"You're a pack of lovely lovely people"- Jim Richards makes up for his 1992 speech after winning the 2002 event. In the heat of the moment at the 1992 Bathurst 1000, Jim Richards was faced with a crowd that was less than welcoming. His infamous response, "You're a pack of Arseholes," reverberated through the motorsport world, sparking debates and discussions about sportsmanship and fan behavior.

The contrasting speeches from 1992 and 2002 encapsulate the journey of a sportsman navigating highs and lows, triumphs and challenges. Jim Richards' evolution from frustration to gratitude serves as a reminder of the complexities of competition and the power of forgiveness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Richards_(racing_driver) WHEN JIM CALLED THEM A PACK OF.... 2015 WINTON - JIM RICHARDS INTERVIEW Kangaroos near misses and hits.
