CL's last to first effort in Leg 2 of the 1999 Sensational Adelaide 500 (I don't think Clipsal was the naming rights sponsor back then?) was absolutely brilliant I thought- I believe he made it up to 1st place within about 36 laps?
Perfect strategy, quick car, awesome driver. MS' effort in 2000 was also very good. Unfortunately I can't find any online footage of either race, I do have highlights on DVD and Video, but that's it. LP's effort in 1995 that you've already posted is great Chatters, would certainly make my list. I guess you also can't go past Brocky winning the 1979 Bathurst by six laps. |

obviously the rock and everything that unfolded afterwards. also with Dick, the all nighter repairing the XE and literally just getting it done with seconds remaining.
the Moffat,Bond form finish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTpC3LBg400 1973 Bathurst Doug Chivez (spelling?) running out of juice and pushing the UX-1 over the pitlane entry line with the team encouraging him. 92 Bathurst, the finish to the race and the pack of ********s incident aswell as the sad passing of Danny Hulme. while i'm not sure the tittle is 100% right but what an awesome drive by both LP and Bowey, LP's drive would be a contender for the drift championship: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nflj21etu5E also the before mentioned of Bathurst 95 (chatters posted) and Bathurst 79 if winning by 6 laps wasn't enough for the King of the Mountain he had to set the lap record on the last lap. some great stuff we have been treated to over the years. |

I still think this is one of the funniest incidents in touring car history..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhdtDfEOxjg. There's been some good punch ups.. Maife- Ingall. Murphy and Bargs.. Murph and Ambrose. |

incredible (adj.): not credible, surpassing belief, too extraordinary and improbable to be believed, etc.
All memorable in their own way, but none are incredible. That very well-worn clip of Longhurst and Morris at Winton in their BMs must make TL cringe every time someone mentions it. If he'd realised at the time that he'd broken the steering arm on Morris' car, he mightn't have gone off quite like he did - not that I've ever seen a driver hurt by someone punching his helmet.

1) CL's rollover at Calder with Murph and others stopping their cars and running across the track to get to CL with other cars still moving around them
2) Paul Radisich running across the sand trap at Wanaroo/Barbagello to help extricate Brad Jones from his inverted Falcon after Paul had buried his car in there earlier Sportsmanship at its best |
