1987 Shell Ultra Australian Touring Car Championship
Round 9 - Oran Park, NSW (5/7/1987)
Circuit Length: 2.62 km
Race Distance: 50 laps
Weather: Overcast with Showers
With only three points between Seton and Richards in the championship, both teams entered three cars in an effort to win. JPS had their regular lineup of Richards, Longhurst and Finauer, while Nissan entered a third Skyline for John Bowe to join Seton and Fury. Eventually though, neither team's third car would play a significant part in the championship decider.
Again, this one's on YouTube too, so go have a watch! One of the better title deciders in ATCC history.
