Yager Performance, XY-GTHO

Three laps of the greatest race track in the Southern Hemisphere (Mt Panorama at Bathurst, Australia) in the greatest car to ever race on that track - the mighty Ford Falcon XY GTHO.

I don't care if you are a Holden "nut" or a Ford fan ... this is awesome - the sound is just brilliant. 9 minutes of good old Aussie grunt !!

During the race, you will see some old and very old classic racers - including a 1957 Ford Customline - see if you can pick it.

This is brilliant.  
Turn your sound up for this -- you'll love it.
Crazy mixed field of so many cars ... Minis, Cortinas, EHs, even a Volvo.

That is some great footage indeed!

Looks like a reverse grid start. Those Cortinas, Minis, etc, weren't standing still either.
 
IMO the Falcon was not the greatest, but rather one of the great Bathurst cars.

It's sobering to think that guys like Moffat drove 1960s technology flat out like that all day with one short duration driver change. Shows how mentally and physically fit they had to be.

I dips me lid to all of 'em. :hump:
It's C3 chromie for me, see? Si!
