Brock and XU-1 FIRST BATHURST WIN
Brock's First Bathurst Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the King's first win in the mighty XU-1 Torana ...
Peter Brock is part of Bathurst folklore and his first win in The Great Race in 1972 remains one of the most popular stories in Australian touring car racing history.
As part of this special 40th anniversary release, Chevron has dug deep into the Seven Network archives and turned up 30 minutes of rarely seen highlights direct from the race day telecast as it went to air on that magical day when Brock and the XU-1 Torana conquered Allan Moffat and his works Falcon.
As a special bonus, there's also another 30 minutes of rarely seen vision of the following year's 1973 Hardie Ferodo 1000 as Brock came perilously close to back-to-back victories but was forced to watch on as co-driver Doug Chivas ran out of fuel and was forced to push the crippled Torana into the pits.
Both are in black and white but fully capture rare and previously unreleased vision of two of the Mountain's most famous races
