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.
