That was sickening to watch , huge speed at that part of the track. Yes , we were sitting in the grandstand on Mountain straight but saw it on the big screen near us. Serious crash at flat out speed and he walked away thankfully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious crash at flat out speed and he walked away thankfully The other big one I saw was at Barbagello ( spelling?) where a car failed just as the lights changed to start the race, a car unsighted hit the back and the biggest fireball I have seen in motorsport at the time. Back then the fuel tank was behind the axle line, unlike now where its in front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky to have driven a v8 Falcon round there( birthday pressie) shortest 7 laps I've ever had but great fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard (OldStager) Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 So cool, and I bet it seemed that it took no time. Your Fabs link suggsted another one, so sat here watching ( hopefully not the whole thing in one sitting !!) Bathurst 12 hour 2016, I think SVG won this one but not seen it since it aired live.

It did ...over in a flash. Could have done more , I was always going to go back for another blast but never got round to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
