Last time I watched the Bathurst 1000 was with legends like Peter Brock (King of the Mountain) and Craig Lowdnes in cars like the Ford Falcon V8 that the main public used, such good times then.

The name sounds very cool...Don't know much before about it but seems cool!

Jamie Whincup deserves a mention also.
If the OP don't mind I'll place this vid of some of previous Bathurst 1000 strange moments.

Peter Brock’s main adversary was Allan Moffat who drove for Ford.

I was, and still am, a huge fan of Moff. He’s unfortunately not very well, suffering with dementia.

Qualifying is on now!

Getting dementia is terrible, making you forget things. I see the Sierra Cosworth model of that what he drove, those cars especially the RS500 were going for silly money a few years ago and prices have stabilised and come down some now.

The race is just about to start.

TargaM2 · 02-01-2025, 03:51 PM

BMW looking good in 2nd & 3rd positions at the 3 hour mark.
Temperatures not too hot today which is a good sign for the BMW’ which struggle in the heat.
Race being run at a hectic pace with plenty of big ‘incidents’ already.

TargaM2 · 02-01-2025, 06:47 PM

Halfway mark & BMW currently in 1st & 2nd place.
Long way to go but cars are looking stronger than in previous years.
Much less hectic period of racing than the first 1/4 which was pretty crazy.

Davil · 02-01-2025, 07:28 PM

BMW 1 & 2 with 5h18m to go. My fave Gulf Vantage hanging in 9th which is pretty impressive for a non factory previous spec car.

TargaM2 · 02-01-2025, 09:52 PM

3 hours left. BMW now in 1st & 6th. The Rossi 46 car dropped from 2nd to 6th due to a pit infringement.

Final hour. Looks like the black BMW (32) will take it. But anything can happen. Only 26 seconds covering the top 6.

TargaM2 · 02-01-2025, 11:48 PM

Final hour, BMW #32 still looking good for the win in 1st, #46 back in 5th however speculation that 1 or 2 cars ahead of them may need to stop for fuel again so a podium may be possible. 🫣

Davil · 02-02-2025, 12:27 AM

Blimey. Magnificent move by Marciello! What a move by the white BMW (car 46). Looking like a BMW 1, 2 now. Still 18 minutes left though.

Davil · 02-02-2025, 12:36 AM

Hang on. This Merc in P2 is supposed to run out of fuel. But he isn’t. This will wreck the 1, 2.

Davil · 02-02-2025, 12:40 AM

Merc finally pitted with 6 minutes to go.

BMW 1, 2 close to a sure thing.

Davil · 02-02-2025, 12:52 AM

BMW 1, 2.
Superb effort.

TargaM2 · 02-02-2025, 12:52 AM

BMW finish with a 1-2 result. #32 - 1st & #46 - 2nd. Congrats to the WRT team. All class today. 👍👏

Davil · 02-02-2025, 12:58 AM

Boom.

Fillip · 02-02-2025, 11:42 AM

Excellent Race. This is going to be a great season.
