Bathurst 1000 S01 E01 Bathurst 1000 - 1973: The Falcon's Last Flight

History is made as Australia's "Great Race" expands from 500 miles to the grueling 1000-kilometre format at Mount Panorama. Adding to the tension, a new rule change permits co-drivers for the first time. Fans witness an epic, final factory-backed showdown between the legendary Ford XA Falcon GT Hardtops and Holden’s formidable Torana GTR XU-1s. Pit-lane drama, a controversial refueling fire, and a brutal battle of mechanical endurance culminate in a historic victory that marks the official end of an era for factory-funded Ford Australia racing teams.
