What a Race! I still own a bright Orange GTR that I've owned since 1983 with an XU1 spec motor putting out 232hp @6000 238ft/lb@3600. Not too sure what Brockys motor was putting out in 72...probably 250+. Love the attention I get when taking it out for a drive. Don;t think I'll ever sell her! Beautiful cars!
I still think the LJ GTR XU-1 was the pick of all the 'Supercar' era jobs GT-HO Phase 3 overrated LJ was small, nimble, VERY adequate power, and a bloody Giant killer. Who cares what is fastest or has highest speed Not completely relevant in a racing scenario. It's gotta be a fine tuned balance of the whole package. Light means less strain on mechanicals and consumables Plus they look like a mid size Great White and came in FANTASTIC colours... I take purple, Waiter!
Bought my LC in 91 as i was finishing high school. Still own the old girl, she is such a weapon. Glad there are a few of us oldies still holding on to them. Enjoy your car mate!
He was very stupid to take on a completely different concept in racing. He should never have gone into rally driving, they are a different breed, Brock wasn't qualified for that class in my opinion. He should still be alive today if he stuck to what he was best at.
@@stevej6813 Hi Steve, I don't know enough about motor racing(or rallycross; I presume that is what its called) to be able to give you a constructive opinion. Therefore, based on your reply, you're probably right.
@johnfoster7626 It's just my opinion too John. I'm no expert either with car racing but I am an experienced road motorcycle rider and I've done a little bit of trail bike riding. My point here is I would never get on a trail bike, take to the bush participating in a race as I'm not experienced enough in that setting, but of course I could confidently race on a bitumen track with one of my road bikes because I'm comfortable on those and I know what I'm doing. Brock was a very skilled driver on bitumen with safety barriers in place, he wasn't skilled enough on dirt with 10,000 trees around him. As I said mate, just merely my opinion based on my experiences. It's healthy to have these discussions with people though such as yourself to get different perspectives on things. It's interesting.
@@stevej6813 For once I can have an amicable discussion with someone. And, once again, you're probably right. Brocky conquered the mountain 9 times, a feat that hasn't, and potentially won't ever be equalled. But as you said Steve, he took on a new challenge in a field he wasn't all that familiar with, and he sadly paid the ultimate price. Now, in saying all of this, you and I would both agree that motor racing is regarded as 1 of the most dangerous sports in the world. And Brocky could just as easily have been killed doing a lap around Mt Panorama. In saying this participating in an area of motor racing he wasn't completely familiar with didn't help.
Wonderful. This is when Bathurst had relevance. On a Monday morning you could go to a Holden dealer and put a deposit on a Torana GTR-XU1 knowing it was to all intents and purposes similar to the racing car. Now days there is no comparison. Only the outer shells bear any resemblance to the showroom car.
Thank you so much for posting. Absolutely magic. Shit weather, battling Toranas, Chargers and Falcons it had it all. Wonderfull to see little Mazdas and Datsuns in amongst the madness too. It is still exciting racing to watch even after all theses years. The same cant be said of V8 Supercars.
I was born in this great year it's hard to think that we are two years of fifty years since this race was run but even though so many years have passed it's never old as they say !!! Great things don't age they just mature with time. Thank you Bondy for this awesome footage. HOLDEN 👍👍👍💗💛🖤💚💙❤❤💝♥💞💜👌😉🌧☔PETER BROCK LEGEND. PS that crash was terrible Bondy would have had a shitty afternoon.
@425i are you sure ‽¿‽ Like I know he had his driver's licence and cams licence but is that any real guarantee of ability ‽¿‽ For example I'll ass u me you have a driver's licence and I am sure you can't really drive. Just the same as you're probably married (sure maybe not for the 1st time) but she/they? were lying when they/she😉 said, "You're the best lover ever". You weren't even top 20 EVER 😄😃😊🍆🍆🍆
The team put together by the great Leo Geoghegan. The clip that shows the Chacha being pushed out of the pits has a brief glimpse of Ian "Pete" Geoghegan who was a co driver and one of the very best Mustang drivers we ever had...RIP to the Geoghegan Brothers.
So bloody Aussie! Not many street versions of those cars left. When I was 18 in early 80's everyone bought an SLR TORANNA, 351 FORD, A CHARGER. Most got wrecked, too much oversteer, d-head driver. One mate I had couldn't quite afford a GTHO or a HDT Commodore, bought an XU1 TORANNA. It was a rocket. Unfortunately, he crashed it and died within 6 months. Sad, it was an awesome car, our mate was an ok bloke too.
This is the real Bathurst. An endurance race for production cars. The new format.. V8 Supercars .. is boring & too far removed from the reality of the average car buyer.
I agree that the racing now is nowhere near as good as it was.. But unfortunately in the old format the sport was financially a lemon and sponsors were very hard to find. The V8 Supercars format has been able to attract dollars and deliver a level of professionalism simply never met in the years of Group A, Group C, and so on.
"...and sponsors were very hard to find". Rubbish! In the days of cigarette advertising sponsors were easy to find. What *was* hugely different is that motor racing then was not primarily aimed at a TV audience. These days, without television, series such as the Supercars would be dead overnight.
It sure is the real Bathurst and with "REAL" cars that people could go and buy on Monday after the race. Holden versus Ford is history. The people's race has been taken over by corporate greed and US style racing. I watch V8 Supercars on TV but I will never go to a race track to watch them. Besides, the worlds greatest venue for racing cars (Mt Panorama) and in particular the hill is not even a shadow of it's former self. I hate getting old and watching the world lose it's personality
Read about it and seen other highlights but that was the most complete video of one of the greatest david vs goliath battles in motorsport. Damn I miss my old Tory.
I bought a Bathurst LJ XU1 in 1972 and it certainly turned heads in those days. I drove it in car club events at Calder and Winton Raceways eventually replaced the 202 engine with a 308. However it was a pig of a car with terrible brakes, lots of understeer and harsh suspension. How they raced them I don't know but I loved the racing back then with real street cars.
you could buy up most of bathurst,s real estate today!! ,with the 2019 value of all the falcon phase 3,s ,e49 chargers ,torana xu1,s in the 1972 field!
great racing, i was only little when i watched this race with my dad, well i think it was this one. Great video which is ruined by shyte background music.
Transporters,, open trailer or a tilt back Ford. People standing NOT looking at their phones!! And cars that you could tell the difference from about 3k away,, the skinny things were Toranas or Escorts. Those Fords look huge and really are not, and the Chargers too. Chrysler pit crew taking a minute longer than Holden, floor jacks and wheelbraces! A pity we will not see it ever again, Even clubbie enduros use electric rattle guns and the like
The racing recipe that should never have changed. Performance model + roll cage + good tune = you cant go wrong. This clinical crap we watch now is ridiculously expensive and effectively there is no difference between all the cars. Yes folks we call it super cars and no you can't go to your local dealer and buy one.
They called the XU1 Torana the giant killer. Now, what would have happened if the weather had have stayed fine. History may, or may not have been rewritten. The Allan Moffat Falcon potentially( or most likely) would have won. But thats not how it worked out. The XU1 Torana is highly regarded as 1 of the greatest motor vehicles ever built.
Not true mate...this race is about reliability and endurance ,the fords had more problems than just the weather if you watched the race ... the Torrie truly deserved the win and the title of giant killer...
@@noeldenney7782 I'm not saying it didn't. And just for your information I actually owned an LJ Torana and it was a terrific little car with a ton of grunt under the bonnet. And yes, you are absolutely correct. The falcons did have several problems, particularly in the braking area. However, ACCORDING to some information I found about that race the Falcons weren't as nimble in the wet weather as the Toranas were. Just to be clear I'm NOT taking anything away from the XU1 Torana's Bathurst win. And, with a little help from arguably the greatest race car driver we will ever produce, the XU1 Torana has cemented its place in history and is highly regarded as 1 of the greatest motor vehicles ever built.
+iraceitall,, ..classic bodywork, those were the days, haha. & I'll bet the remains of that guard is still a momento hangin on a shed wall somewhere too ;)
The '70s,'80s & '90s were the truley exciting great years of Bathurst ,now the over regulated, over modified standardisation all cars same brakes, same tyres, same transmission now some guy in the pits on a computer controlling tactics. 72 Harry Firth, reliable car and great driver, and some luck all that was needed. V8 supercars boring.
All were Productiion cars except Brocks holden and the toranas. This was the time Series Production was run by GMH. NO TORANA WAS EVER SOLD FROM THE FACTORY WITH TRIPLE WEBERS.
or the hp, or brake system, later commodores had 9' diffs, & the a9x,s.hence, the drop tank, so you cant see it,,even though, you cant buy a std holden with a drop tank,,so,,is this illegal.???. holdens cheated..period..
they had 4 sp in u.s. illegal here,,but holdens could use chevs & 9' diffs, with v8 brakes on the 6cyl cars. its rigged..ford sierras, 4 laps ahead,,,,,banned.. wander why..
