Good ol' Uncle Doug Mullray. When he left radio, there was nothing more worth listening to, and he was an entertaining addition to the V8s commentary. What a time that was in Australian Motorsport. Brocky still at it, DJ still the big rival, Perkins and Longhurst the fast terriers hunting down the leaders. I really loved it back then. Has lost something compared to back then.

Lowndes himself will tell you that he was a good three seconds a lap slower before Brocky sat him down and told him where he could make up time. After their first chat Criag was 1.5 seconds quicker in the next session. I take your point that Craig could certainly drive before he met Brock but there is no doubting that without his tuition we may not know Craig Lowndes as a household name today.

Mat Gee The first time Craig went to Bathurst Brocky walked him around the track twice. The night they arrived with a few beers, pointing out the highlites, early the morning after before the first practice pointing out the dangers! Saw an interview with Craig maybe a year after Brock had gone and he explained the help Peter had passed on to him! Lowndes was Brocks apprentice, no doubt about that!

Here's two very alike careers: Gordon and Lowndes. They came out storming, won three championships in 4 seasons, showing talent. The series championships stopped kinda early for both, Lowndes even ran for a s***ty team in the early 2000's. But they remained winning, being forces of their categories, fighting for titles on many years

I think the 2L class was already pushed out to their category by this year. They started up the Australian Manufacturers Championship in 1994 which became the Australian Super Touring Championship in 1995. I'm not sure which was the last year of the ARDC Bathurst 1000 when the 2L class was invited, until (obviously) 1997 when the ARDC and V8 Supercars had a disagreement and the 2L class took over the entire Bathurst 1000 (with V8 Supercars running a second Bathurst 1000). Edit -- It seems that the 1995 and 1996 Bathurst 1000s were exclusively for Group 3A 5L cars, and the Super Tourers were not permitted to enter.

Been a Lowndes fan ever since this race, followed him to Ford, back to Holden, wouldn’t matter what he drove. No one can stalk the leader for 40 laps like Craig can, if he wasn’t pushing Reynolds for a good 30 laps, Reynolds would have cruised to victory. How good was it but watching Lowndes do the last lap on his own out in front. Pure gold. I am looking forward to seeing him and Whincup reunite next year. I reckon he can get to 10 wins.

I'm a Holden fan but consider this race the best ever Bathurst, classic Holden v Ford battle & whoever won it was going to have well deserved it & whoever came 2nd was going to be unlucky. Pity that bad luck came in the way of a back marker affecting the result but that's part of this race, still it would of been nice to have seen it actually coming down to the 2 drivers who were both doing a great job.

Imagine if a backmarker shown the blue flag cost an F1 driver a win? They would just about be banned for a race. Seems like bullshit to me, Lowndes could and should have been the youngest winner in that race, and have retired with an extra notch on his belt as of last week. Btw I still remember watching this race live and couldn't believe that move by Lowndes.

Lowndes himself will tell you that he was a good three seconds a lap slower before Brocky sat him down and told him where he could make up time. After their first chat Criag was 1.5 seconds quicker in the next session. I take your point that Craig could certainly drive before he met Brock but there is no doubting that without his tuition we may not know Craig Lowndes as a household name today.

SVG is piece of shit.. Dirtiest driver of the modern event and probably the most hated driver because of it... If any other driver pulled half of the stupid shit on a race track like SVG does they'd be hit with a stop/go penalty every time... SVG must be bending over in front of the right people to get away with what he does.

Mat Gee The first time Craig went to Bathurst Brocky walked him around the track twice. The night they arrived with a few beers, pointing out the highlites, early the morning after before the first practice pointing out the dangers! Saw an interview with Craig maybe a year after Brock had gone and he explained the help Peter had passed on to him! Lowndes was Brocks apprentice, no doubt about that!

100% true my friend never be the same again and there's nobody to pass the torch to now either what I mean is Brocky passed it to Craig and there's nobody in the series to pass it on now which is very sad I for one don't watch it anymore only when Craig drives in the endurance races that's it though I'll always watch Bathurst but get exited about the race and results after Craig completely stops it will never be like that for me again 😔😔😔😔😔
What a flashback hey. Doug Mulray commentating. Older model Commodores and Falcons. The 1990s. Just everything about this is so cool ! There is even an old Mercedes running around out there on the track.
This reminds me of when Jeff Gordon just appeared outta no where on the NASCAR scene.. Lowndes made it known on this day. Even with the mix up of the back marker.

Here's two very alike careers: Gordon and Lowndes. They came out storming, won three championships in 4 seasons, showing talent. The series championships stopped kinda early for both, Lowndes even ran for a s***ty team in the early 2000's. But they remained winning, being forces of their categories, fighting for titles on many years

I think the 2L class was already pushed out to their category by this year. They started up the Australian Manufacturers Championship in 1994 which became the Australian Super Touring Championship in 1995. I'm not sure which was the last year of the ARDC Bathurst 1000 when the 2L class was invited, until (obviously) 1997 when the ARDC and V8 Supercars had a disagreement and the 2L class took over the entire Bathurst 1000 (with V8 Supercars running a second Bathurst 1000). Edit -- It seems that the 1995 and 1996 Bathurst 1000s were exclusively for Group 3A 5L cars, and the Super Tourers were not permitted to enter.

The whole of Australia watching the greatest race in Australia witnessing a legend in the making, everyone on the edge of their seats and then a nob ruins the day! I remember it clearly, I saw the lapped car, I just hoped he wouldn't do anything stupid!
I still am driving an ED Falcon. I think that one Bowe was driving was an EB.
Been a Lowndes fan ever since this race, followed him to Ford, back to Holden, wouldn’t matter what he drove. No one can stalk the leader for 40 laps like Craig can, if he wasn’t pushing Reynolds for a good 30 laps, Reynolds would have cruised to victory. How good was it but watching Lowndes do the last lap on his own out in front. Pure gold. I am looking forward to seeing him and Whincup reunite next year. I reckon he can get to 10 wins.

what a gun so close! love lowndes, such a great bloke and a top driver no mater what car hes driving
They were doing 2:06 to save fuel in 2019 bathurst, farout.
Listened to craig on Rusty's garage Podcast and he said brad jones wasn't happy because craig's first practice times were over 3 seconds off the pace and it was brock that pulled him aside and explained how to race bathurst and the last couple of laps he had to back off because he was running out of fuel that's why bowe was able to get away
I'm a Holden fan but consider this race the best ever Bathurst, classic Holden v Ford battle & whoever won it was going to have well deserved it & whoever came 2nd was going to be unlucky. Pity that bad luck came in the way of a back marker affecting the result but that's part of this race, still it would of been nice to have seen it actually coming down to the 2 drivers who were both doing a great job.
John Bowe was a legendary driver as well.

If that moron back barker hadn't come across towards Lowndesy right on Murrays corner heading onto pit straight he would have won. How about the pass on Bowe on the left side into Griffins Bend. A legend was born in Lowndesy! It was also great to hear on the commentary his mentor the late great Peter Brock.

Wow, they had different standards for backmarkers back then huh? Today that backmarker would be crucified for costing Lowndes the race, but they shrugged it off with "Oh well, that's racing!" Imagine if a backmarker shown the blue flag cost an F1 driver a win? They would just about be banned for a race. Seems like bullshit to me, Lowndes could and should have been the youngest winner in that race, and have retired with an extra notch on his belt as of last week. Btw I still remember watching this race live and couldn't believe that move by Lowndes.
