Brock and XU-1: First Bathurst Win
$30.00
Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the King’s first win in the mighty Xu-1 Torana. Peter Brock is part of Bathurst folklore and his first win in The Great Race in 1972 remains one of the most popular stories in Australian touring car racing history. This DVD features a 30 minutes telecast of rarely seen highlights from Network Seven direct when Brock and the XU-1 Torana conquered Allan Moffat and his works Falcon. As a special bonus, witness another 30 minutes of rarely seen vision of the 1973 Hardie Ferodo 1000 as Brock came perilously close to back-to-back victories. Both are in black and white but fully capture rare and previously unreleased vision of two of the Mountain’s most famous races.
The Boys are Back at Bathurst’s Mount Panorama, and proved that nothing shakes the Mountain like V8 Supercars. This new release highlights the Holden vs Ford classic battles from 1997-2001 – they raced for four years in November and the fifth back to the traditional October.
Highlights are:
1997 – Perkins won his sixth Bathurst in a Commodore, his partner, Ingall, won for the first time. Also, Peter Brock’s last race.
1998 – The Bright/Richards Falcon claimed The Great Race prize in a true thriller, a victory against the odds.
1999 – The Richards/Murphy VT Commodore outlasted the field in back-to-back wins for Richards Dick Johnson’s last appearance.
2000 – The Bargwanna/Tander Commodore conquered the Mountain in the most evenly contested 1000 for years.
2001 – Skaife and Longhurst achieved Holden’s 21st victory at The Great Race in one of the fastest 1000 events to date.
