I believe before the 1996 Bathurst 1000 the Commodore had a parity adjustment and it's front undertray got trimmed and that reduced downforce that's why Larry Perkins is running a VP Commodore which was unaffected, Larry love's the rule books lol
Seton was brainwashed by his doddering old fool and ford tragic father bo to keep driving ford shit. If he’d gone to holden with Perkins or hrt he would’ve EASILY won a few Bathursts but his dad would’ve lost his mind. Fairly typical of ford lovers. Look at Moffat, flogged dead horses for years after his staged one two in which Colin bond was told to slow down and let the BOSS win, and then ford ditched him. But even after being given a hand of friendship buy his arch enemy brock and going on to win the Nissan Mobil 500 in New Zealand in the Mobil vk he’s still a ford clown who thinks they were a wonderful car.
I love it when all these newbies to V8’s are like “ Craig Who?” whenever anyone compares to McGlaughlin to Lowndes. Lowndes was so fucking good in 96, yes I’ve been following since long before them. Craig has won his 7 being the lead driver, Jim Richards has amongst his 7, co driver wins. Brock has among his 9, wins where he comandered the number 2 car...Craig Lowndes is the real King of the mountain for me
Absolutely, when lowndes came along it was a massive impact to win all 3 the way he did as a rookie and to top it off HRT didn't have to cheat to win unlike another team
This actually came up in the V8Sleuth Podcast recently, so I can actually answer it. When they went away from Group A and went to 5.0L Touring Cars, Ford didn't have a locally sourced V8 powerplant, or at least one that had the capability of being a race engine, so they were allowed to source parts and engines through the Ford America division. Due to this, it was made legal for Holden to do the same through GM.
1:40 - if you didn't know what happened (and how gutting it was), you would think 'gee 9 laps is quite a lot to lose by, what the heck is this Canadian dude bangin on about'! Hope everyone's doing good and staying safe - special thoughts going out to Aus, dayumn i hope things get better quick.
@Its MiD That "Canadian dude", is 6 times Sandown winner 4 times Bathurst winner. I searched n searched your name on achievements.com Butt FLICK me sideways I could not find 1, I say ONE of your achievements AND And and There is a best looking turd category,,, you didn't get in the top 100. Me personally I think you should have made@least top 10, I think the lighting let you down. Better lighting next time🤞🤏D
@@distantcoff7391 obviously comprehension is not your strong point. Read what he said again and think why you look so stupid arguing about something he wasnt even saying....
I was there that weekend, was a very memorable time. I have full respect for Allan Moffat as a racing driver but his skill as a commentator is cringeworthy.
@Andrew Overton you are talking shit. Allan's commentary is first person account of exactly what is happening. Larko is the only one who comes close to that high quality commentary. You know who you remind me of ❓rolf harris
@@distantcoff7391 no denying Moffat’s passion. The difference between Moffat and Larko is Larko can actually articulate a sentence without tripping over his words. As for the Rolf Harris comment I think you really should step out of the dark low place you are in and focus on being a better human being. There’s enough social hate already.

Thanks for keeping the biggest moment in my Bathurst career ..JF

That's his F1 experience there. Show me a regulation and I'll show you a way around it.
Big poppa you know the detail bruh
Fantastic upload. Keep them coming!
One Word......
AWESOME!!!!!!
Glenn Seton is my hero, absolutely awesome stuff
That poor bastard deserved a a mountain win.

Captain Kaos cheer up clown 🤡
Nah the guys a flog, only claim to fame is crying on tv in95
Is that u seton fetish?
Great commentary.
Very nice video keep it up lmao
Do you have the footage of Wilko walking into the Peter Jackson grid girls dressing room and getting beaten up?
I can think of at least 2 reasons I'd wanna watch that .
Did that really happen?
Does Seaton have his helmet chinstrap done up?
I thought you were going to show the commercials... That would have really taken me back..
The first ford or Holden do to 300 KMs down the rod..
Wayne gardener will be angry with himself after that One
good old young garry wilkinson i wonder what he is up to lately is he still a alive
Alive and well
@@captainkaos754 i really like him
6 down votes...ok...?
Is this same year Longhurst went from 24th to 3rd in 1st lap (or was it 3laps?)??
I think you're thinking of 1997. He made up 20 positions in the first lap
Vformula one in the 1950s
Brock cool as a cucumber
15:32 so he's basically america's matt neal
0:28 ..
That's too bad for skaitey

It's a good point and often overlooked.

8:29 - why would their dash display the speed?!
Cause that’s kinda what’s it’s for
Usually it's just RPM ,temperature, and gear selection
Why are the commodore's running chev engines & not Holden engines?

The Fords ran their SVO heads and therefore the Holden’s ran SVO heads on the Chevrolet engine otherwise the Fords would have a HP advantage.
