Fastest Downshift in the Middle East!

Great piece of footage from last weekend’s V8 Supercar event at the Bahrain International Circuit. Russell Ingall seemingly forgets to change down gears until the very last moment in the midst of this passing attempt on Will Davison. Just love the quick downshifts when he suddenly arrives at the first corner, and realises that he’s […]

Bathurst 1992: The Wet Finish

Jumping back into the archives for a bit – here’s the famous (and some say controversial) finish to the 1992 Tooheys 1000. It was a sad day for me – one of my racing heroes, Denny Hulme died on live television before my eyes that day – of a heart-attack at the wheel early in […]

From the Vault: New Essendon “Mayor”

Although pretty corny (really), here’s another classic snippet I’ve recovered out of my old video collection. On the Wednesday evening after the 1993 AFL Premiership win, here is captain Mark Thompson becoming the “Mayor of Essendon” for the day. Also included is some great footage of the boys lining up for the official team portrait. […]

From The Vault: Bathurst 1993 in 8 Minutes!

Over the past couple of months, I’ve been digging through my old video collection, and found this little gem. I used to snap up the Seven Nightly News sports reports from Wednesday through Sunday of each year’s Bathurst week for posterity – knowing that there’s always little bits of footage and information you don’t get […]

New V8 Season Warming Up

With the move of Triple 8 to Holden for 2010, the new V8 season is getting warmed up, and the internet forums are alive with chatter and predictions. Bring it on!

Red Is Back!

After three lean years in which it has missed out on glory in the biggest motor racing event in this country, the Bathurst 1000, Holden roared back to victory lane yesterday with a dominant result which left the rival Ford teams in their wake. The official Holden Racing Team took out the victory – leading […]

Pot Calling Kettle Black

So Hawthorn’s Campbell Brown thinks Matthew Lloyd is a “sniper” hey? As ridiculous and contradictory as he made himself sound in comparing Saturday’s incident with that of teammate Lance Franklin the week before – an almost identical incident – and refusing to concede that they were similar, perhaps Campbell should look in his own backyard. […]

The Man In The Terry Toweling Hat

Australian motor sports legend, Frank Gardner, died yesterday on the Gold Coast, aged 78. Frank was as famous for his terry-toweling hat, as he was for his celebrated open-wheel and touring car racing career in Europe, including eight Formula One races. He is particularly remembered in Australia for managing the factory-supported JPS Team BMW’s in […]

Zaharakis!

I have no voice. I got soaking wet. Do you think I care? Nope! Two weeks ago we defeated Carlton – yesterday, we defeated Collingwood. That’s a pretty satisfying year already. David Zaharakis kicks the winning goal with 4 seconds left on the clock. Nice. EDIT: 9 May 2009: Just took a capture from the […]

Again? Oh dear…

Essendon have one mission during an season – beat Carlton. Once again, last Saturday, they did just that. I need to say nothing more than: “Superb!”
