You have to get it right
the first time and the only time you go over that piece of road. Driving by the seat of your pants is something that PB did exceptionally well. And the cars were really very, very standard, very simple cars and were you know, pretty prone to breaking when they went over some of the most punishing roads in the country. Phil: What Peter Brock did with
the Repco Round Australia Rally must have done a lot to keep people interested in buying this car which was perceived to be at a size disadvantage for the Ford Falcon. Peter: I'm just so focused on doing it purely on adrenaline. I had the sniff of victory around about Darwin and I thought, "Oh, I can win this." I'd had half a lap of Australia to sort of figure it out. Commentator: Commodores have
been challenged by Ford who lie first,
fourth and fifth, separated by Bell and Brock

You have to get it right
the first time
00:00:02.668 --> 00:00:05.936
and the only time you go over
that piece of road.
00:00:05.938 --> 00:00:07.872
Driving by the seat of
your pants is something that
00:00:07.874 --> 00:00:10.174
PB did exceptionally well.
00:00:10.176 --> 00:00:12.977
And the cars were really very,
very standard,
00:00:12.979 --> 00:00:14.779
very simple cars and were
you know,
00:00:14.781 --> 00:00:16.781
pretty prone to breaking
when they went over some
00:00:16.783 --> 00:00:18.716
of the most punishing roads
in the country.
00:00:21.287 --> 00:00:24.855
Phil: What Peter Brock did with
the Repco Round Australia Rally
00:00:24.857 --> 00:00:26.857
must have done a lot
to keep people
00:00:26.859 --> 00:00:29.326
interested in buying this car
00:00:29.328 --> 00:00:32.296
which was perceived to be
at a size disadvantage
00:00:32.298 --> 00:00:34.598
for the Ford Falcon.
00:00:34.006 --> 00:00:38.869
Peter: I'm just so focused on
doing it purely on adrenaline.
00:00:38.871 --> 00:00:41.205

around about Darwin
00:00:41.207 --> 00:00:44.175
and I thought,
"Oh, I can win this."
00:00:44.177 --> 00:00:48.002
I'd had half a lap of Australia
to sort of figure it out.
00:00:48.997 --> 00:00:50.381
Commentator: Commodores have
