He is widely regarded as one of our best-ever in single seaters, but ‘Smithy’ also had a long and successful career in touring cars - in ‘works’ Toyota Corolla touring cars and then the Supra Turbo, which Smithy dubbed the ‘White Whale’.

Join Smithy and Australian MUSCLE Car Magazine founder Ray Berghouse for a trip down his memory lane, exploring the races, rivalries (and several spectacular crashes) from that section of the golden era in Australian motorsport.

Episode 15 - Forbes and Moore (Part 2) 1:10:54

1:10:54

In the 1970s and into the ‘80s they were solid privateer touring car entrant/drivers. But as their careers behind the wheel began to wind down, both men would go on to become movers and shakers in the sport behind the scenes. Forbes tells us about his decision in 1990 to swap his Group A VN Commodore racer for the new and controversial all-wheel-drive Nissan GT-R ‘Godzilla’ – which delivered Bob Forbes Racing victory in the Sandown 500 and third place at Bathurst in 1991. Then, after selling up his race team, Forbes got involved behind the scenes alongside Tony Cochrane in the creation of what we know today as Supercars Australia. In this episode Forbes gives a candid account of the sometimes-heated negotiations between the teams, the track owners and the TV networks that went on behind closed doors. After V8 Supercars was up and running under Cochrane’s leadership, Forbes made a return to team ownership, this time with Ford, as the Blue Oval lured Holden star Craig Lowndes away from the General to race an AU Falcon V8 Supercar. Moore meanwhile tells of his ‘90s foray into 2.0-litre Super Touring racing, and the story of how he managed the almost-impossible in bringing the Williams Engineering ‘works’ Renault team out to run at Bathurst in 1997.…

Part one of Forbes and Moore, where we talk to these privateer racers who are not only both ‘characters’ of the most interesting kind, but were both without doubt ‘the best of the rest’ in the Torana-era! Starting as true amateurs paying their own costs, their careers were often parallel but they never managed to team-up, always being fierce competitors on-track and friends off-track. Both drove cars at Bathurst with Dick Johnson - Bob shared his Torana XU-1 in 1971 finishing fifth outright and Graham shared with Dick in a Ford Capri V6 in 1976 finishing 10th outright. Part one tells of them as drivers – Part two will follow, taking up their stories as team owners and ‘movers and shakers’ in the world of Muscle Car racing!…

Warwick’s race-winning record is second to none in the fearsome Formula 5000 era! The only Australian ever to win the Tasman Series against all comers and the AGP joining Sir Jackie Stewart, Jim Clark, Sir Jack Brabham! He raced against Frank Matich, Niel Allen, Alan Jones, Mario Andretti, AJ Foyt and many others. His second-by-second retelling of the horrendous crash in the Lola T300 at Surfers Paradise Raceway in 1973 that almost took his life is chilling to hear. He says, ’99 times out of 100, I should have died that day! He happily admits to only occasionally being a Muscle Car driver in the terms of road-car-based racing cars, but if an F5000 isn’t a real Muscle Car then what is?…

Before regular TV broadcasts, we relied for race reports on the written word published by newspapers and magazines. The Australian motor racing media in the 1960’s and ‘70’s were trail blazers for today’s TV and social media ‘talking-heads’. The written word had to convey fact and emotion to the reader in a way that could be understood by the millions who read their reports and opinions. Two of the best exponents of this ‘black art’ are Phil Christensen and Peter McKay. Now both ‘retired’ from their previous occupations, their memories of racing, drivers, cars, overseas trips to Grand Prix, le Mans and more, plus numerous controversies will keep you entertained and enlightened!…

He is widely regarded as one of our best-ever in single seaters, but ‘Smithy’ also had a long and successful career in touring cars - in ‘works’ Toyota Corolla touring cars and then the Supra Turbo, which Smithy dubbed the ‘White Whale’.
