Amazing to think after this race that holden would win Bathurst that year in 16, Brock wouldn't win Bathurst 1000 ever again.Also later how much speed and power Perkins would get out of his old VL. Greg Hansford and Brock would be killed in racing accidents.The series was about to reach the golden years with the GTR, VNs and BMWs which they wrecked a few years later by banning turbos, something their changing in 2017, I may start watching again.
The Nissan GTR destroyed the Sierras in the 90s sadly and the fans got really pissed off about it as it is meant to be Australian Touring cars Ford vs Holden not Japanese touring cars lol
Stupid idea to let the commentary team talk to the drivers at any time , as that caught a few drivers by surprise at 22 min mark the driver nearly lost control on the corner as wasnt expecting it lol
Interesting that Larry Perkins was lapped but Win Percy wasn't. The Holdens were still uncompetitive at this stage but that changed somewhat at the next round. The camera angles were good in this race we can see how quickly the field spread out in the race.
If the Nissan had 2wd...and 1 turbo...and was a bit lighter ..the calls to ban it may have not been so loud.....that car was designed to defy the laws of physics....basically..just the next step in touring cars.....also ..audi did the same in rallies..and with the A4 quattro in touring cars...4wd will usually have the upper hand...especially in wet weather.

jason griffith Hi Jason, thanks for your comment.
Do you have footage of the Formula Holden race from this telecast? Cheers.
Another Sierra -fest, I guess they made the most of it before the GT-R's came along...
But I didn't know Cameron Williams ever looked that young lol
Ford Sierra series doing well, and then...

Dan40049 Thanks for your comment, Dan.
When did Mark Oastler make his commentary debut?
Mike Raymonds knees must have been sore
The dominating Car had a Ford badge wich was fine...but as soon as it became a Nissan badge...BAN IT!!

all wheel drive and a 30% larger engine kinda tipped the balance a bit too far.
Bogus.
