Bathurst 1960: two videos
#1
Posted 04 December 2011 - 14:37
On the first, a Ferrari Supersqualo 555 is visible with race no.22, while on the second I have identified two Supersqualos (no.22 and no.1.)
The only races I know at Bathurst for 1960 are the Bathurst 100 on 18/04 and the Craven International on 18/10
The two Ferrari should be the 555 #9001 and 9002.
Can anyone address surely the two videos and the drivers for the mentioned Ferrari?

Hey chaps,
The second video is of the October GT Championship meeting in 1960. There's also some touring cars and sports cars thrown in for good measure.The dead give away is Wally MItchell in the Lotus Repco Buchanan tearing through the trees.
Noteable driver according to Mad dog Medley's Bathurst book are David Mckay - Fiat 600, Ian Geoghegan - Jaguar, Bruce Leer - Milano MG, BG Thompson - Monza Holden, Holt Binnie -Holden Special, Tom Sulman db3s, Stan Jones - Cooper Climax, AJ Mildren - Cooper Climax, Bib Stillwell - Cooper Climax, Sir Jack Brabham -Cooper Climax, Tom Sulman - Maserati 4c, Jack Murray - D Type, Frank Matich Lotus Climax, Bob Jane - Maserati 300s, Wally Mitchell Lotus Reco Holden, W.F Buckle - Buckle.
At the end of the second clips (between 5'45 and 6'00) I have noted two Ferrari 555 (#22 and #1); according my database the only race with these numbers is Bathurst 06/10/1957 - NSW road race ( gold Star n6);
By the way do anyone know where is possible to buy the John Medley's Bathurst book?

for Glass@Ferrari 555@ #10 I have only Lowood cup on 03/11/57, while for the 1958 I have only the race no.2The first clip is from the October 1960 meeting until 1'40, when it slips back to a 1957 or 1958 meeting, probably the 1958 AGP, then at around 2'00 picks up in 1960 again
The No.10 Squalo is Glass's, and the No.22 Clark's
