In this classic moment of The Great Race. One of the best known memory's

Towards the end of the race the Safety Car Officials muck up the racing field as they don't no who needs to be on the lead up or not. As the Safety comes out Lowndes makes a pit stop yet the cars were not waved by. Larry Perkins and the Castrol Racing crew were not happy one bit. And the Coke-Cola Racing Team were trying to fight the officials about the rule. Hope you enjoy

(Once again in 4.3 Ratio)

Yep, the officials actually got it right. If the pace car is unable to pick up the leader it picks up the very next car encountered - regardless of their position in the race. Not much Gardner could do about it, Neil Crompton tried to block Lowndes from lapping him and only needed 3 more corners to do it but the HRT car was too fast.

adrenalinmatt1 · « **Reply #15 on:** December 16, 2009, 11:05:18 am »

For some reason i could not Quote on your comment there but yeah

Nothing much the Coke car could do about but i thought the Officials had it wrong there

. Seemed like it was there mistake and not the teams.

POWERZONE · « **Reply #16 on:** December 16, 2009, 01:09:54 pm »

I guess the best way to look at it is if the pace car comes out to pick up the leader what happens if that car pits or crashes, breaks down etc? They could wait until the car placed in second outright catches up but until then the track would be technically unsafe for that much longer so the next logical step would be to grab the next car in the queue.

Not sure if that happens today though...

Larry was lucky enough to get away before the next pace car session happened and Neil wasn't. Bit of a shame Ingall beached Larry's car earlier in the day because that thing (with it's original undertray length) was quick when it needed to be.

Iknow this is not apart of Bathurst in anyway but i had no where else to put this video,

Now this video is in 4.3 Aspect Ratio so if you would like to view full 4.3 Aspect Ratio just double click on the video and it will go to the Youtube URL of the video

This was a classic Intro done by Channel 7. Some of the Australian Touring Car Championship Drivers of the 1986 Series took part in this race. The Spa 24hr race is hard and challenging for any driver. But with some Aussies in the filed some drivers talk about the race ahead. I hope you enjoy this classic Introduction to the race

adrenalinmatt1 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 23, 2009, 01:01:20 pm »

Here is the Start of the Spa 24hr Race of 1986. Australian's Peter Brock in the #5 H.D.T Started in 13th Position, Allan Grice Started in the top 5. The Rovers are in the top 2. So from Rovers to Australia's Holden Commodores how will the Australian's go in the biggest race of Europe? I hope you enjoy

his clip has loads of action with cars going all over the place as a massive down poor of rain hits Wanneroo Raceway. The drivers were surprised of how heavy the rain was and got caurght out on slick tires. You will also see Crompton talk like he has never talked before! I hope you enjoy this great clip
