Bathurst was an extension to this man ! Best driver around the mountain bar none . The dude handled a drift around that corner with just the right wheel as the left one was off the ground and controlled it like it was nothing . Absolute madness!

Man the 90’s cars were raw… Running rich, flames, backfires, loud As F… The handling wasn’t quite there either, I forgot how lively they were at speed compared to todays V8 Supercars. That was insane through the chase! Great video!

There's been so many good drivers who have battled this mountain over the years, but this is one of those tracks that just has an almost spritual effect on people. The TV footage really doesn't do it justice, it is just unbelievable how fast these guys are around there, and how little room there is for error on most of the track. If you ever go to Mount Panorama and see the track for yourself it just blows you away. But the good thing about a track like this is it hasn't really changed at all in it's history (the turns at the end of Conrod straight are a modern addition from the earlier version), and because there is a lot of footage of races we can easily compare different generations of racecars. But whether it's old laps of Brocky in an boat of a Commodore at 11/10ths, or Murphy or McLaughlin in more modern cars but still wringing the thing's neck, they're all just as good to watch and leave you just shaking your head. And that's just one track 😆

Magnificent driving to the limit full throttle sadly missed a true legend 😢

An Australian driver combined with one of the greatest Australian product, world's greatest track, in Australia. The passion in this video is absolutely inspiring. I really wish to build the whole package back here in my country of Sri Lanka

You see the deep breath approaching the cutting, that was a wing and a prayer moment! Balls and all!

WOW. Thats hands down one of the best if not THE best top 10 lap shoot out Ive ever seen. That was kick ass on the edge driving. The man is truly a Legend. As is Holden.

One of the most exciting laps of Bathurst ever. It still manages to give me shock-horror over the top of the mountain sequence. I met Peter at the Auckland airport; we were on the same flight to Wellington where he raced the Wellington Street Race. Thoroughly interesting and warm human being, it was no trouble to stop and share a little about motor racing.

Long live the 90’s… The last of Australian V8 Touring Car culture at its rivalry best. It’s just not the same anymore. Back then you were either a Ford man a Holden man or a weirdo.

Was there for the race, on top of the mountain that year, the sound of 8000rpm Holden motors, which is I will never forget, and in the end the only car faster to the chequered flag was the gtr nissan.

Holy fuck! That's awesome

Damn... That’s livin’ on the edge 😁

How the rubber laid down out of the elbow…! Loved watching Brock “ having a red hot go !”

nothing to say...been said many times. Owned Bathurst. Did not matter whether you were a Ford or Holden man.The fact is we will never see the like again.

What an absolute legend!!!!! That whole lap was amazing but the Frog Hollow - Skyline section was fucked!!!!! On two wheels at McPhillamy Park!?!?!???? What a lunatic!!!!!

Unbelievable car control!! Wow! Peter perfect

Joe Shabidu, mine is a VP 1992. The one racing above is a VN SS. The model was called the SS5000 I think. I had a VN SS 5000 as a work vehicle. My NV was stock. The VN V6 came out in 1988 and the V8 came out in 1990. I have owned a lot of Holdens. The one that I love the most was my 1985 VK Calais Director - Fully work and stroked into a 5700. My wife took it shopping and some low life stole from the Macquarie Shopping Centre at Ryde (now Called Macquarie).

Classic Brock

Brutal! Thx Max!

What be interesting is set the current crop of supercar drivers in identical car to Peter and compare times. See how they match up against Peter's time.

You would really have to search for video of a lap as perceivably crazy and on the limit the whole time as this.

He's a pure art knows how make the sing when needs to best driver we had no disrespect Johnson , Bowe crew

Just wow...

Yes! :D

The fact he needs to use the steering wheel on straights reflects how exciting this era was, it's so stale now.

Watch from 1:28 in particular, nothing being left on the table

Like he stole it.. Quite the operator ✈

From skyline to conrod straight is scary as shit on a push bike lol. The best thing is seeing the cars pass in front of you and then almost teleport down conrod straight.

He's literally stopping himself from drifting through some of these corners to not get d/q. Would've been a great Fast n Furious character. I used to sell newspapers on 1000 weekends at that track :)

Epic driving by Brocky'. Bathurst, my favourite race bar none. To see the Aussies hustle these big cars up to 180mph is special. I think the V8 Supercar drivers are massively underrated, it's the best racing on the telly.

Dave, yes, they are awesome beasts. I've been fortunate enough to spend 100s of hours driving something similar, a more modern day Holden Commodore race car. They are the Middle-East variety, not as advanced as the modern Aussie cars but all the better for it. I do High Speed passenger rides for a company called The Racing School and we use them for that. There is also lots of videos on my channel from the Middle-East Championship.

I was there on the Mountain that year. It sounded awesome pushing it hard across the top. Shame in the Race the car had electrical issues when he got back in after fixing it in the pits Brock was really pushing it then.

great footage , I was fan of Brock since the L34 days , I think this shows Peak Brock , sadly not long after this his pace started to fall away which is only to be expected as one ages and reflexes slow . By the time the VR/VS days arrived he was still quick but didnt take the risks . I just wish once retired he stayed that way. The VX comeback was embarrassing . But he was a huge part of aussie motorsport . I loved touring car racing for years but havent followed for the last 5 or so years , maybe its because I have grown older too but the current series is a joke . Too bad ......

Great vid a shame you did not get the interview and lap time .

Great effort that drive - several mistakes cost him - 3.4 seconds off the pace.

He had the setup for a full tank and forgot to set it for the shootout and that’s why it got a bit loose

Back when there was no aero to help them out

man sometimes i wish the commentators would shut the fuck up and let me listen to that beautiful v8 being driven beautifully by one of australia’s greats, gone too soon. rip brocky
