It features original TV stories from the widely acclaimed ‘4 Corners’ current affairs Program, which have not been seen since they were first broadcast in black and white more than three decades ago.
Travel back in time to a race meeting at Sydney’s Oran Park Raceway in September 1970 as the work teams prepare for the big Bathurst 500 race.

The vision is built around the Australian Touring Car Championship meeting at Melbourne’s Sandown Park.
There’s not only more great race footage here, but also interviews with Alan Moffat, Bob Jane, Mike Gore and others.
There’s also more thrilling 1960’s Series Production racing action from Sydney’s Warwick Farm Raceway, with Monaro GTSs and Falcon GTs mixing it with Mini Coopers in a classic â??David vs Goliath’ battle on a very wet race day.
