matthewdmartin 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2010 Does anyone know where I can get copies of the NM500 races? I'm more interested in the '87 to '92 races with the Group A cars. I have contacted TV3 but got nowhere..... Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3 SERIES 92 Report post Posted July 28, 2010 I think my old man recorded every single year on VHS! I'll have to talk to him and see if he still has them. If there is enough demand I could maybe transfer them to DVD as I wouldnt mind a copy of them myself. All this wont happen over night thou! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grant 4 Report post Posted July 28, 2010 Contact the librarian of the BMW Club of NZ. They have footage of some of the races on VHS if I remember correctly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3 SERIES 92 Report post Posted July 28, 2010 Looks promising! Have just spoken to him. He said he has "LOTS" of videos of both the Nissan Mobil 500 & Bathurst going way back. Ill have a dig thru the 60 odd videos over the weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2915 Report post Posted July 28, 2010 Excuse my ignorance but was the NM500 also know as the "Wellington Street Races" ? If that is the case then I would be very interested in a DVD set, and also willing to help copy the stuff over using my media server rig at home. I would also be interested in the earlier Bathurst coverage, particularly for the era with the JPS 635i and the M3s, the few snippets on YouTube have well and truly whet my appetite. Any good books that people can recommend or lend would be most welcome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was standing on Cable st. next to the barrier with no fence!! watching Cossies and M3's batlling it out all day in a round of the World Touring car champs!! Really was the begining for me. Went out and brought a 2002 after that to go racing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Went out and brought a 2002 after that to go racing. Thanks for linking those Paul, epic stuff.I had just got my car license in those days so I was heavily into the touring cars - the start of my love affair with the E30 M3 (one day.... one day....) after seeing them in the British and European champs. Any word on the potential video to DVD / torrent / file transfers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
