercontinental GT Challenge came back from the future. 🤣 Their first year was 2016, and they do advertise on the track 😁
Incredible driving!!!
1970 ???
I remember that day, exactly 12 of August, 1970. Kodak just released new colour film, don't remember the name unfortunately.
Anyone else find themselves yelling "go mate goooo" towards the end? Absolutely mad skills and a well sorted machine. Great to watch and thanks Richard. Cheers - Dave
Obviously a good car but what shone through was your sheer commitment and self belief, well done.
He trusted the car too.
Damn it looks like a video game with AI level set to easy 😜 Great driving

They took fuel samples of the top 5 and mine was legal

Just love the commentary! Excellent.
This is so impressive
I’m a huge fan all of a sudden. Love hearing them turbos kicking in
Wow just wow
How come this guy was not on pole position?! Awesome driving 👏
I'm not used to seeing so much passing and a spec class... Homeboy's got a motor. And that pass at 4:40...🤬 Beautiful & Ballzy🍺
Hi Rich! Awesome video man! Superb driving as always, and wow, bloody Bathurst Dude! I Wish I was there wrenching too! Hope you have a great week :)
- did something let go at the end of the last lap?
All the Best out there Richard, keep posting updates too! :)
Great drive. Well done to you Sir.
Not that anyone should really need reminding but this camera view certainly does - McPhillamy Park is definitely a corner for grown ups.
Brave man running Hoosiers in this day and age with how they last. xD
Nice to see someone that knows how to use the gas pedal.
These cars make this track seem actually fun and not terrifying lol. Nice video
My man's racing with the easy mode activated
Looks like a multicĺass race :)
Great drive. I'm guessing you had qualifying issues of some sort..
Yeah I did, fuel pump
Awesome lines! Where you end up finishing?
Amazing driving! And great track, I know it from sim racing :)
Best wishes
Bravo Richard 👏
Like a man possessed, super drive
Bloodstains, Rich Girls, and Cheap Thrills .... thats whats up...
Eres muy bueno. No entiendo como saliste tan atrás. Alguna penalización quizás?
Karting without suicide, superkarts maybe, just a ghess, good tyre management btw
Making moving through the pack look easy when anyone who has been in a real race knows it's anything but! Solid drive my dude. Respect.
With a rocketship engine it's a little easier

the engine builder did a superior job because that car seemed to have big HP.
👍🏻that thing pulls like a train.
Possibly, but he was also carrying more speed through the corners then the rest of them - that's like free horsepower.

No it looks more like Jim Clark.
@@lancemurdoc6744 Agree with you.... Senna would be more agressive.
This is pure Mansell
@@oneandonlyjaybee kkkkk... yep!
Excellent drive Richard..... great to watch. You went past me on the first lap like I was standing still (#99) :)

Went to find you on the video: 2:40 time
Great stuff 👍

no motor your age anyone can have a passion for cars and bikes

But senility and poor argumentation are clearly not limited to those of advancing years 😄
Anyone that quotes Nigel Mansell must have noticed the livrea of one of the cars, clearly Mclaren "Malboro" super famous livrea from the 80s and 90s

Not sure if he just carries speed well rather than a faster engine but yeah, so good.
More enjoyable to watch than a present day F1 GP
Who built that engine?
And did it get a post race tear down for scrutineering?
Great drive.
Did you qualify out of place? Plenty of drivers giving you space on the first lap or so.
I was wondering the same thing. Reverse grid? Probably not, but a bit of an embarrassing display of driving supremacy nonetheless.
Superb drive, shame you had to start at the back. What brand chassis is this? I see every type F.F. in the field as you pass by.
Nice driving! So you came 2nd from P36 on the grid? Why did you qualify so far back, as a lot of those guys were way slower? You didn't even have to stay on the racing lineuntil the last 10 or so.

Looked like a top 10 from 36th. Kinda nuts.
Bathurst, with fragile FF open-wheels = lots of courage
O CARA É BOM .
TEM CHANCE NA FÓRMULA 1 .
PARABÉNS MOLEQUE !
This is literally how my cat feels at 3am😹. Superb driving skills there, very aggressive in the corners too! Love it. Beautifully done👍
That's great camera quality for August 12th, 1970 😅
Great driving, though. Love seeing this kinda stuff!
What brilliant driving capabilities you show off, there! Amazing stuff!

whats the point of these cars? Teach you to race without downforce? Entry level i guess?
Lots of drivers with completely white / blank helmets.
The driving is insane, to the limit.
Incredible quality video for the year 1650. And they lie to us that the car was invented in the 19th century.😡
Bro that yellow flag at the end must of been so annoying. Looked like you hade a run to maybe overtake into the final corner.
16:10 - 16:41 (expecially from 16:25) shows some of the potentially scariest things I've ever seen on a racing track.
It's like watching a race from the 60's.
Only hans device on this formula ?its a tragedy in itself that it always takes a mistake and not fantastic diving like this to change thingswell done num 36 on the grid (class)
I don't think the video is from 1970 I think the cars are from 1970
Momentum is your friend
i will never get used to formula ford's body
first saw it in toca race driver 2, and it still looks odd to me
flooring the gas with 2 wheels on the grass in the beginning is wild man! Makes me feel like it’s a sim
1970 , honestly you modifiy f1 engine to make time engine 🤣. Nice video , I like it 💙.
lol Camera reads 1970
I loved watching this. It was a very exciting and skillful drive. Aggressive but measured. Another lap, or another long straight and you would have been the front runner. Great drive.
That was amazing and almost surreal. Like a sim race against weak AI
Well well well , Obviously Qualifying u where wearing a blind fold 2 fool the others
Thats not 1970 the hotel at the end of conrod straight was not built then and the chicane on the straight was not there then
Damn, the speed you kept through the apex. You got shot out of a cannon coming out of the turns.
This is how Singleplayer vs AI set to medium looks like.
That day and day in the left hand corner is not right they put that in there
Did you accidentally leave the difficulty setting on easy? 🤣
tf were u doing in quali man 😂
I think he was learning the track in Qually 😂😂 honestly, first time at Bathurst.
Bro did 18 overtakes in the first lap alone!!! Holy cow!!!
Might need to turn up the ai difficulty next time Richard 🤣
Todos de motor 1600 e o cara de motor 2000 tá na cara que tá fora !! 😂😂
You obviously have enough motor. But good job chap
I think the AI level is set too low :) Great driving!
Porqué no usan slicks???
Corro en motos en Chile y no usamos por economía. Son carísimos. Supongo acá tendrán un problema parecido y optaron por normalizar las gomas con dibujo
Was this a reverse grid race? Certainly looked like it.
You would have seen a lot of cigarette ads
This is actually Alain Prost in one of his earlier races!
Pretty great video quality for 1970.
how old are u so I can see if u can go to formula one because u good
Why it looks less realistic than asseto corsa?😂
what happened at the end? What position did he start/finish?
