From the back of the VHS box:
"Bathurst, 1988, was an horrendous experience for me and my ANZ Sierra Team.
I've been to The Mountain many times, but it's something I'll never forget. My first attack on the race was in 1969 at the wheel of a Factory GT-HO Falcon and I've been fortunate enough to win the classic endurance race four times.
The closest I have ever come to not winning was 1988.
With co-drivers, Greg (sic) Hansford and Klaus Niedzwiedz, we stamped our authority on the race, mounting a carefully planned approach.
We led for 99 laps and there was no way anyone could have overhauled us on the road - we had it in out hands.
And, then, within sight of the flag, a five dollar head gasket failed, and our chances went out the window. It was an awful moment.
The agony of watching the mechanics trying to re-start the car while another driver took the lead was, perhaps, the most hurtful moment of my long motor racing career.
Initially, I didn't like the idea of a professional video crew watching my every move at Bathurst, but the idea has worked well.
For me personally, it's a harrowing and powerful reminder of Mount Panorama's ability to bite, and bite hard.
This video will open your eyes to what it takes behind the scenes to win - or lose - the 1000 kilometers of Bathurst" - Allan Moffat
I don't own the copyright to this video, but it also hasn't been available for purchase in decades.
Footage is deinterlaced from VHS at 50fps.
Alan Moffat : Determined. Meticulous. Passionate. Great bloke. 👍
That was an excellent documentary on the Allan Moffat ANZ race team, giving us all an insight of the highs and lows of motor racing. Thanks to Allan Moffat for the many great races over the decades. 👍😁🇦🇺
As the person who put the film together, let me add a. brief note on Moffat's emotional display in the Bathurst pits post race. As the camera rolled, I could sense that he was close to tears. A female ANZ communication expert who was was watching the unfolding scene, grabbed me by the arm and demanded that the camera shut down. I ignored her and I'm glad I did. Moffat's heartfelt emotional display about the viciousness of Bathurst was simply amazing. Moffat had the guts to put his raw emotions on public display. I admired him then and I still admire him now.
Les, that's a marvelous comment. Well done you for keeping the camera rolling. And you are quite correct in saying that he's a better, and greater man for showing his emotions. I came to racing too late to see any of his races as they happened, but I have nothing but respect and admiration for him. I understand he has dementia now, but is being well cared for., as he should be.
Incredible story, thanks for sharing. And thanks for putting the film together.
I always loved it as a kid, watched it multiple times and it was so good that when I got some old tapes from my parent's place I had to get it uploaded it when I couldn't find it online anywhere.
Thanks Les, this is an important film, documenting one of motor racing's true treasures taking part in the great race in the days when it really was great.
This is an incredible video that shows the vulnerability of a racing legend. Thank you for posting it.
What an increadable video , you could feel the joys the pain of Moff all throughout it he was indeed an increadable man, driver and manager Thank you Allan for giving Australia so much joy, and a special thank you the Gregg H he was indeed a great young man so much missed like many others
That ANZ Sierra of Moff's and DJ's Shell Sierra are two of the best looking Touring cars of all time.
Going back and watching the old ATCC and Bathurst races you always saw Moffat cool and composed, wether he was winning or losing, so to see him so emotional and fighting off tears is so unnexpected. Great documentary.
Thank you allan
What a fantastically-presented car that was.
They virtually had this race in the bag. Just goes to show that its not over until its over.
yeh well,, holdens have to win,,even if they ''legally'', cheat.. all the time.. brock raced a sierra, without ford badges,,says it all.. most holdens, toranas, commodores ran ford 9'',, no fkn salisbury or 12 bolt, would stand up to that.. hq racing, using ford cranks.. holdens are a fkn joke.. sierra, 4 laps ahead, banned,, holdens, with side draughs, legal.. 9'' diffs, v8 brakes on 6 cyl,. but thats o.k.. eh..
Great video (quality as well) Moffat is one of my favorites, thank you for the upload
Moffat was a sook a cry baby a little man but one of the races legends dedicated his whole life to winning this race.
@gavinwj7923
Can't seem to find any of your life achievements mate..
Moffitt had the balls to have a go.
Yeah i mean, the guy won ATCC titles, Bathurst and sandown enduros, races in USA in Trans AM under carroll shelby's wing and even campaigned in europe with his biggest rival Peter Brock showing the world what australia can do. The guy was great for his time and he deserves all the credit and accolades such as the OBE he received. @@gavinwj7923
Thanks for posting.
Great docco. I didn't know anything this comprehensive and revealing about Bathurst existed.
Watched this movie on the train and bus yesterday but saved the last 15 minutes for before I went to sleep last night, because I knew it would be heartbreaking. A couple of things I’d like to mention:
1) Has no one taught him to make his bed before he leaves the house in the morning?😳
2) The part at the end when he shows his feelings and says he loves his team is extraordinary in such a hard nosed business where any expression of such emotion is considered weak and unmasculine. It really touched my heart.
I recall this race very well and it was just as agonising watching Moffatt's emotions the second time around - he will always be Ford's King of the Mountain.
Terrific. Thanks for posting.
Amazing video.
Such a well put together film. Whoever put the piano in the soundtrack should be kicked down a flight of stairs but everything else was superb.
You speak the truth, that piano music in a doco about Bathurst is ridiculous....
It would have been awsome if Moffat and Brock won that 1986 race
Great doco , you did ford proud allan.
Best part was watchin an animated Rudi in the pits when Klaus was running in the top twelve shootout. And Rudi proved he did know English when he said he was happy. Up until then most of the Australian media believed he didnt speak English
It really showed Oz Media in a true light, being that they are pretty thick .Most Swiss are multi lingual .
I like the old codger at the start does a double take on Moffat, I guess they probably set that up for the video though..
...go Saskatoon 🇨🇦 !
Does anyone know the date of this excellent documentary please?
Documentary about 1988 Bathurst 1000. Released early 1989 on VHS video.
Never seen this before. You can tell how much this defeat hurt Moffat. To get that close and be let down by a blown head gasket. Gutting.
Ha ha a RS2000 Mk 2 escort behind the 2 falcons at the finish in 77
get off the pipe. only finished behind them on the track, not in track position. The Escort was 20 laps behind them! A Holden LX Torana SS A9X Hatchback driven by Larry Perkins and Peter Janson finished third.
@@davidewhite69
The Sierras and Skylines wiped out all your dinosaur local junk ,made the yobbos have a sook
a9x, with a ford 9''.. or they wouldnt do 2 laps..@@davidewhite69
Get rid of that whoeful music,,, one of the worst scores to ruin a doco.
Moffat lived and breathed Bathurst at the end he described the cars failure as a year of his life flew by . Yes he's a sook a cry baby and a little man but dedicated to our great race
No he is a man who tried and succeeded he tried and failed showing great courage. The little man is the no one who sits and watches and without the courage to try the great risk that may give great failure and or great reward
Strange that you should describe him as sook. It's good to be able to cry and importantly show and talk your emotions. Just look at the damage to people and relationships that occurred with previous generations not talking. But Moffat is a great man and should be recognised as such.
Yeah ok big lad, settle down
Yeah alright whatever ya twonk
Had the pleasure to actually meet Allan about 10 years ago we talked about the rx7s and he signed My two 118 model Ford cobras funny I never got excited about meeting dick Johnson cheers Stephen 🤠⭐,🐨🦘🐎🐎🐎🐎
