A few laps short.

[Rob 18]

How many times has the winner of the Bathurst 1000 not gone the full 161 (or pre chase 163) laps to be awarded the winner of the race ??

 

[Racin Jason]

3 Times
1981
1987
1992

 

[Fordlover]

all three races saw major pileups too, 1981 at Mcphillamy, 1987 at reid Pk (AFAIK) and 1992 at the elbow.

 

[Rob 18]

Yep.. That was a tad easy wasn't it??? Although I though the 87 one might have tricked a few but like usual, everyone on here's to bloody clever!!

 

[Racin Jason]

'87 was also memorable for some sensational wet weather driving from a young Glenn Seton.

Now I am starting to sound like Seton Fanatic!

 

[Seton Fanatic]

That's the spirit!

The 2 laps of racecam footage of Glen in 87 is in my opinion the best bit of racecam footage ever.
Fantastic to watch and fantastic commentery from Mike Raymond.

 

[Seton Fanatic]

I'm not sure the commentary was fantastic. I more remember Mike panicking that his confident assertion about karters was going to go horribly astray against a concrete wall. But as you say, great piece of driving and racecam coverage.

 

[Bigcol]

In 87 Brock killed 05, jumped in the number 10 car and finished 3 laps down on the later disqualified Eggenberger Sierras

 

[Rob 18]

Brock take over the 2nd car & leave one of the original steerers without a ride [?][?][?]Never.. Brock....he wouldn't do that would he..[)][)][)]

Wonder how christmas parties are over at his brother Phil's [B)][B)][B)][B)]

 

[Racin Jason]

C'mon fellas don't start me off on "GOD" Brock! I won't stop!

In fact I can feel another thread coming on!!!!

I still have Bathurst 1987 on video (not a good one for DJR) and that footage of a 22yr old Glen Seton is awesome. I still watch those few laps occassionally. He also had a great dice earlier in the race (in the dry) with George Fury and the two JPS Bimmers.

Seto has always been interesting to watch on RaceCam...the eye twitch through left-hand corners, the chewing of the drink straw and hearing him talk the car through corners [8D].

 

[MRJUCY]

One thing I've noticed about Glenn in the last couple of years is he doesn't look as relaxed & comfortable behind the wheel as he used to. When he was younger you'd swear he was driving to pick up the milk he made Lowndes look frantic.
That in-car of him talking himself around talking about himself in the 3rd person from around 2000 odd at ?Winton? is crack up.

 

[ROB17]

Yes it was from Winton MrJuicy. I have that footage lying around somewhere too. I must dig it out again...
