Well, despite being a Brock fan myself, I'm glad you didn't put Longhurst in that group you mentioned there :P

....or Thecko.....hahaha!

Same as my opinions ssbaby. As I said, i'm a nobody and I agree it would be boring. In fact I thinks these types of discussions are good for forums, we can end up learning of each other as long as the thread remains constructive, which I believe this one did, so thumbs up ssbaby, thanks for the discussion

I suppose it's up to how you define "Best"

Best natural talent - Brock

Best current natural ability - Lowndes

Best in car preparation, and professionalism - Moffat

Best privateer - Johnson

Best at keeping the factory team on it's toes - Grice

Best engineering and knowing the car - Perkins

Best in versatility - Jum

Best impersonation of a teenage tearaway by a geriatric aged driver - the late, great Denny Hulme.

This is for all you Ford Fans out there:

Always thought that Moffat was far better than Johnson as a driver.

Forget sponsorship, money etc.

To me, Moffat was always far smoother, hit apexes consistenly and was far nicer on a car.

Was it just me?

And people just shook their heads, bit their lips and wondered who would be second".

IMHO got to be Brock, no contest. The record books tell the story. Also he was a genius and regular winner in Rally, and open wheelers. He could easily have been a formula 1 world champion if he had taken the risk.

His Mustang he only raced for a season and a half, and was a 289 (4.7 litre).


My vote goes to Black Pete. His 2 Mustangs were the most successful Touring Cars in Australia ever, and anyone who can take their Mustang around the outside of a big Chevy Nova at McPhillamy Park, to take the lead in an ATCC title race has a huge claim.
