1986 Australian Touring Car Championship
Round 7 - Calder Park, VIC (1/6/1986)
Circuit Length: 2.40 km
Race Distance: 60 laps
Weather: Overcast
First meeting on Calder's new extended layout. Harvey pulled a surprise by putting his Commodore on the front row alongside Fury, and leading the opening laps. Francevic retired early, while the Nissans and Bowe eventually worked their way past Harvey. Seton and Bowe moved past a brake-conserving Fury, before Seton spun out of the lead at the end of the back straight late in the race. Then Bowe led, but just when he looked like he'd avenge his Wanneroo retirement, the Volvo started to cut out with three laps to go, the fuel tank almost dry. He struggled to the finish, but lost second to Seton on the line. Fury scored a lucky win to take full advantage of Francevic's retirement.
